Spiritual Exercises from Ignacio de Loyola

An 8-Day Retreat

From: Clotilde de Maroussem, IBVM

The 8 days retreat is a short version of the 30-day of the Spiritual Exercises from Ignacio de Loyola. Each day presents a theme which the retreatant deepens by contemplating, in the Ignatian way, the biblical passages offered for the day. In October 2024, this time of renewal took place for the IBVM sisters of Mauritius at the Maris Stella Center in Souillac, with members of other religious congregations and lay coworkers.  It was led by Cardinal Maurice Piat.

Clotilde ibvm: “Every day I took a photo that represented the theme of the day, allowing me to express visually my response to the unfolding of my day. “

Day 1 :  One’s faith journey while being in God’s garden

Day 2 :  Sin and the mercy of God

Day 3 :  The call to mission

Day 4 :  The road to Jerusalem

Day 5 :  The Last Supper and the Agony

Day 6 :  The wounds of Jesus after His resurrection

Day 7 :  The 7 <Yeses> of Mary

Day 8 :  Go and be bearers of hope

    1. To see a world in a grain of sand
      And a heaven in a wild flower,
      Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
      And eternity in an hour.

      W. Blake (Auguries of Innocence)
