“Teach us, Good Lord, to give and not count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do thy will.”

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
