Rev. Daniel P. Jamros, SJ, professor emeritus of Religious Studies and Theology, served as a translator for the new book The Moment is for Me: An Ignatian Guide to Prayer. Authored by Rev. Christof Wolf, SJ, the book offers a version of the Spiritual Exercises for “people who would like to make the Exercises by themselves in their daily lives,” explains Rev. Jamros.
Rev. Wolf originally published The Moment is for Me in German. Upon deciding to publish the book in English, he reached out to Rev. Jamros to assist with the translation from German to English.
The retreat experience outlined in The Moment is for Me follows four classical Ignatian themes: Principle and Foundation, the Life of Jesus, the Passion of Jesus and the Resurrection of Jesus.
