She died at just 31 years old and was canonised in 1671.

May Christ's light guide your heart today and always. 🙏

Today, we celebrate the Feast of 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐨𝐥𝐚, founder of the Society of Jesus (𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐬).

Born into a noble family at Loyola in Spain, St. Ignatius was gravely wounded in battle in 1521. During his long recovery, he experienced a profound conversion that changed the course of his life. Inspired by a vision of the 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐲, he made a pilgrimage to her shrine at Montserrat and dedicated himself to serving God.

Later, while studying at the University of Paris, he met 𝐒𝐭. 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫, who would become one of the first companions in founding the Society of Jesus and, like Ignatius, would later be canonised.

St. Ignatius was beatified in 1609 and canonised in 1622. He is the 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬.

𝐒𝐭. 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐨𝐥𝐚, 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬.🙏
