The Ignatian tradition sprang up in the sixteenth century, the
fruit of graces bestowed on a Basque nobleman, Ignatius of Loyola.
Guided by a passion to find God in all things, Ignatius and his
first companions founded the Society of Jesus and inspired many
other religious orders and lay movements. Their influence spread
across the globe even as they embraced various aspects of the
cultures, languages, and institutions they encountered.
This introduction is a mere sampling of the men and women
influenced by Ignatius 'draws on the stories and writings of
nineteen exemplary individuals as well as the corporate voice of
the Jesuit order. Here we meet missionaries, scholars, artists,
advocates, and martyrs. Contemplatives in action, they follow
Christ by serving others. They embody the freedom born of a
passionate knowledge of God's unending, unconditional love;
precisely in this, they show us how to live well today.
