Spiritual Exercises Week 1 Painting This painting by Catalan artists Gemma Guasch and Josep Asuncion hangs in the entryway to the spirituality centre at Manresa where, in the cave above which it is built, St Ignatius hoped and wrote the starts of the Spiritual Workouts in 1522. It is the first of 4 canvases representing the four weeks of the Spiritual Exercises.
The painting might be analyzed as representing me. The intense spots and lines in white, orange and yellow, represent all that is best in me. It is what Christian theology calls the 'imago Dei' teaching: the belief that I am made in the 'image and similarity' of God, my developer (cf.
Genesis 2:7). In front of the bright colours are dark spots and lines which may be represented as the less great side of me - the things that spoils my finest self and obstructs of my growing to be what God calls me to be. wft examens are a mix of the excellent and the bad.

Ignatian spirituality is among the most prominent and pervasive spiritual outlooks of our age. Ignatian spirituality is rooted in the experiences of Ignatius Loyola (14911556), a Basque aristocrat whose conversion to an impassioned Christian faith began while he was recovering from war wounds. Ignatius, who founded the Jesuits, acquired numerous insights into a spiritual life in the course of a decades-long spiritual journey throughout which he became adept at helping others deepen their relationship with God.
