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.

5 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.

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.

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.
