In Discovering Ignatius, Jim Kennedy, SJ will explore the life of Saint Ignatius, Catholic saint and founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). 500 years ago, Inigo de Loyola was struck in the legs by a cannonball, which began his journey from swashbuckling man of the world to the pilgrim mystic who composed the Spiritual Exercises, a classic work of Christian Spirituality.
I gave this talk to a faculty/staff retreat at Marquette High on February 3rd, 2022. I recap the life of Ignatius and then discuss a number of insights gained from the life of Ignatius and from my conversations in the various episodes of the podcast. Key themes are the Ignatian quest, Ignatius's relationship to his own past, and ways Ignatius changed after his conversion.
