The Autobiography of St. Ignatius Loyola | #5: Sojourn at Manresa, Part II

Ignatius describes God teaching him “as a schoolmaster teaches a child” through prayer, visions and profound spiritual insight. His great illumination beside the Cardoner River transforms his understanding, while further experiences teach him to distinguish genuine grace from deceptive consolation.
