Autobiography of St. Ignatius by St. Ignatius Loyola.This account of the life of St. Ignatius, dictated by himself to Father Gonzalez, is a most valuable record of the great Founder of the Society of Jesus. It, more than any other work, gives an insight into the spiritual life of St. Ignatius. Many persons who have neither the time, nor, perhaps, the inclination, to read larger works, will read, we trust, with pleasure and profit this autobiography. Ignatius, as he lay wounded in his brother's house, read the lives of the saints to while away the time. Touched by grace, he cried, "What St. Francis and St. Dominic have done, that, by God's grace, I will do." This autobiography is a valuable key for the understanding of his Spiritual Exercises.Featured on John Knox.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
