The Autobiography of St. Ignatius by St. Ignatius Loyola audiobook.

Genre: biography

This account of the life of St. Ignatius, dictated by himself to Father Gonzalez, is a most valuable record of the great Founder of the Society of Jesus. It, more than any other work, gives an insight into the spiritual life of St. Ignatius. Few works in ascetical literature, except the writings of St. Teresa and St. Augustine, impart such a knowledge of the soul.The saint in his narrative always refers to himself in the third person, and this mode of speech has here been retained. Many persons who have neither the time, nor, perhaps, the inclination, to read larger works, will read, we trust, with pleasure and profit this autobiography. Ignatius, as he lay wounded in his brother's house, read the lives of the saints to while away the time. Touched by grace, he cried, 'What St. Francis and St. Dominic have done, that, by God's grace, I will do.' May this little book, in like manner, inspire its readers with the desire of imitating St. Ignatius. This autobiography is a valuable key for the understanding of his Spiritual Exercises. It was kept in the archives for about 150 years

Adrift on an Ice-Pan by Sir Wilfred Grenfell audiobook.

Genre: biography

In Adrift on an Ice-Pan, Sir Wilfred Grenfell, the famed doctor and medical missionary of northern Newfoundland and Labrador, recounts a single harrowing journey that became one of the defining stories of his life. On Easter Sunday in 1908, a desperate call pulls him from St. Anthony into the white expanse: a young patient needs urgent help, and Grenfell sets out fast with a komatik and a team of trusted dogs. Trying to save time by cutting across a bay, he is suddenly betrayed by spring ice that fractures and moves underfoot, leaving man and animals soaked, stranded, and drifting seaward on a floating pan as wind and current open the water around them. With supplies lost, visibility failing, and cold closing in, Grenfell must improvise shelter, warmth, and a plan from whatever remains, making split-second decisions that test endurance, ingenuity, and conscience. Told with vivid detail and plainspoken intensity, this short memoir blends survival narrative with Grenfell's deep faith and his lifelong commitment to isolated coastal communities, revealing what it costs to keep going when help feels impossibly far away.

The Spiritual Exercises by St. Ignatius Loyola audiobook.

Genre: religion

These are the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, a plan of contemplation to be carried out over about a month. St. Ignatius of Loyola (1419-1556) was the founder of the Jesuits, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. He published the Spiritual Exercises in 1548. The Exercises were intended for use by someone who would be conducting a retreat and are a series of notes on methods and things to cover. As such they read more like a manual and overview than a devotional book that one can look to for edification. They presume the person conducting the retreat or the exercises has already been through them. They are a central part of the first year training of Jesuit novitiates. However, one does not have to be a Jesuit-in-training to take advantage of the Exercises: Increasingly, lay people and even non-Catholics follow this path (1491 - 1556)
