“Ignatian spiritual direction can be understood as aiming to help people recognise and respond to the call of God in their lives. It offers, in the examen, a method of prayer suited to this; in its teaching on discernment, a series of techniques that enable one to proceed more surely; and in its understanding of the ‘Weeks’ which underpin the Spiritual Exercises, a framework and process within which those accompanied are invited to recognise their own journey …” Paul Nicolson S.J.
