“But some most worthless persons are in the habit of carrying about the name of Jesus Christ in wicked guile, while yet they practice things unworthy of God, and hold opinions contrary to the doctrine of Christ, to their own destruction, and that of those who give credit to them, whom you must avoid as ye would wild beasts.”

Ignatius of Loyola
Ignatius of Loyola, born on October 23, 1491, and died on July 31, 1556, was a renowned hermit and the founder of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits. After a career as a soldier, he experienced a profound spiritual conversion following a battle injury. He founded the Jesuits, an order dedicated to educating well-rounded priests, and established a rigorous rule of life for the order. Ignatius's spiritual exercises have had a lasting impact on the lives of many, and he is revered as a saint and patron of the Catholic Church. more
