If you are interested in doing the Spiritual Exercises in daily life (also known as the 19th annotation retreat), September brings an opportunity to start in alignment with the liturgical calendar. Retreat houses around the country offer the experience, such as the Loyola Institute for Spirituality in Orange, CA—which offers the Exercises in Korean and Chinese in addition to their English and Spanish programming.
For those unable to participate through a retreat center, the Spiritual Exercises can be done using a book such as The Ignatian Adventure or Retreat in the Real World or with online aids. Creighton University’s Online Ministries offers a 34-week version of the Exercises in nine different languages. The Creighton version’s start date is September 13, 2015, for the retreat to fit with the liturgical year.
