St. Ignatius Loyola’s early dreams of heroic glory as a soldier ended when he was wounded in battle. His convalescence started him on a personal journey exploring his purpose in life and the things that helped or prevented him from achieving it. He developed a personal relationship with God which transformed his own life and helped him to become one of the foremost teachers of prayer, helping people to discover how they can become their best, God-given selves.
