This contribution deals with ignatian spiritual exercises from a health-centred perspective. The work will help us to define spirituality on the basis of this spiritual current. We are also proposing to open up a new dimension for a spirituality that for centuries has been concerned with healing souls, and to verify its impact on physical healing. So is there a link between the two forms of healing? Similarly, this work will define the links and limits between spiritual care and other disciplines, whether medical, technical or psychological. Based on the 'four weeks' of spiritual exercises, we hope to present a model that makes it easier to provide spiritual care for the sick. A model that is valid for all patients, regardless of their religious affiliation or personal beliefs (philosophical, social, psychological, environmental, etc.). In addition, this work will contribute to the field of pastoral health care through its response to the meaning of life, personal freedom and alienation, autonomy in crisis, and transcendence as a dynamic of hope and openness.
