Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This account of the life of St. Ignatius, dictated by himself, is
considered the most valuable record of the great Founder of the
Society of Jesus. It gives an insight into the spiritual life of
St. Ignatius detailing his conversion, his trials, the obstacles in
his way, the heroism with which he accomplished his great mission.
Few works in ascetical literature impart such a knowledge of the
soul.
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius remain an abiding source of
inspiration and wisdom for Christians in the modern day who wish to
be closer oriented to God and his Kingdom. Ignatius of Loyola was
initially a Spanish page in service of a knight, who later became a
knight himself. Ambitious and eager for fame and glory, Loyola was
gravely injured when a cannonball collided with his legs, leaving
his left leg multiple fractures. The surgery of the time was crude;
he would walk again, but with a permanent, pronounced limp. As he
lay convalescing, Loyola experienced a series of visions. Being as
the hospitals of the era were run by religious orders he spent
weeks bedridden, reading the many texts concerning Jesus Christ and
the saints. This experience buoyed and inspired Loyola to lead his
life in the same fashion as the heroic saints; living to spread the
holy word and undertake great pilgrimages.
