Give attention and repentance a firmer foundation.
Ascetical Experiences gathers thirty-nine complete works from Part I of Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov’s ascetical writings, retaining their order. Prayer, deceptive thoughts, watchfulness, and the passions are considered as parts of one Christian struggle. The collection offers a broader introduction to Ignatius’s spiritual counsel than a single-topic volume, while preserving enough continuity to follow his recurring emphasis on sobriety and humility.
