== From Ignatian retreat == Modern use of the word is often traced to St. Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises or retreat, where he would have the exercitant ask: "What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? and What ought I to do for Christ?" The more intimately the person comes to know Christ, according to St. Ignatius, the more the person will love him and the more closely the person will follow him. Throughout the Exercises, a grace the person asks for is to follow Christ more closely or to do what is more pleasing to God. This is frequently mentioned in the "points" for contemplating Christ's life which Ignatius proposes. Ignatius calls it the highest degree of humility for people to always want to be more like Christ in matters of poverty and worldly honors. Also, in what Ignatius calls the "First Principle and Foundation of the Christian life", he concludes with the admonition: "our one desire and choice should be what is more conducive to the end for which we are created". This concept of doing "more" occurs frequently throughout the Ignatian Exercises.
