Enter the 18th Annotation: A Gentle Introduction to the Spiritual Exercises

If you’re longing to grow in your relationship with Jesus but aren’t sure where to begin, the 18th Annotation offers a welcoming and accessible doorway into the heart of Ignatian spirituality. This guided retreat introduces you to the movements, graces, and rhythms of the Spiritual Exercises in a way that fits your season of life—thoughtful, flexible, and deeply rooted in God’s love.

This shortened version, of only 10 weeks, invites you to explore selected themes and prayer practices that open you to God’s presence in meaningful ways. Through Scripture meditation, imaginative prayer, and gentle reflection, you’ll begin to notice how God is already speaking, guiding, and drawing you into deeper freedom.

Throughout the retreat, you will receive:

• Simple, structured prayer invitations shaped by the Spiritual Exercises

• Practical guidance for listening to God in your daily life

• Teachings that illuminate Ignatian practices such as discernment, desire, and interior freedom

• Regular spiritual direction to help you reflect, integrate, and respond to God’s movements

The 18th Annotation is an ideal entry point for those new to the Spiritual Exercises, discerning next steps in their spiritual life, or seeking a season of intentional renewal with Jesus. It’s a retreat of openness—one where you let God set the pace and gently awaken what He desires for you.
