Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola

Reflection

“Go forth and set the world on fire.” –St. Ignatius of Loyola

Prayer

Rejuvenating Spirit,

On this feast day devoted to St. Ignatius of Loyola, we remember the saint’s remarkable journey from wounded soldier to founder and leader of the Jesuit community. Give us a share in St. Ignatius’s spirit, that we might be even bolder in pursuing your will for our lives, personally and together as a ministry, striving to share your abundant life with all people—within our facilities and out in our communities. No matter what it is we’ve been given to do today, inspire us to “set the world on fire” with your message of hope and the promise of restoration. Amen.
