Brought down by the blast of a cannonball, Captain Iñigo de Loyola underwent a radical conversion while healing from a bad leg wound. He gave up everything—his military career, wealth, and reputation—for Jesus, asking only for his love and grace in return. But giving up everything was not enough. The fire in his heart kept burning, urging him to create a new kind of army. A spiritual army. An army that is still active in the Church today as the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits.

Learn how Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) captained a new kind of religious community that would proclaim the Good News of Jesus across the world, and how his lessons on prayer continue to help people grow in relationship with God.
