Ignatian spirituality reminds us that God pursues us in the routines of our home and work life, and in the hopes and fears of life's challenges. The founder of the Jesuits, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, created the Spiritual Exercises to deepen our relationship with Christ and to move our contemplation into service. May this prayer site anchor your day and strengthen your resolve to remember what truly matters. JesuitPrayer.org provides Ignatian prayers, inspirational messages, and daily reflections based on the Gospels—all delivered to your mobile phone, desktop, or email inbox.
