Ignatius Loyola: Saint at a Desk

by Jim Manney

After battle, vision, journey, and study experiences
Ignatius did God’s will in a heroic challenge:
He spent years doing administration duties.

Writing the Spiritual Exercises
Writing the Constitutions
Lobbying to get them approved

Organizing multiple ministries
Constantly writing letters of encouragement
Correction, advice to world-scattered  Jesuits

And all the time united in prayer
Finding God in all this
Becoming a saint at a desk!

Text and painting by James Hasse, SJ
