Emerging from the grace-filled experience of a thirty-week Ignatian retreat directed by Fr. Prince Charles, SJ, this volume is intended as a spiritual companion for those earnestly seeking deeper union with God. Grounded in the enduring tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, it provides daily meditations, scriptural passages, and theological reflections designed to foster the interior life and to cultivate a personal encounter with the divine through disciplined prayer and contemplation. For the discerning heart, this work aspires to serve both as a testament to grace and as a guide for those desiring to walk more intimately with Christ.

Mr. Thomas Balan (b.1937) was born in Chennai as one of ten children. He earned his Master’s degree in Economics and went on to serve for more than four decades in the insurance industry in India and abroad, retiring as General Manager of the India International Insurance Company, Singapore. Following his retirement, he undertook consultancy assignments in India and abroad.

In 2017, together with his wife Sabina, he began a pilgrimage of spiritual renewal, visiting over 448 shrines and holy sites worldwide. After completing a thirty-week Ignatian retreat under the guidance of Rev. Fr. Prince Clarence, SJ, he was inspired to share his spiritual insights with others, offering them as a source of encouragement and grace.
