God of the Exercises

In a world which employs the most sacred terms with little reverence or appreciation God of the Exercises: A Director’s Diary-Directory during the Spiritual Exercises of Thirty Days suggests the use of ordinary human exercises of mind and body to discover God.

Paul Dominic reveals how the gift of directing the Exercises calls upon all of us to be willing to have our hearts changed, to recognize the gift of God at each moment of this journey, to see with new eyes the realities of our lives and cultures… May this book inspire all of us called to this ministry to recognize the gift of God in our calling.  Nancy Y. Sheridan SASV

The Indian context is an especially strong feature of this book, partly from the use of Hindu terms and partly from an appreciation of what devout Hindus can teach us… There is much to be learned from God of the Exercises because it demonstrates, through one man’s personal experience, what in practice the giving of the Exercises entails.                          Joseph A.Munitiz, SJ                                                                                                                    Former Master, Campion Hall, Oxford

I have read completely God of the Exercises, and reread several parts of it. I admire both the frankness and candour and the depth of background learning that runs through it. In fact, while I had consulted the footnotes while reading the text, after finishing it I went back to look at those notes again because they impressed me in the range and quality of sources used therein to enrich the author’s own reflection.                                                                           John Padberg, SJ            &nb...
