St. Ignatius of Loyola

The first Jesuit!

About Me

I started life as a soldier but was wounded in combat. The only books available to read in the hospital were a Life of Christ and some on the lives of the Saints before me. Whence Truth led me to recognize my greater joy in thoughts of the Holy deeds of Saints, than in dreams of combat and glory. I regained my strength and became a soldier for Christ! I then went on to become the founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits).

My Interests

Keeping hearts on fire for Christ!

I'd like to meet:

Join the circle of Saints.

Books:

The Bible, The Catechism of the Catholic Church, The Spiritual Exercises

Heroes:

Christ Jesus, the Lord and Savior of the world.
