Saint Ignatius of Loyola, born December 24, 1491, was a Spanish soldier who founded the Society of Jesus in 1540. After a severe battle injury in 1521, he converted during his recovery, inspired by reading the lives of Christ and saints. He received papal approval for the Society of Jesus, known for its 'fourth vow' of obedience to the Pope. Ignatius, who died on July 31, 1556, is the patron of soldiers, retreats, and spiritual exercises. His motto was 'Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam' (For the greater glory of God).
