Throughout the book of the Exercises, St. Ignatius only seeks that each man strives to order his own life according to God’s plan, that is, to seek his own holiness. Father Casanovas, a great commentator on the Ignatian method, affirmed that St. Ignatius with the Exercises offers us “a practical method to know how to live holiness in its most perfect degree, he teaches pure and total holiness, drawing it from the doctrine and the examples of Our Lord Jesus Christ…” Since every Christian is called to holiness , it is assumed that anyone who devotes time to retreat and prayer has seriously decided to follow this desire that God has for everyone. To do so, it is essential to free oneself from all “disordered affection,” that is, from all those loves that are not ordered to God as an end, because it is very difficult to know and do the will of God if one is not willing to renounce one’s own will, which might contain evil or disordered tendencies. The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius consist of a combination of talks and meditations in a prayerful atmosphere, during which this knowledge and desire to fulfill the will of God will lead the person doing the exercises to plan his life and to make important decisions in accordance with the divine good pleasure. For this reason, many people who do the Spiritual Exercises come to know and follow the will of God with respect to their vocation. Hence, although discernment of vocation is not the main purpose of the Exercises, they are, I dare to say, a method, almost infallible, of vocational discernment for those who seek God with a righteous heart.
