The Life Of St Ignatius Loyola Classic Reprint

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 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.

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.

Excerpt from St. Ignatius Loyola and the Early Jesuits The appearance of the Commentarium de origine Soc. Jesu, by Simon Rodriguez; of the Memoirs of F. Manare, De Rebus Societatis Jesu Commentarius Oliverii Manaraei, Florence, 1886; of the Letters of St. Ignatius, Las Cartas de San Ignacio, Madrid, 1874-1889; of Pere Clair's elaborately illustrated and annotated Vie de S. Ignace, Paris, 1890, have given materials for a work which may be called a new life. The illustrations are from the pencils of Mr. Wain and of Messrs. H. W. and H. C. Brewer. It has been the wish of the author to reproduce, as far as possible, the surroundings of the story as they were in the days of the Saint. The authorities for these restorations, which have been the subject of most painstaking study, are given in the Appendix. The Bollandist Fathers have kindly put at the disposal of the author the copperplates which illustrate the life of St. Ignatius in their great work.
