Five hundred years ago, St. Ignatius of Loyola experienced an event that would change the course of his life. As a young man, Ignatius joined the Spanish Army with the aspiration of glory. During a battle in Pamplona, Spain Ignatius was gravely injured by a cannonball to his leg. While in his time of recovery, Ignatius experienced a spiritual conversion that inspired him to lead a new life of holiness. After this conversion Ignatius had a new sense of purpose to share and set out to establish the Society of Jesus, know as the Jesuits.
