Soldiering with Saint Ignatius, a thirty-week yomp throuth The Nineteenth Annotation Spiritual Exercises Jack Oakley

Jack Oakley"s thirty-week "yomp" through Ignatius of Loyola"s Spiritual Exercises (as interpreted by Father David Fleming) is not so much a march through the dark night of the soul but rather a sunlit ramble through spiritual highways and byways. The fauna and flora are noted; the tricky bits discussed; the mistakes and wrong stresses placed, in the author"s view, by Fleming on sin, suffering and gloomy self-analysis, are candidly dismissed; the joy of Eastertide and the satisfaction of renewed and focused beliefs are extolled. Clearly, it"s the journey that matters. Arrival - the leap of faith mentioned by Kierkegaard, and by the author in his "Final Reflections", remains elusive. But here, from a retired academic, comes a positive, excellently expressed journal concerning prayer, Bible incidents, current world problems, Ignatian ideals, Catholic/Anglican differences, the role of Christ, and our relationship with God. Ask not what our Creator can do for us; rather ask what we can do for Him. This work will help us.
