In his six-part series, Reimagining the Spiritual Exercises as Transforming Friendship, Trevor Hudson reflects on the Spiritual Exercises through the lens of Transforming Friendship.
In Part 04 of the series, Trevor introduces the theme of mutuality as a critical ingredient of any maturing friendship, and reflects on how this ingredient occurs within both human and divine friendship.
He writes, “On the one hand, the flow of the Spiritual Exercises has much in common with the flow of how significant human friendships grow. On the other hand, our engagement with the Spiritual Exercises themselves draws us into an ever-deepening transforming friendship with Jesus Christ, and the God whom he reveals. As I reflect on my experience of accompanying others through the Spiritual Exercises, I have repeatedly witnessed how this occurs.”
