About Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola was a Basque soldier whose long recovery from a battle wound began a deep conversion. Through prayerful attention to inner movements, study, pilgrimage, and companionship, he developed the Spiritual Exercises and helped found the Society of Jesus. His spirituality seeks God in all things and directs every gift toward God’s greater glory.
