SAINT IGNATIUS LOYOLA by F. A. FORBES

Description

Young Ignatius had bravely borne the pain of a primitive operation but during his recovery he faced boredom.  He asked for books to read and one of them was a Life of Christ. The heart of the brave but worldly soldier was soon to be touched by grace. Once recuperated, he abandoned his military career and went in search of holiness and learning. In the following years Ignatius would found the Jesuit order of priests. He also wrote his famous SPIRITUAL EXCERCISES, tended the sick and helped the Church recover from the Protestant Revolt. Paper.
