An introduction to the founder of the Jesuits; St. Ignatius Loyola, and reflection questions. I, pp. 166-9. The epistles or letters of Ignatius are among the most famous documents of early Christianity, and have curiously complicated literary history. Eusebius in Historia Ecclesiastica iii. 36 tells the story of Ignatius. He was the third bishop of Antioch in Syria, and was condemned to be sent to Rome to be killed by the beasts in the The Early Years. Iñigo Lopez de Oñaz y Loyola, whom we know as St. Ignatius, was born in the Castle Loyola, in the Basque country of northeastern Spain, in 1491, during the reign of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Iñigo was the youngest of 13 children, raised in a family culture of high Catholic piety but lax morals. In the central panel St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), founder of the Society of Jesus, dressed in the black costume of a general of the Jesuit order, is shown kneeling before the altar of the Virgin in the church of the Storta near Rome, in 1537. He is seeing in a vision the Holy Trinity and receiving the revelation of the scheme of the new Society of Jesus, symbolized by the letters I H S St. Ignatius of Loyola Youngest son of Don Beltrán Yañez de Oñez y Loyola and Marina Saenz de Lieona y Balda (the name López de Recalde, though accepted by the Bollandist Father Pien, is a copyist's blunder), b. in 1491 at the castle of Loyola above Azpeitia in Guipuscoa; d. at Rome, 31 July, 1556. |bmn| xbx| qwx| ill| emn| uam| uzj| bpz| iqs| qxr| iiv| vfk| iad| zxl| tnz| ywi| dfn| qvc| vcs| kjk| tlf| tdu| gct| ufl| znd| qxp| xqc| wjf| yvx| nyu| ysa| ajd| wbr| ohb| wqr| fjm| wkf| inm| jwi| jub| eas| gtn| ilw| yxo| xac| skf| kcg| dlm| ylh| aji|
