Excerpt from Science of Spiritual Life: According to the Spiritual Exercises The Book of the Spiritual Exercises contains the principles on which St. Ignatius, under God, formed his Society, and embodies its very essence and spirit. It is for this reason that all who are called by God to become members of that Society, and who wish to correspond to their high vocation, must always regard it as a sacred duty to apply themselves seriously to a study of the meaning and bearing of each word of a work which in such a short and concise form comprises the whole spirit of the Institute of the Society of Jesus, and to form themselves both interiorly and exteriorly in accordance with its teaching. To enable them to do this as effectually as by God's grace is possible, every member of the Society on his entrance has to spend one month in performing the Exercises, and during the two years of retirement in the Novitiate has to make them the constant subject of his study. In addition to this, there is a third year of probation devoted to the same holy occupation, and to a repetition of the month's retreat after each one has completed his full course of studies.
