The titles we have not read ourselves were found in the bibliographies in work by an author whom we have read and admired. The books and articles are arranged alphabetically by the author’s last name with two exceptions: 1) translations of Ignatius’s own work, the Spiritual Exercises or his autobiography, are listed under “St. Ignatius,” and the translator or editor’s name has been placed after the title; 2) strictly biographical work contains his name as the first words of the title. We placed these titles first so that all these books would be grouped together.

I met Edward Malatesta in 1965, and remember him fondly as a wonderful scholar with enthusiastic energy. He worked with my mentor, Fr. Francis Rouleau. Edward would later take Francis' work to the Matteo Ricci Institute at USF, one of the largest collections of books in Chinese in North America. Edward died in 1998 in his beloved China.]

Online resources for the Spiritual Exercises
There are several English-language sites dedicated to Ignatius’s Exercises, set up and maintained by American Jesuits or Jesuit Universities. While the usual bibliography is not aimed at critique, and certainly when aimed at spirituality, it might even be frowned on, we want to encourage full use of the interactive capabilities of the net. Retreats are full of participation and exchange. We would like to encourage people who create sites to fully realize the potential of the net.
Although there will inevitably be duplication and overlap, a site devoted to retreat work has to provide some background without requiring users to click all over the internet to get oriented. But we wonder why, in the nearly instantaneous online world, every site feels compelled to cover the same ground, slowly and ponderously. It is a waste of resources. There are, however, a few very good sites with wonderful innovations and initiatives. We will highlight those.
This information is current as of the end of 2008. We expect more online resources and hope to keep our information up to date. We have also only considered sites that are US-based. As sites become more interactive and less advertisements for local retreat services, we intend to include them.
The sites:
The full text of Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius, the translation of the Autograph of the Exercises prepared by Fr. Elder Mullan, S.J., is available in PDF format at the website of the Jesuit Conference of the United States. Knowing what Ignatius thought and how he informed the Jesuits who directed the Exercises is pretty basic. This site is just the translation, not interpretation or commentary, with no search capability.
The website of the Conference also includes a page listing the contact information for all their retreat houses and “retreat opportunities” in the US.
The website of the Creighton University Online Ministries has been highly recommended by many people. We also like the format and the functionality. The heart of this work is an innovative 34-week retreat, an adaptation of the format that Ignatius counseled. The creators call it a “retreat for everyday life.” There is an interactive function on the site. You can make your retreat with or without a director. You also have the option of joining a group that is doing a retreat at the same time, and can share your experiences as a kind of peer direction. Of all the online presentations, Creighton University had by far the most real-time human support.
Loyola Marymount, Los Angeles. The California Jesuits offer the Exercises to individuals/small groups to make the Exercises, “with an emphasis on adapting to the individual retreatant.” Morgan did a 19th Annotation Retreat here, which he writes about here in “Inclined Toward Love: Notes while doing the Spiritual Exercises.” The website promotes that retreat work.
We would like to point to an innovation of the Institute for Ignatian Spirituality that is outlined with some very clear instructions: An Awareness Examination of Conscience.
Ignatius’s examen seems to emphasize the gap between humankind and God and our failure to respond to God’s love. Thus, you look back over the recent part of your day to check on the number of times a fault that you are guarding against occurred in thought or deed. The Awareness Examination asks that you pay attention to “feelings, moods, thoughts, desires to get a sense of what is going on in one's life; praying for healing and forgiveness,” and that, as you end your period of reflection, you consider “the immediate future and paying attention to the feelings that spontaneously arise."
The Jesuit Collaborative. The Jesuit provinces of the Northeast have initiated “a professional association of Jesuits, laypersons, clergy, and religious who share in common the spiritual tradition of St. Ignatius” to carry on and promote the work of the Exercises. Though not a site with much information about the Exercises themselves, it appears to be a portal for information about a broad range of opportunities.
