While St. Ignatius was recovering from his cannon ball injury, he wanted to read some chivalrous and romance novels. But the only two books available for him were a Life of Christ and the Lives of the Saints. As he read about the saints, he was attracted to their whole-hearted dedication to Christ and his mission. Then his competitive and imaginative spirit took over. “If St. Francis and St. Dominic could live such a dedicated
life and do such outstanding things, so can I.”

The saints, about whom St. Ignatius read, inspired him to follow Christ, to be more attentive to how Christ was leading him, and to live a life of service for others. So, beginning with the September Saturday with Ignatius, we will look at two saints in each session, a woman saint and a Jesuit saint. We will look at their lives, how faith undergirds their actions, and how they can inspire us to live more intentionally and
faithfully our Christian lives.

So, for us, through our conversation and reflection, the saints can deepen our faith so we will more generously love our brothers and sisters, be encouraged to live more intimately our relationship with Christ, and grow in an appreciation of the image of God in all men and women. As it states in the preface of the Mass for saints, they are our intercessors.  So, we can ask for their support and encouragement as we live our Christian lives.
