Known as “Ignatian” because rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), these five elements together comprised (and continue to comprise) the essential components of Jesuits’ meditative practices and became integrated with the Jesuits’ approach to education in the schools they established around the world.
