IGNATIUS LOYOLA, born in 1491, was the last child of a large Basque family in Spain. The name loyola came from the ancestral castle that was the family heritage. Ignatius was trained in arms and the etiquette of court life. He enlisted himself in the border wars with France and was badly wounded in a battle in 1521. As he lay convalescing at Loyola, he followed Christ by giving up all worldly ambitions and trappings of power and embracing a life of poverty, sacrifice and service after the example of his mentors.
