An intimate prayer adventure
The Exercises are a journey to expand beyond our small self and experience true brotherhood with Jesus
Hear a personal story about The Exercises
Often called the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius or the 19th Annotation, the heart of the Exercises is to feel and experience Jesus in a raw, up close, and in-person way.
Learn to see the world that Jesus saw
Through a daily practice of prayer, enter into the world of Jesus in a visceral way. You will begin to feel what He felt, see what He saw. You will learn to think His thoughts and develop a deepened friendship and intimacy with Him.
Become fully alive in your true self
Learn how to embrace a posture of listening to God, discerning what you are supposed to do in your life. As you understand yourself as a treasured child of God, you will find the freedom to live fully as the man you are called to be.

- to develop daily rhythms of silence and connection with God
- to learn how to make wise decisions in your life
