This article takes the “Call of the King” meditation in St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises as its central focus and examines its significance for Christian identity formation and spiritual life within the context of con-temporary society. It begins by analyzing the crisis of identity brought about by postmodern individualism, consumer culture, and the decline of collec-tive ideals, arguing that modern individuals increasingly struggle to form stable life commitments oriented toward an ultimate horizon of meaning. Through an examination of the text of the Spiritual Exercises and relevant scholarship in Ignatian studies, the article demonstrates that the “Call of the King” is not primarily a summons to a particular status, role, or office, but rather an invitation issued by the risen Christ, calling individuals into a rela-tionship with him and participation in his mission. Drawing upon both theo-logical and psychological perspectives, the study further explores the dy-namic structure of call and response and its relationship to the formation of personal identity. It argues that the identification fostered by the “Call of the King” is not a form of religious projection grounded in “imaginary identifi-cation”, but rather a “symbolic identification” centered on responding to Christ’s mission. Such identification enables individuals to transcend the framework of self-realization and, through the Christic process of the imita-tion of Christ, to attain a more mature and integrated identity.
