It is very easy in this world to become confused about what the purpose is of our lives. Many people have spent their lives working very hard to achieve success, only to find out at the end that they have wasted much of their time.

The goal of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises is refocus our lives on what is most important, first by correcting our sinful inclinations, and then by pointing us toward the ultimate goal of our lives, which is the glory and praise and service of God, our Creator and Redeemer.

One of the apostolates of the priests of the Institute of the Incarnate Word is the preaching of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. We preach and direct these retreats not only for the men and women of our Religious Family, but also for all those laymen and women who desire to experience them.
