| 167 | H9Xfnj | Ignatius Loyola: The Story of the Pilgrim | From Spanish soldier to soldier for Christ, from vain courtier to humble priest, from self-serving thrill-seeker to educator serving others, St. Ignatius of Loyola stands as a tremendous example of a life transformed by God's love. The saint's story presented here in a one-man dramatization by I. Michael Bellafiore, SJ, is a fascinating pilgrimage to God and illustrates what can happen when we allow God's grace to be at work in our lives. In three 30-minute segments, this play depicts Ignatius' youthful days of misconduct, his spiritual awakening during a lengthy convalescence, his growth experiences at Manresa, the gathering of companions in Paris, and his ministry in Rome. It also portrays how Ignatius founded the world's largest male religious order, the Jesuits, and formed the West's first schools principally for the education of the lay. The video's overarching message is that God cares for each of us personally and intimately, and that experiencing this love makes all the difference in one's life. Ages junior high and up.
