Today is the Memorial of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits know for writing the Spiritual Exercises that form the basis of Ignatian Spirituality. In New Orleans, the Jesuits have a long legacy of ministry that have positively impacted the lives of countless citizens, bringing them closer to Christ. The motto – Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam” is a Latin phrase meaning “For the greater glory of God” and is an example of how we can live our lives as lifelong disciples.
