KNOW ABOUT "IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA": THE FIRST SUPERIOR GENERAL OF THE JESUITS (FEAST DAY)

This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Ignatius of Loyola was a Spanish priest and theologian, who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and became its first Superior General. He is one of the most influential figures in the Counter-Reformation, and his legacy continues to this day through the work of the Jesuits in education, missionary work, and social justice.

Ignatius was born into a Basque noble family in 1491. As a young man, he pursued a career as a soldier, but was seriously injured in battle in 1521. During his convalescence, he experienced a profound religious conversion. After a period of spiritual discernment, Ignatius decided to devote his life to God.

Ignatius spent the next several years studying theology and philosophy. In 1534, he and six companions founded the Society of Jesus, a religious order dedicated to serving the Church. The Jesuits quickly gained a reputation for their zeal, discipline, and intellectual rigor.
