The Spiritual Exercises (Exercitia Spiritualia) of St Ignatius of Loyola, which are a group of Christian meditations and contemplations accompanied with prayers, are a great resource for spiritual renewal.
St Ignatius taught that “it is typical of the evil spirit to instil remorse, sadness and difficulties and to cause needless worry to prevent us from going forward; instead it is typical of the good spirit to instil courage and energy, consolations and tears, inspirations and serenity and to lessen and remove every difficulty to make us advance on the path of goodness”.
Lord, endow me with your goodness, honesty, dedication, devotion, fidelity, professionalism, solidarity, obedience and a prayerful heart.
