Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Born in 1491, Ignatiuss early ambition was to be a knight, in imitation of the heroes he read about in the popular romances of the day. Following his dramatic conversion, his plans changed radically, and he decided to renounce all his previous hopes and become a penniless beggar. Living a life of intense prayer and penance, he received extraordinary mystical graces, experiencing the reality of God, not only in the depths of his heart but also in the concrete world around him. Sought by many people for his wisdom, he became an outstanding spiritual guide and the author of one of the great introductions to Christian living, The Spiritual Exercises. As he moved into mid-life, he became a committed student in the University of Paris, where he gathered a small group of enthusiastic followers around him who shared his vision. That small group quickly attracted more recruits and, with papal approval, became the Society of Jesus, more commonly known as the Jesuits. Initially ambitious for his own glory and honour, Ignatius worked only for the greater glory of God, becoming the inspirational founder of one of the Churchs most influential religious orders.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A short but fascinating biography of this most courageous and adventurous of saints. One of Ignatius of Loyola's original companions, St Francis was central to the formation of the Society of Jesus. Quoting extensively from his letters, the author describes in detail the works he did throughout Europe in the 1530s. There are many stories and anecdotes which bring Xavier to life and we begin to feel we know him well as we learn about his personality, his interactions with the poor, priests, bishops and kings. On April 7th, 1541, Xavier's thirty-fifth birthday, he set sail for India, arriving in Goa just over a year later. He spent about 8 years in both India and Indonesia, baptising thousands and working to set up churches and communities. In 1549 he arrived in Japan where he spent a couple of years, before travelling to China where he died in 1552 just six miles from the Chinese coast. This well researched account is readable and entertaining and give a lively picture of life as a missionary in the sixteenth century.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Pierre Favre (1506-1546), born in a village on the slopes of the Alps, didn't want to be a shepherd. Instead he took the long way round, and after several hundred years became a saint. He was for a time the most wanted man in Europe. The kings of Portugal and Spain and the nobility of Parma and Cologne fought for his counsel. The Vatican ordered him to Germany to save the souls of Reformers. Future saints, like Francis Borgia and Peter Canisius, sought him out as a spiritual director. Friends from his days as a student, Francis Xavier and Ignatius Loyola, called on him to help them build the Jesuits, a new religious order for the age of discovery. Yet for hundreds of years after Xavier and Loyola were canonised, Favre was only remembered by the small community of Villaret, the village where he was born. How did such a man, beloved by so many, fade from view Brendan Comerford SJ's new biography of Favre, By Way of the Heart, has an answer: Favre followed his heart. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he focused not on theology but on the 'affective' dimension: it is the heart that comes first, and the intellect later. Favre put people first. The people he changed, changed the world. But he was overlooked. By Way of the Heart is not just the story of Favre's many travels but is also a study of his heart: sensitive, discerning, gentle, obedient. He never gave up on anyone. He didn't rage against those who thought differently; he spoke directly to their hearts. Neither Martin Luther nor the king of England nor even the Ottoman emperor was lost to Favre. He prayed for them all. In 2013, the world finally recognised what the people of Villaret had known for generations: this man was a saint.…
