Product Overview

Hearts on Fire compiles 117 prayers, written by some 40 Jesuits from the time of the foundation of the Society through today. Some are paraphrases of material in the Spiritual Exercises; others are practical applications that grew out of retreat meditations. The prayers are organized within four “weeks” of the Exercises, but each group of selections is eclectic and diverse. The prayer of a Jesuit steeped in the piety of the 17th century may appear next to that of a modern social reformer, for example; a theologian’s reflections may follow thoughts of a parish priest. This product is also available in Spanish.

    Hearts on Fire: Praying With Jesuits

    Posted by John Barrett on Jul 5th 2024

    Although a "Dyed in the wool" Protestant, raised in the faith in a very literal, fundamentalism, this booklet introduced me to writers of "True Faith" whose prayers opened up a new world of understanding and knowing God. I highly recommend it to every seeker of genuine faith. July 5, 2024

    Hearts on Fire: Praying with Jesuits

    Posted by Paul Turnley on Apr 12th 2024

    Excellent overview for those steeped in Ignatian Spirituality and introduction for those new to this approach. Refreshingly diverse, including prayers, meditations, poems, updates of old favorites, e.g. the Principle and Foundation, from both recognized luminaries and unheralded Black Robes. A great source for bedtime prayer.

    This book should not be retired from circulation. An excellent book on prayers that can be used over a lifetime

    A wonderful resource of written prayer. Each year we buy copies of this for approximately 30 individuals who are praying the Spiritual Exercises with us through the Bridges Foundation in St. Louis.

    Hearts on Fire

    There have been many compilations of essential Jesuits proper to the Society of Jesus. As a novice I recall using one such edition printed in India. Later we used one called “For Jesuits “ . This contemporary version has been an inseparable companion with the breviary which are the stuff of my daily prayers. I appreciate very much the contemporary prayers and resources, but I miss the prayers like the litanies and the litanies of specific Jesuit Saints like Sts Ignatius and Stanislaus.

    This is a lovely little prayer book. I ordered it to get a reading for a memorial service. I was pleased to find the poem/prayer You Have Called Me by Name, by Joseph Tetlow, SJ. Thank you.
