Founder of the Jesuits, St Ignatius Loyola

“For over 450 years Jesuit priests and brothers have lived an amazing story of serving the Church in new and unexpected ways. We are still men on the move, ready to change place, occupation, method — whatever will advance our mission in the Church. We are expected to do anything or go anywhere to teach Jesus Christ and preach his Good News.” From the Canadian Jesuit  website at jesuits.ca Explore the life of St. Ignatius at https://carfleo.com/2016/07/31/st-ignatius-loyola-2/

Ignatian spirituality reminds us that God pursues us in the routines of our home and work life, and in the hopes and fears of life’s challenges. The founder of the Jesuits, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, created the Spiritual Exercises to deepen our relationship with Christ and to move our contemplation into service.
