166 Be a witness with your life – Life of St. Ignatius of Loyola

Today we take a look at the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. He wrote the “Spiritual Exercises”, and is the Master of the Spiritual Life for Miles Christi. He’s an example of a man who was very much immersed in a worldly lifestyle, but by the grace of God was converted, and went on to become a great saint. We also reflect on some of his most important spiritual teachings.
