LOYOLA THE SOLDIER SAINT

Tells the moving story of a man known by many today as Saint Ignatius. He lived in the later 1400's and was a soldier of the Spanish Army before dedicating his life to the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is today heralded as founder of the order of Jesuit priesthood (also known as the Society of Jesus) in the Catholic Church. He compiled written works of spiritual exercises and meditations to affix one's mind solely upon Christ. Eventually he established a company of men with like passion to spread the Gospel to the world.
