My grandfather kept a small wooden cross above his bed his entire adult life. When he died, we found a note tucked behind it that none of us had ever seen — just a few lines, in his handwriting, that said he was not sure what he believed anymore but that he kept coming back to Easter because he could not explain it away.

It seems the essence of the spirituality of our founder and of our Society is the inseparable unity of the devotion of the Divine Word and the Holy Spirit. It was a sacred family inheritance. Our founder developed it further. Father and Son breathe the Holy Spirit. The Logos becomes the Incarnate Word by the power of the Holy Spirit. Christ preaches and offers himself up on the cross by the power of the Holy Spirit. By his death the Lord merits and gives us the Holy Spirit.

This book presents a practical guide for a “retreat in everyday life” centered on walking with Jesus, the Divine Word. Inspired by the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the missionary charism of the Arnoldus Family (especially the Society of the Divine Word), it proposes a structured path of spiritual renewal that can be lived within ordinary daily responsibilities. The program unfolds over several weeks and invites participants to deepen their relationship with Christ through daily prayer, meditation on Scripture, reflection on personal experience, and communal sharing. It encourages attentive listening to God’s Word, discernment in daily life, and a gradual integration of prayer with mission and service. The book offers practical tools for this journey: guidance for Scripture meditation (including lectio divina), daily examination of life, desert days for deeper silence, and methods for spiritual reflection and evaluation. It also highlights the importance of community support and apostolic commitment as fruits of authentic prayer. Ultimately, the text aims to help believers experience renewal by allowing the Word of God to illuminate everyday life, leading to a deeper union with Christ and a more conscious participation in God’s mission in the world.
