Answer 2

The Spiritual Exercises were written by the Spanish theologian St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of religious men. St. Ignatius wrote this set of prayers, meditations, and contemplative practices for the members of his order, the Jesuits, to be completed in stages in the course of four weeks, but the increasing interest in the spirituality of St. Ignatius has led many lay people to practice them as well. One of the most interesting practices in the Exercises, which are in part aimed at bringing people to a personal encounter with Jesus, is the so-called "composition of place," which encourages people to engage with all their senses in the subject of their meditation, to place themselves in the actual scene - be it the Last Supper or Jesus' resurrection, for instance.

The Spiritual Exercises were first published in 1548.
