Who is St. Ignatius of Loyola?
St. Ignatius of Loyola, born in 1491 in Spain, led a transformative life that left a lasting impact on Christianity. Initially an ambitious soldier seeking glory, a severe injury prompted a profound spiritual awakening during his recovery. Immersed in religious texts and inspired by the lives of saints, he underwent a radical conversion, dedicating his life to God and the service of the Church. Ignatius’ development of the “Spiritual Exercises” and the founding of the Society of Jesus showcased his commitment to education, missionary work, and social justice. Canonized as a saint in 1622, St. Ignatius remains an inspiration for countless individuals seeking lives of service, compassion, and profound devotion to God.
