Continuing with the video series through which Young Jesuits Talk About Ignatius, here we share episode number 4 presented by Jeff Ryan Miraflor SJ. Sometimes we imagine conversion as a before and after, as a blink of an eye that makes us leave our past life behind and start again from a completely different place. With Ignatius, however, this wasn’t quite the case. It is true that the cannonball wound and his convalescence in Loyola made him discover God’s call for his life. However, he still needed some extra conversion time for that call to be realised according to God, and not according to Ignatius.

This video series is a contribution shared by the Jesuit Curia and Voces Esejota. All teachers in our global community are welcome to use these videos in their classrooms to discover together with their students, the life and spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
