📖 From Soldier to Saint
St. Ignatius of Loyola wasn’t always a saint. Before his conversion, he was a soldier who dreamed of fame, honor, and military glory.
Everything changed when he was seriously wounded in battle. During his recovery, he read about the life of Jesus Christ and the saints. Those pages awakened a desire for something greater than earthly success—they led him to a life completely devoted to God.
His story reminds us that our greatest setbacks can become the beginning of our greatest purpose when we place our lives in God’s hands.
Reflection:
What difficulty in your life could God be using to draw you closer to Him?
St. Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us. 🙏
