THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ST IGNATIUS - J F X O CONO...

This account of the life of St. Ignatius  dictated by himself  is considered by the Bollandists
the most valuable record of the great Founder of the Society of Jesus. The editors of the
Stimmen Aus Maria Laach  the German review  as well as those of the English magazine  The Month
tell us that it  more than any other work  gives an insight into the spiritual life of St.
Ignatius. Few works in ascetical literature  except the writings of St. Teresa and St.
Augustine  impart such a knowledge of the soul. To understand fully the Spiritual Exercises  we
should know something of the man who wrote them. In this life of St. Ignatius  told in his own
words  we acquire an intimate knowledge of the author of the Exercises. We discern the Saint's
natural disposition  which was the foundation of his spiritual character. We learn of his
conversion  his trials  the obstacles in his way  the heroism with which he accomplished his
great mission. This autobiography of St. Ignatius is the groundwork of all the great lives of
him that have been written. [...] This autobiography is a reprint of the originally published
book from 1900.
