GARCIA DE CASTRO VALDES, José. Silent God in a Wordy World. Silence in Ignatian Spirituality. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2016, vol.66, n.181, pp.177-205. ISSN 0120-3649.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx66-181.sgwwsis.

The Society of Jesus is an apostolic religious order involved in many different activities and missions. Jesuits live far away from monasteries and strict contemplative life. Nevertheless, one of the most well-known peculiarities of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises is that a complete and absolute silence is required during the time of the retreat. Where and how should we place "silence" in the life of an Ignatian spiritual and mystical experience?

Keywords : Action; Ignatius of Loyola; Ignatian Mysticism; Retreat; Silence; Spiritual Exercises.
