St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order,
developed his Spiritual Exercises so that people could retreat for 30 days of prayer and silence
to grow in their relationship with God
and learn to listen for the voice of the Spirit in their lives.
He adapted these Exercises for people who could not go away for 30 days.
This adaptation, called the 19th Annotation, is the basis of
The Full Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Retreat in Everyday Life;
this retreat invites people to make the Exercises
with the guidance of a spiritual director
over a period of nine months,
while continuing to live their daily lives.

1. Encounter the living God and God’s presence in creation, their personal life stories, and current life circumstances;
