The spiritual retreat has been throughout the history of the Church a privileged space of
encounter between God and man. God seduces the human being and takes him to the desert
to speak to the heart. The dessert fathers were the first to live in depth this enriching
spiritual experience, which centuries later the Church institutionalized through the spiritual
exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
This work analyzes the theological foundation of of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the
conversion retreat of Marian Love Ties and the retreat of Emmaus, deepening their
theology and spiritual vitality. Finally, it approaches a model of Augustinian conversion
retreat starting from the theology and spiritual life of who is for the Church a perennial
model of conversion.
