St. Ignatius’ path of conversion was not always easy or linear. During his time in Manresa an obsession with his past life caused him great suffering, since he couldn’t integrate it into his new project of holiness. He still relied too much on his own strength. However, everything changed when he stopped looking at himself and began to look at Jesus Christ. Then he felt that He was holding out a loving hand, and that only by holding on to it could he go on the pilgrimage he had begun.
