But his path was strewn with obstacles: he had great difficulty following the necessary studies, particularly in Latin. He was criticised for his lack of intelligence. However, his piety, determination and humility finally convinced his teachers. He was ordained a priest in 1815, at the age of 29. Read more...

The story of Saint Ignatius of Loyola

A knight wounded in his prideIgnatius of Loyola was born in 1491 into a noble family in the Spanish Basque country. Initially a knight at court, he dreamt of glory, battles and exploits. But in 1521, during the siege of Pamplona, he was seriously wounded in the leg by a cannonball. Bedridden for many months, he suffered not only physical pain, but also a profound inner reappraisal.To pass the time, Ignatius asked for chivalric novels. But failing that, he is given a Life of Christ and Lives of Saints to read. Little by little, a transformation takes place: he discovers another form of heroism that of the saints and understands that the real battle is fought in the soul, not on the battlefield. He then decides to convert, to renounce the vanity of the world, and to follow Christ. Read more...

The story of Saint Martha

A close friend of JesusSt Martha is a central figure in the Gospels. She lives in Bethany, a village near Jerusalem, with her sister Mary and her brother Lazarus. This family was close to Christ: Jesus was received there with affection, and he loved to stay there, finding rest, welcome and privacy in their home.Marthe appears in several Gospel scenes. The best known is in the Gospel according to Saint Luke: Jesus comes to their home, and Martha busies herself with domestic chores while Mary, her sister, remains seated at the Master's feet to listen to him. Martha, annoyed, asked Jesus to intervene. He gently replies:"Martha, Martha, you worry and fuss about many things... Only one is necessary." (Lk 10:41-42)This word is not a harsh criticism, but an invitation to balance. Martha, a woman of service, is precious, but Jesus reminds her of the importance of listening, of contemplation, of being beyond doing. Read more...

A doctor at the heart of the faithSaint Pantaleon was born in Nicomedia (now Turkey) at the end of the 3rd century, into a noble family. His name means "all compassionate". His father, Eustorgius, was a pagan, but his mother, Eubulus, was a Christian. She died when he was still young, and he was brought up in the pagan faith. Gifted in the sciences, he studied medicine with one of the most famous physicians of the time and soon became a respected practitioner at the court of the Emperor Maximian.His life was turned upside down when he met a Christian priest, Hermolaos. The latter introduced him to Christianity and invited him to reflect on the power of Christ in the art of healing. Pantaleon began to heal not only through his medical skills, but also through prayer. One day, he healed a blind man in the name of Jesus. This miracle confirmed his faith: he asked to be baptised and devoted his life to serving the sick, free of charge. Read more...
