Born in 1491, Ignatius's early ambition was to be a knight, in
imitation of the heroes he read about in the popular romances of
the day. Following his dramatic conversion, his plans changed
radically, and he decided to renounce all his previous hopes and
become a penniless beggar. Living a life of intense prayer and
penance, he received extraordinary mystical graces, experiencing
the reality of God, not only in the depths of his heart but also in
the concrete world around him. Sought by many people for his
wisdom, he became an outstanding spiritual guide and the author of
one of the great introductions to Christian living, The Spiritual
Exercises. 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 shared his vision. That small
group quickly attracted more recruits and, with papal approval,
became the Society of Jesus, more commonly known as the Jesuits.
Initially ambitious for his own glory and honour, Ignatius worked
only for 'the greater glory of God', becoming the inspirational
founder of one of the Church's most influential religious orders.
