One quality
that characterised the life of St. Ignatius above all others was his deep
personal life for the person of Jesus Christ. Ignatius was so taken up with
Christ that he was willing to do anything, go anywhere, and be anyone as long
as he could imitate Christ.
In our world that prizes prestige, power and
self-sufficiency, to preach Christ poor and humble, with fidelity and courage
is not easy. Yet we have to move forward resolutely out of our desire to
resemble and imitate in some manner our Creator and Lord Jesus Christ. This
personal love for Jesus must characterise every Christian’s life.
Through the intercession of St. Ignatius we pray
for the grace that we too might have this deep personal love for Jesus Christ,
so that through our words and actions we might always reveal him to everyone we
come in contact with.
