EXPERIENCES IN GIVING IGNATIAN RETREATS

Abstract

Love of God and neighbour is the theme of Fr George Ukken's and Fr Bernard Mallia's report on their experience in giving retreats in Sudan. In his 5-day retreats for Church personnel, Fr Ukken lays stress on prolonged prayer experience, personal
effort and discernment. He has also tried a psychological approach to the Spiritual Exercises. Both find it helpful to introduce the practice of the examination of consciousness and would like more lay people to have the opportunity of doing Ignatian retreats.
