The Pilgrim's Story: The Life & Spirituality of St Ignatius

A biography of St Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus, more commonly known as the Jesuits. Though he dreamed of becoming a knight, he later renounced this hope and become a penniless beggar, living a life of intense prayer and penance. As he moved into mid-life, he became a committed student in the University of Paris, where he gathered a small group of enthusiastic followers around him who, with papal approval, became the Society of Jesus.
