When it seems there is no way out, we are best qualified for God's help. And He will lift us up as the well known church song "On Eagle's Wings" by Michael Joncas says:
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of His hand.
(based on Psalm 91)
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.
