This man, courtier and gentleman, solider and campaigner, student and teacher, ascetic and mystic was Ignatius Loyala. He was a Spanish noble man who while convalescing from a wound received in battle, began to reflect on the aimlessness of his life when compared to the ideals discovered in his reading of the lives of Christ and his saints, the only books available to him in his enforced idleness. As a result, he became filled with the desire of seeking both his own Christian perfection and that of his neighbours1 | | Keywords : | | - THE SOCIETY.............,
