In a letter written to John of Verdolay, St. Ignatius refers to the group of his first companions in these words: “From Paris, in mid-January, nine friends of mine in the Lord arrived here, all masters of the arts and well versed in theology, four of them Spanish, two French, two from Savoy and one from Portugal”. Friendship has been a founding principle of the Society of Jesus from the beginning. But it’s not just any friendship, it’s a friendship in the Lord, as explained in this video.
