DVD - Spiritual Exercises Retreat
I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I'd read about the Spiritual Exercises retreat in a DVD format ... today I happened to come across a version of this, as given by Fr. Raymond Gawronski SJ.
Here's the blurb for the DVD ...
Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius DVD - Under the guidance of Fr. Raymond Gawronski, the viewers of this series can make the actual Ignatian retreat, covering all the major points of the Spiritual Exercises. These "exercises of the soul" are intended to lead the follower of Christ from self will and excessive attachment into the freedom of the sons of God: freedom to know -- to discern -- and do the will of God in his life. The goal is to enter fully as possible into the subject matter at hand, employing all our faculties of imagination, memory, understanding, and will. Fr. Gawronski presents the 30 day retreat of St. Ignatius in a series of 13 half-hour retreat talks suggesting points of meditation and reflection., (Fr. Raymond Gawronski, S.J.), 2 DVD Set, 13 / 28 min. programs.
Looking elsewhere, I found a little info on Fr. Gawronski ...
A native of New York City, Fr. Raymond Gawronski, SJ lived in many places around the world before settling down as a Jesuit of the Maryland Province. Building on earlier graduate work in the religious traditions of Asia and of Eastern Christianity, he completed his doctorate at the Gregorian University in Rome, specializing in the thought of Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. His research in this area was published as Word and Silence: Hans Urs Von Balthasar and the Spiritual Encounter of East and West (William B. Eerdmans Publishers). For thirteen years he was on the faculty of Marquette University in Milwaukee, where he taught courses in Christian discipleship, mystical theology, world religions, eschatology, and, of course, the thought of von Balthasar. Currently he is on the faculty of the Saint John Vianney Seminary in Denver, where is also a spiritual director.
In addition to his work as professor, he has done much work as a retreat director. His series The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius (DVD: Ignatius Press) has long been shown on EWTN, and led to his book A Closer Walk with Christ: A Personal Ignatian Retreat (Our Sunday Visitor Press). He has written many articles on various subjects, most recently on the Papacy of John Paul II and the Polish Church.
