The Spiritual Exercises aim to order one’s life. To order my life, I must order my affections so that my heart is not affected by anything. I must choose and discern in the best possible way, always seeking to do God’s will rather than my own.
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)
