Praying the New Spiritual Exercises
André Auger was born in 1941, got his Licentiate in Philosophy at the Université de Montreal, and his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Guelph. After retiring from a senior management position in student services at the University of Guelph, André retrained as a spiritual director and has been a Covenanted Spiritual Companion at Harcourt Memorial United Church since 2005. He became acquainted with Louis Savary’s The New Spiritual Exercises through his own spiritual director, and has offered them and participated in them several times. André is married and has two adult children and four grandchildren.
This book is seen as a companion to Louis M. Savary’s excellent updating of the traditional Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. It is designed to turn this highly readable “transposition” of a spiritual classic, in the spirit of Teilhard de Chardin, into material amenable to be used in a retreat setting or as a “retreat in daily life” (Annotation 19).
