Saint Ignatius Of Loyola Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Saint Ignatius of Loyola Exercises, the Constitutions, and especially the Letters. When I have had recourse to other sources I have been careful to acknowledge them. This book has been written with perfect freedom. If it is not found to contain many concessions to inveterate suspicion and bias it is because nothing is more calculated to destroy a host of prejudices than prolonged intercourse with a man above the common. There are some legends which belittle human nature, just as there are others which hide it from view under improbable marvels. It is an understood thing that the aim of this Series is to refute those contradictions of exact truth which have been propagated by both classes.

Excerpt from The Life of St. Ignatius Loyola The grey morning was breaking mistily over the little town of Pamplona in Navarre. To many of those within the citadel it seemed as if the greyness of the morning had found its way into their very hearts, so unpromising was the outlook that lay before them. The little garrison had been weakened by the retreat of many of the Spanish officers their fortifications were incomplete; ammunition was scarce; and encamped at their very gates lay the French army. The attack might begin at any moment, and unless the expected reinforcements arrived, nothing could save the citadel.'

Excerpt from The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola The Exercises were offered for ecclesiastical censure at Rome. The text submitted was not, however, the one which is here reproduced, but two Latin translations, one in more polished Latin - since called the Fulgate Version - and one a literal rendering. The opinions expressed on these versions, as also the formal approval of Paul III, are given here, as applying quite entirely to the text from which the translations were made. Vulgate Version We have read everything compiled in the volume: it has greatly pleased us and seemed remarkably conducive to the salvation of souls. The Cardinal of Burgos We grant leave to print the work; it is worthy of all praise and very profitable to the Christian profession. Philip, Vicar. Such holy Exercises cannot but afford the greatest profit to any one who studies them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

One of the key figures in Christian history, St. Ignatius of Loyola (c. 1491-1556) was a passionate and unique spiritual thinker and visionary. The works gathered here provide a first-hand, personal introduction to this remarkable character: a man who turned away from the Spanish nobility to create the revolutionary Jesuit Order, inspired by the desire to help people follow Christ. His Reminiscences describe his early life, his religious conversion following near-paralysis in battle, and his spiritual and physical ordeals as he struggled to assist those in need, including plague, persecution and imprisonment. The Spiritual Exercises offer guidelines to those seeking the will of God, and the Spiritual Diary shows Ignatius in daily mystical contact with God during a personal strugg;e. The Letters collected here provide an insight into Ignatius' ceaseless campaign to assist those seeking enlightenment and to direct the young Society of Jesus.

The life of a saint in their own words. This is a translated transcript of Saint Ignatius' own description of his life and spiritual battles. Ignatius was raised by the wife of a blacksmith, eventually becoming a knight. After being injured in battle he was inspired by stories of saints to dedicate himself to his religion and eventually became an influential religious figure. He is famous for his Spiritual Exercises, which aim to bring the practitioner closer to the divine through four "weeks" of work, but perhaps more so for founding the Jesuit order. These are not the topics of the autobiography however, as ever humble Ignatius is more concerned with examining his own spiritual (rather than material) battles and conversion.
