If God takes care of the beauty of a flower that lives few days, how much more is he taking care of the beauty of his children. You are a child of God, and he wishes to crown you with beauty and gentleness. As it is written in Ps 103,4-5: He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy. He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle. (MČ)
Iñigo stayed in the cave in Manresa about one year. He was sorry for all his sins, and he prayed over the mysteries of Jesus' life. Thus he was the first to go through spiritual exercises under the direction of our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary. He recorded the instructions and insights and later wrote a book Spiritual Exercises. This book has been used for centuries by many who wanted to know and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Today the cave is nicely maintained and is part of the Jesuit church. At the entrance to the cave angels hold the inscriptions with sentences taken from the book Spiritual Exercises written by St. Ignatius in Spanish.
I seek the inner knowledge of the Lord who for my sake became a man so that I may love him and revere Him ever more.
Christ calls everyone under His standard, and on the other side Lucifer under his.
