IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA AUTOR: ANDREW BOBOLA GARCIA, S.J. VISTO BUENO DEL DIRECTOR ,/ Prof. Dr. D. JOSE GARCIA DE CASTRO 'VALDES, S.J. Fdo. Madrid - Diciembre 201 INTRODUCTION Tears and compunction and the First Week of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola Within the context of the classic, month-long Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, the exercises of the First Week constitute a certain sine qua non of fully and deeply experiencing the whole of the Spiritual Exercises. The exercises of the First Week, through the Principal and Foundation, the examinations of conscience (both the particular and general), the invitation to the sacrament of confession and frequent communion, lay down the basic ground work for the conversion experience. They instill in the exercitant1 the important disposition and attitude for continual conversion – a disposition that incisively opens the exercitant up to all the subsequent exercises in an unparalleled way. As such, it is crucial that the exercitant be carefully and completely exposed to all of the dynamics of the meditations of the exercises found within the First Week. Clearly, the central part of the structure of the exercises contained within the First Week hinges upon the meditations on sin and all of its implications and repercussions: from the vile reality of sin and personal sin to the real possibility of damnation and the great gift of salvation wrought by Christ.

  • Funeral Rituals and Civic Community in Seventeenth
    POMPA FUNEBRIS: FUNERAL RITUALS AND CIVIC COMMUNITY IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY VILNIUS By Povilas Dikavičius Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Matthias Riedl Second Reader: Professor György E. Szönyi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 i “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection ii ABSTRACT Baroque urban funerals were festivities which used religious signs and displayed them in a multiconfessional environment. This can be seen as of manifestation of religious difference, which might have presented a pretext for outbreaks of violence. However, most of the time these ceremonies ended without causing additional turmoil. The present thesis aims to explore the possible causes allowing these morbid festivities to remain peaceful and the effects that they might have had on the urban community. The research is based in the latter part of seventeenth-century, when the political discord was widespread in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Vilnius felt the repercussions of the Northern Wars firsthand, for it was occupied twice. This provides for an interesting background to determine if the civic belonging would increase at the time of trouble.
