OverviewWhy do the Spiritual Exercises not change us as deeply as we hope? This is the haunting question that was raised at the recent general congregation of the Jesuits about Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises and the question the contributors to this book explore and attempt to answer in the context of ongoing racial injustice in the United States. All of us who love and are engaged in Ignatian spirituality must also ask ourselves this same question. Contributors explore this question by examining how “color-blindness racism” determines our interpretation of the Spiritual Exercises in the United States. Animated by the grace of Ignatius's conversion experience these spiritual directors, theologians, and leaders in Jesuit ministries offer insightful scholarly and creative pastoral engagement of the Spiritual Exercises for the ongoing journey of conversion from racism and white supremacy in the United States.

What emerges through the poignant and prayerful essays offered in this volume is hope and a broadened perspective. Together, the collection demonstrates that the heritage of racially charged violence, negligence, and human suffering which so often give way to indifference and paralysis do not have the final word in our discourse and imagination. Compassionate solidarity grounded in Christian and Ignatian tradition uncover paths of transformative possibilities.""

Praying for Freedom invites us into the movement of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, into becoming swept up and responsive to the overabundance of God's grace, into turning toward the sacramentality of all bodies, and into unlearning white supremacy, a holy unlearning.

As we actively engage with the Spiritual Exercises, we begin to see differently, hear differently, and move differently in community. Let freedom ring as we encounter these all-encompassing exercises in love!"" Lori Stanley, Executive Director of Loyola Institute for Spirituality-- (11/7/2023 12:00:00 AM) ""It is about movement.
