Day 17 – Meditation: The Incarnation – Fr. Andrew Barth

Welcome to Day 17 of the Spiritual Exercises. Having considered the call of Christ the King, we now begin our first ‘contemplation’ properly speaking by looking at the Incarnation of the 2nd Person the Holy Trinity (cf. Lk 1). In a contemplation, we insert ourselves into a scene from the life of Christ, pondering who is there, what they say, what they do, before reflecting on the scene.

Consultation

A key element of the Spiritual Exercises is the dialogue between the director of the Exercises, and the retreatant (you). This dialogue should consist of but not limited to:

  • Guidance regarding spiritual, practical, or 
  • Religious experiences throughout the exercises (what God moves you to understand)
  • Difficulties & Temptations
  • Not understanding an exercise
  • Significant decisions
