Tomislav Špiranec orcid.org/0009-0007-3473-6429

Abstract

The article explores virtues in the fundamental writings of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The method used is a close historical–critical reading of the following Ignatius texts: the Autobiography, Spiritual Exercises, and the Constitutions in their socio–historical context and intertextuality. St. Ignatius uses a mixture of traditional Christian virtues as a means to articulate his own experience, and he links the Catholic identity to daily life in order to develop a particular spiritual exercise.
