The fifth special Issue (2021) of the theological research review Ignaziana (www.ignaziana.org) is online.
It is a translation into English of a Japanese text by Fr. Pedro Arrupe when he was novice master in Hiroshima in 1949. These are the conferences that Fr. Arrupe offered to the novices during the month of Spiritual Exercises. The present translation done by Ms. Miki Lucia Suzuki-Hayashi corresponds to the first week of the Exercises and to the first volume of five, whose title is The Path to Christ. Reflections on the Spiritual Exercises.
Expression of the Ignatian Spirituality Centre at the Gregorian University, Ignaziana is a free six-monthly review that aims to stimulate and deepen research into the Christian tradition inaugurated by St. Ignatius of Loyola. The articles are freely available.
