Ignazio di Loyola
Ignazio di Loyola (1491-1556) was a Spanish priest and theologian who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), a religious order known for its educational, missionary, and charitable works. After a transformative spiritual experience during his convalescence from a battle injury, he dedicated his life to serving God. His spiritual teachings, particularly in the 'Spiritual Exercises,' emphasize discernment and the importance of finding God in all things. Loyola's influence extended beyond the Church, shaping Western education and spirituality. He was canonized as a saint in 1622.
