Descripción
The Ignatian Examen, as presented in the Spiritual Exercises [Sp. Ex. 43], has been interpreted in more than one way over the centuries. Our thesis is that the Ignatian Examen is better understood in the crossroads of Morality and Spirituality – the convergence of moral teachings and spiritual principles
provide the ambit to situate the shift in the ways this spiritual exercise is understood today. The Examen, when taken not in isolation of the First Week but in the totality of Ignatian spirituality, can be understood as an exercise of finding God in one’s daily events and therefore related to spiritual discernment.
