My favorite retreat was A Jesuit Retreat with Fr. Harold Gray, SJ. It served as an opportunity to make a private retreat with an engaging and interesting presenter. I also enjoyed the video on The Holy Land with Fr. Donald Senior, CP.

A fantastic introduction!
Fr. Gray’s coverage of this material is pithy and to the point. He carefully follows the Jesuit style of giving the listener one point to focus on during a given lesson, and builds on it beautifully. As the course unfolds, Fr. Gray develops the theme that our lives with God are pilgrimages, travels replete with inner discoveries. I have been blessed to have been spiritually formed by the Jesuits and Fr. Gray’s approach is marvelously resonant. It’s something of a homecoming, a renewal, and a tonic. For those new to the Jesuit approach, it is a fantastic introduction.
