Mark Kurlansky calls him the most famous Basque in history, and I guess he would know. Anyway, this one talks about the life of Saint Ignatius, as well as his friend Francis Xavier, and about our modern lives of temptation and materialism. Is it time for some spiritual warfare? Probably. More on the blog: https://expatmadrid.com/ignatius-loyola/ Check out my friends and sponsors around the web as well.
