Like Marquette, Ignatius Loyola was another man who has many hopes and dreams that he worked extremely hard to achieve. Though he did not start off a believer, a tragic event happened in his life that led him to God. One hope that he had as a believer was to have his first mass be at a location that was meaningful to Jesus. At first he had his mind set on having in in Jerusalem, the birthplace of Jesus. He did his best to wait until a ship could take him to Jerusalem until he realized this would no longer be an option. Being a practical and understanding man he decided that his first mass should be at the St. Mary Major in the Chapel of the Manger on Christmas morning. This was his best substitute (4). It was at this point that he showed his sensibility, and it was in this way that he was able to fulfill his dream of having mass at a significant place in Jesus’ life. Another interesting goal he had was to leave his old life and to convert completely. In order to complete this goal he needed to go to church and confess his sins. With that accomplished he also dressed in simple clothing and from then on lived a faithful Jesuit lifestyle. He knew what he had to do to convert completely and he took the necessary steps in order to do so. His dedication to his faith is shown in this moment. Another goal for him was to be able to teach and spread his faith. To make that possible he put much dedication and hard work into forming a group that would travel and follow a spiritual leader who would direct them on the places they should go to address issues of “poverty, chastity, and obedience” (4). The leader elected was Ignatius himself. Thus by being a role model and a leader he was able to make a significant difference in the Jesuit community. The group grew to a substantial number, the success being mainly attributed to Ignatius who spent much time writing letters to other Jesuits in spreading his message. While at the beginning one of Ignatius’ main goals was not the spreading of education, by the end he contributed a lot of time and energy into this effort. He found that by encouraging education that more of the Jesuit leaders as well as members would become more amiable and intelligent people. With education, the members could be more productive in society. While first limited to young Jesuits, he later expanded the acceptance to many other people and eventually he started to open several schools that proved to be extremely successful. By sacrificing working amongst the poor and in hospitals he was able to make a huge difference amongst the Jesuit community and his work seemed to prove to be very effective and necessary. Someone from my own personal experience who reminds me of Ignatius Loyola is my old high school head of English department teacher. Though he wanted to take on a lot more classes than he was able to, he stepped back in order to manage a lot of the teachers and the system so that the students got the best education that they could get.
