Brian O'Leary explores the inner spiritual life of St. Ignatius of Loyola and challenges the view of Ignatius mainly as a disciplined ascetic and organizer, presenting him instead as a "major Christian mystic" whose deep, personal experience of God profoundly shaped his life and work.
The book draws on Ignatius' own writings, especially his 'Autobiography' and 'Spiritual Diary', to uncover his mystical experiences at places such as Loyola, Manresa during his conversion to those later in Rome when he had reached a greater spiritual maturity. These encounters influenced his teachings and spiritual practices.
O'Leary writes clearly and accessibly, aiming to make readers not just understand but 'connect with' Ignatian mysticism, offering a transformative reading experience for believers and those interested in spirituality more broadly.
