St. Ignatius Loyola

St. Ignatius of Loyola, born in 1491 in Spain, was a soldier who transformed into the founder of the Jesuit order in 1540, which continues to operate under the motto 'Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.' He experienced severe physical suffering due to multiple surgeries that did not fully heal his leg, yet this pain led to his spiritual conversion through reading religious texts and having a vision of Mary and Jesus. After a failed missionary journey to the Holy Land, he pursued formal education to enhance his ability to spread his message.

During these surgeries Loyola never uttered a word and the only sign of his pain were his clenched fists (Caraman, 25–26). During his recovery from these surgeries he read Life of Christ and Flos Sanctorum; the first being about Christ's life and teachings and the second being a recounting of the lives of the saints. These books were the original catalyst to his conversion away from nobility and into the life of a holy man. (Pavur, 217) Along with reading these books Loyola had a vision of Mary holding a baby Jesus. After seeing this vision Loyola loathed all of his previous sins and rejected any lustful thoughts of his. (Pollen, St. Ignatius) After Loyola's conversion and recovery in 1523, he decided to take a missionary journey to the Holy Land. Shortly after his arrival his health took a turn for the worse and was forced to return home.
