Saint Ignatius, Confessor (31 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola (July 31), Dom Prosper Guéranger reflects on one of the greatest saints in Church history. This inspiring meditation explores how God raised up St. Ignatius during one of the darkest periods in Christendom, as Martin Luther's revolt spread throughout Europe. Discover the remarkable conversion of the wounded Spanish soldier who exchanged earthly glory for the service of Christ, founded the Society of Jesus, composed the Spiritual Exercises, and became one of the greatest defenders of the Catholic Faith. This reading from The Liturgical Year reveals how Divine Providence prepared St. Ignatius to renew the Church, spread the Gospel throughout the world, educate generations of Catholics, and inspire countless saints.
