Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches for the Exercises of an Eight Days' Retreat As a help for those who wish to avail themselves of this plan of eight days' spiritual exercises, we beg leave to make a few preliminary remarks. I. It is self-evident that this plan presupposes the little book or text of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius; because our object is only to develop somewhat further the meditations in that book, and thus to call attention to the abundance of thought therein contained. Thus these meditations may become all the more helpful for the salvation of souls. Hence we take for granted the many practical hints laid down in the numerous annotations and additions which the Saint applies on suitable occasions. These pages are not intended as a commentary on the Book of Exercises, but rather as a development of the points of meditation. 2. The meditations are especially composed or priests, theologians, and members of religious communities; however, lay persons also, both men and women, will find in them much which they can with profit apply to themselves. 3. The meditations will not be equally useful or sufficient for all alike, because the circumstances and needs of individuals are so very different.
