St. Ignatius Loyola is one of the great shapers of the Catholic tradition. The Spanish soldier turned pilgrim for Christ bequeathed not only an extraordinary institutional legacy but also a distinctive spirituality that today nourishes men and women looking for ways to integrate faith and life. Informing Jesuit education, ministry, and training in communities around the world, Ignatian spirituality offers a practical vision―of engaged, responsible, discerning men and women striving to find God in all things―that resonates in this age of transition.
Drawn from the vast body of Ignatius’s writings, these 365 maxims help everyone reflect on the presence of God in daily life. First complied by the Jesuit scholar Gabriel Hevenesi in 1715 as Scintillae Ignatianae, these brief thoughts, supplications, prayers, directions, and other aphorisms were first published in an English translation in 1928 but have been unavailable in book form for many years.
Organized into a daybook for contemplation, Ignatius’s words serve as personal spiritual exercises. They touch on a range of topics, from affirmations of God’s presence and Christ’s love to practical advice for living a life of virtue in service to others. In this accessible gathering, anyone seeking a richer spiritual life will find words that inspire, challenge, enlighten, and transform.
FROM THE BOOK
“A little holiness and great health of body does more in the care of souls than great holiness and little health.“Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”
“The sharper you are at noticing other people’s failings, the more apt you will be to overlook your own.”
“Go and set the whole world on fire.”

Thoughts of St. Ignatius Loyola for Every Day of the Year Reviews
-
Un fel de to-do list spiritual și care poate fi utilizat și în zilele noastre. Câteva „gânduri de suflet” care mi-au plăcut:
18th of March: You will be helped more in procuring another man’s salvation by meekness and humility than by authority; and you will gain your end sooner by yielding than by fighting.
11th of September: If you promise anything for tomorrow, do it today rather than put it off.
29th of October: If you seek peace and tranquillity, you will certainly not find them so long as you have a cause of disturbance and turmoil within yourself. -
A book of aphorisms from a spiritual, psychological, and organizational genius. Worthwhile and applicable insights that can be digested day by day.
