THREE METHODS OF PRAYER

Although less well known than the imaginative gospel contemplation or the ‘examen’, the Spiritual Exercises contain three other methods of prayer.

1. The first method is a meditation on life and on what, in the day of Ignatius, were well-known lists such as The Ten Commandments, The Seven Deadly Sins, The three Powers of the Soul and The Five Senses; lists that people would easily be able to call to mind;

1. The second method consist of taking a common prayer a word or phrase and reflecting on it, much like lectio divina.

1. The third method involves the taking of a word at a time from a common prayer and hold each word for the space of a deep breath.
