博客來＂Ignatius was brought up in the lap of nature and developed a fondness for creation＂. This book offers a new and exciting reading of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius based on his Basque roots and love of nature. Aprayerful re-reading of the text discovers an ecological dimension running all through the Exercises that, in a rapidly heating world, can offer an Ignatian-based new relationship with creation and adds urgency to the commitment to care.
＂The ecological conversion we need to save us and our planet requires a new way to relate to God, to creation, and to each other. Sr. Margaret charts that way, unlocking St. Ignatius and the Spiritual Exercises to show us the God at loving work in all his creatures.＂
