Go forth and set the world on fire.
Ignatius of Loyola
Act as if everything depended on you; trust as if everything depended on God.
Ignatius of Loyola
Love is shown more in deeds than in words.
Ignatius of Loyola
To give, and not to count the cost to fight, and not to heed the wounds, to toil, and not to seek for rest, to labor, and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do thy will
Ignatius of Loyola
Satan, on the contrary, is thin, ascetic and a fanatical devotee of logic. He reads Machiavelli, Ignatius of Loyola, Marx and Hegel; he is cold and unmerciful to mankind, out of a kind of mathematical mercifulness. He is damned always to do that which is most repugnant to him: to become a slaughterer, in order to abolish slaughtering, to sacrifice lambs so that no more lambs may be slaughtered, to whip people with knouts so that they may learn not to let themselves be whipped, to strip himself of every scruple in the name of a higher scrupulousness, and to challenge the hatred of mankind because of his love for it--an abstract and geometric love.
Arthur Koestler (Darkness at Noon)
Laugh and grow strong
Ignatius of Loyola
He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.
Ignatius of Loyola
Teach us to give and not to count the cost.
Ignatius of Loyola
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
Ignatius of Loyola
Lord, teach me to be generous; Teach me to serve you as you deserve; To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil, and not to seek for rest; To labor, and not to ask for reward - except to know that I am doing your will.
Ignatius of Loyola
O my God, teach me to be generous to serve you as you deserve to be served to give without counting the cost to fight without fear of being wounded to work without seeking rest and to spend myself without expecting any reward but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will. Amen
Ignatius of Loyola
If our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy.
Ignatius of Loyola
For it is not knowing much, but realising and relishing things interiorly, that contents and satisfies the soul.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all I have and call my own. You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.
Ignatius of Loyola
If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity.
Ignatius of Loyola
God freely created us so that we might know, love, and serve him in this life and be happy with him forever. God's purpose in creating us is to draw forth from us a response of love and service here on earth, so that we may attain our goal of everlasting happiness with him in heaven. All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully. As a result, we ought to appreciate and use these gifts of God insofar as they help us toward our goal of loving service and union with God. But insofar as any created things hinder our progress toward our goal, we ought to let them go.
Ignatius of Loyola
What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.
Ignatius of Loyola
It is dangerous to make everybody go forward by the same road: and worse to measure others by oneself.
Ignatius of Loyola
O my God, teach me to be generous, teach me to serve you as I should, to give without counting the cost, to fight without fear of being wounded, to work without seeking rest, to labour without expecting any reward, but the knowledge that I am doing your most holy will.
Ignatius of Loyola
[L]ove ought to manifest itself in deeds rather than in words.... love consists in a mutual sharing of goods, for example, the lover gives and shares with the beloved what he possesses, or something of that which he has or is able to give; and vice versa, the beloved shares with the lover. Hence, if one has knowledge, he shares it with the one who does not possess it; and so also if one has honors, or riches. Thus, one always gives to the other.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
He learned by experience that one train of thought left him sad, the other joyful. This was his first reasoning on spiritual matters.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Autobiography of St. Ignatius)
After all, Ignatius of Loyola, a soldier who had killed and whored and made a thorough mess of his soul, said you could judge prayer worthwhile simply if you could act more decently, think more clearly afterward. As D.W. once told him, “Son, sometimes it’s enough just to act less like a shithead.
Mary Doria Russell (The Sparrow (The Sparrow, #1))
If God causes you to suffer much it is a sign that He has great designs for you and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity.
Ignatius of Loyola
Try to keep your soul always in peace and quiet, always ready for whatever our Lord may wish to work in you. It is certainly a higher virtue of the soul, and a greater grace, to be able to enjoy the Lord in different times and different places than in only one. —Ignatius of Loyola
Shauna Niequist (Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living)
Ite, inflammate omnia.
Ignatius of Loyola
Spain was not a lack of form, but an excess of form, death as form, so to speak—not death as dissolution, but death as something austere, black, elegant, and bloody, the Inquisition, starched ruffs, Loyola, the Escorial.
Thomas Mann (The Magic Mountain)
Even Ignatius Loyola wavered. That dark night of the soul, man. No one’s immune. It would all be meaningless if you didn’t wonder and doubt. That’s what makes it real. That’s what makes us people. God could have sent angels to flutter around like fairies, delivering rum punch and manna all day on a cosmic cruise ship. But what would that avail us?
Luis Alberto Urrea (The House of Broken Angels)
Lakše je ukoriti duh nego razoriti tijelo.
Ignatius of Loyola
Next it dawned on him that the former ideas were of the world, the latter God-sent; finally, worldly thoughts began to lose their hold, while heavenly ones grew clearer and dearer.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola)
Rabbi Isaac Luria was a faithful follower of Ignatius Loyola.8
David Livingstone (Terrorism and the Illuminati: A Three Thousand Year History)
If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society of (Ignatius de) Loyola.
John Adams
Teach us… To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil and not to seek for rest… —St. Ignatius Loyola
Dean Koontz (Brother Odd (Odd Thomas, #3))
I ran up the street. All the way to Largo da Camara. Got there very tired. Mad, rather than tired. Uninvited old man. Little shits. They'll see who's the uninvited old man, motherfuckers.
Ignácio de Loyola Brandão (Teeth under the Sun)
if it happens that the soul is attached or inclined to a thing inordinately, that one should move himself, putting forth all his strength, to come to the contrary of what he is wrongly drawn to.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola)
There are some people you just dislike, without even knowing why. You take one look at them and you just don’t like them. It’s not that they ever did anything to you, it’s just spontaneous antipathy, pure and simple.
Ignácio de Loyola Brandão (And Still the Earth)
Up to his twenty-sixth year the heart of Ignatius was enthralled by the vanities of the world. His special delight was in the military life, and he seemed led by a strong and empty desire of gaining for himself a great name.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Autobiography of St. Ignatius)
156. There is a sort of glory of silence. Saint Ignatius of Loyola did not hesitate to write in his Spiritual Exercises: “The more the soul is in solitude and seclusion, the more fit it renders itself to approach and be united with its Creator and Lord.
Robert Sarah (The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise)
I hadn’t wanted to get involved or to accept any personal responsibility….[so] that I would be ready to drop everything at any moment and flee. Ever since I was a [child] I’ve needed that feeling, that theoretical escape route. It never appealed to me to stay in the same place, making incessant renovations. What I wanted was to be disengaged, to escape from everything and live far away where no one could find me.
Ignácio de Loyola Brandão (And Still the Earth)
Todo buen cristiano ha de ser más pronto a salvar la proposición del prójimo que a condenarla; y, si no la puede salvar, inquira cómo la entiende; y, si mal la entiende, corríjale con amor; y, si no basta, busque todos los medios convenientes para que, bien entendiéndola, se salve.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Prayer of St. Ignatius Loyola Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve You as You deserve; to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labour and not to ask for reward save that of knowing I am doing Your Will.
Anonymous
I don't actually know what 'transgenic' means. I just know that I have to express doubt or repulsion whenever I say it. It impresses people.
Ignácio de Loyola Brandão (Anonymous Celebrity (Brazilian Literature))
Among some of the famous men educated by the Jesuits we find Bossuet, Corneille, Molière, Tasso, Fontenelle, Diderot, Voltaire, and Bourdaloue, himself a Jesuit.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Autobiography of St. Ignatius)
no el mucho saber harta y satisface al ánima, mas el sentir y gusta de las cosas internamente.
Ignatius of Loyola (Ejercicios espirituales (Religión) (Spanish Edition))
For though, outside the Exercises, we can lawfully and with merit influence every one who is probably fit to choose continence, virginity, the religious life and all manner of evangelical perfection, still in the Spiritual Exercises, when seeking the Divine Will, it is more fitting and much better, that the Creator and Lord Himself should communicate Himself to His devout soul, inflaming it with His love and praise, and disposing it for the way in which it will be better able to serve Him in future. So, he who is giving the Exercises should not turn or incline to one side or the other, but standing in the centre like a balance, leave the Creator to act immediately with the creature, and the creature with its Creator and Lord.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Lord, take as your right, and receive as my gift, all my freedom, my memory, my understanding and my will. Whatever I am and whatever I possess, you have given it to me; I restore it all to you again, to be at your disposal, according to your will. Give me only a love for you, and the gift of your grace; then I am rich enough, and ask for nothing more. —St. Ignatius of Loyola
Richard J. Foster (Year with God: Living Out the Spiritual Disciplines)
1. Ask God for light. I want to look at my day with God's eyes, not merely my own. 2. Give thanks. The day I have just lived is a gift from God. Be grateful for it. 3. Review the day. I carefully look back on the day just completed, being guided by the Holy Spirit. 4. Face your shortcomings. I face up to what is wrong-in my life and in me. 5. Look toward the day to come. I ask where I need God in the day to
Jim Manney (A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer: Discovering the Power of St. Ignatius Loyola's Examen)
Zdepasto i grbavo deblo drveta nikada ne bi povjerovalo da može postati statua, zadivljujuće umjetničko djelo, i nikada se ne bi podložilo dlijetu kipara, koji svojim genijem proniče što sve može načiniti od tog debla
Ignatius of Loyola
Calisto, a companion of Ignatius, and who on recovering from a severe illness had heard of the imprisonment of Ignatius, hastened from Segnovia, where he was staying, and came to Alcala, that he, too, might be cast into prison.
Ignatius of Loyola
A thick and shapeless trunk would never believe that it could become a statue, admired as a miracle of sculpture, and would never consent to submit itself to the chisel of the sculptor who sees by his genius what he can make of it.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
For the love of God, do not be careless or tepid. For if tautness breaks the bow, idleness breaks the soul. Try to maintain a holy and discreet ardor in work and in the pursuit of learning as well as of virtue. With one as with the other, one energetic act is worth a thousand that are listless, and what a lazy man cannot accomplish in many years an energetic man usually achieves in a short time. —St. Ignatius Loyola, The Letters of St. Ignatius of Loyola, William
Jim Manney (An Ignatian Book of Days)
Todos os que exerceram influência na marcha da humanidade, todos, sem excepção, adquiriram tal capacidade e poder por estarem disponíveis para o destino. Isto aplica-se tanto a Moisés como ao Buda, a Napoleão ou a Bismark. Qual a onda ao serviço da qual cada um se põe, ou o polo a partir do qual é conduzido, não está ao seu alcance determiná-lo. Se Bismark tivesse compreendido os social-democratas e acolhido as suas concepções, teria agido como uma pessoa esperta, mas não teria sido um homem do destino. O mesmo se passou com Napoleão, com César, com Loyola, com todos!
Hermann Hesse (Demian)
Consideremos el sermón que Cristo nuestro Señor hace a todos sus siervos y amigos, encomendándoles que a todos quieran ayudar en traerlos, primero a suma pobreza espiritual y, si su divina majestad fuere servida y los quisiere eligir no menos a la pobreza actual; segundo, a deseo de oprobios y menosprecios, porque destas dos cosas se sigue la humildad. De manera que sean tres escalones: el primero, pobreza contra riqueza; el segundo, oprobio o menosprecio contra el honor mundano; el tercero, humildad contra la soberbia; y destos tres escalones induzgan a todas las otras virtudes.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Propio es del mal espíritu morder, tristar y poner impedimentos, inquietando con falsas razones para que no pase adelante; y propio del bueno dar ánimo y fuerzas, consolaciones, lágrimas, inspiraciones y quietud, facilitando y quitando todos impedimentos, para que en el bien obrar proceda adelante.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Psychologists talk about the three parts of the mind: the cognitive (reason and other mental processes), the conative (the will), and the affective (feelings and emotions). All of these are involved in the choices we make, but the engine that drives the train is the affective power. The traditional word for it is “heart.
Jim Manney (What Do You Really Want? St. Ignatius Loyola and the Art of Discernment)
En los que proceden de bien en mejor, el buen ángel toca a la tal ánima dulce, leve y suavemente, como gota de agua que entra en una esponja; y el malo toca agudamente y con sonido y inquietud, como cuando la gota de agua cae sobre la piedra. Y a los que proceden de mal en peor tocan los sobredichos espíritus contrario modo.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Primer modo para hacer una buena elección: El primer punto es proponer delante la cosa sobre que quiero hacer elección, así como un oficio o beneficio para tomar o dejar, o de otra cualquier cosa que cae en elección mutable. Segundo. Es menester tener por obyecto el fin para que soy criado, que es para alabar a Dios nuestro Señor y salvar mi ánima; y con esto hallarme indiferente, sin afección alguna desordenada. Quinto. Después que así he discurrido y raciocinado a todas partes sobre la cosa propósita, mirar dónde más la razón se inclina; y así, según la mayor moción racional, y no moción alguna sensual, se debe hacer deliberación sobre la cosa propósita.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
En toda buena elección, en cuanto es de nuestra parte, el ojo de nuestra intención debe ser simple, solamente mirando para lo que soy criado, es a saber, para alabanza de Dios nuestro Señor y salvación de mi ánima, y así, cualquier cosa que yo eligiere debe ser a que me ayude para al fin para que soy criado, no ordenando ni trayendo el fin al medio, mas el medio al fin. Porque primero hemos de poner por obyecto querer servir a Dios, que es el fin, y secundario tomar beneficio o casarme, si más me conviene, que es el medio para el fin; así ninguna cosa me debe mover a tomar los tales medios o a privarme dellos, sino sólo el servicio y alabanza de Dios nuestro Señor y salud eterna de mi ánima.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Ignatius de Loyola came to the conclusion that the only way his "church" could survive was by enforcing the canons and doctrines on the temporal power of the pope and the Roman Catholic institution; not by just destroying the physical life of the people alone as the Dominican priests were doing through the Inquisition, but by infiltration and penetration into every sector of life. Protestantism must be conquered and used for the benefit of the popes. That was Ignatius de Loyola's personal proposal, among others, to Pope Paul III. Jesuits immediately went to work secretly infiltrating ALL the Protestant groups including their families, places of work, hospitals, schools, colleges, etc. Today, the Jesuits have almost completed that mission.
Edmund Paris (The Secret History of the Jesuits)
You ask me how I manage to put some balance into my life. This is a question I ask myself, as each day I am swallowed up more by my work.… So often I feel I am on a rock, battered from all sides by rising waves. The only escape route is heavenwards. For an hour or a day, I let the waves beat upon the rock; I stop looking out to the horizon and only look upwards towards God.
Sean Salai (The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola: With Points for Personal Prayer From Jesuit Spiritual Masters)
In the course of the conversation mention was made of the Blessed Virgin. The stranger remarked that though he admitted that the Mother of Christ had conceived without detriment to her virginal purity, yet he could not believe that after the conception of her divine Son she was still a virgin. He was so obstinate in holding this opinion, that no amount of reasoning on the part of Ignatius could force him to abandon it. Shortly afterward the Saracen rode on, leaving the pilgrim to his own reflections. These were not of the most peaceful nature. He was sorely troubled as he thought over the conduct of his recent fellow-traveler, and felt that he had but poorly acquitted himself of his duty of honoring the Mother of God. The longer his mind thought upon the matter, the more his soul was filled with indignation against himself for having allowed the Saracen to speak as he had done of the Blessed Virgin, and for the lack of courage he fancied he had shown in not at once resenting the insult. He consequently felt impelled by a strong impulse to hasten after him and slay the miscreant for the insulting language he had used.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Autobiography of St. Ignatius)
El primer punto. Es necesario que todas cosas de las cuales queremos hacer elección sean indiferentes o buenas en sí, y que militen dentro de la santa madre Iglesia jerárquica, y no malas ni repugnantes a ella. Segundo. Hay unas cosas que caen debajo de elección inmutable, así como son sacerdocio, matrimonio, etc.; hay otras que caen debajo de elección mutable, así como son tomar beneficios o dejarlos, tomar bienes temporales o lanzallos. Tercero. En la elección inmutable, que ya una vez se ha hecho elección, no hay más que eligir, porque no se puede desatar; así como es matrimonio, sacerdocio, etc. Sólo es de mirar que, si no ha hecho elección debida y ordenadamente sin afecciones desordenadas, arrepintiéndose, procure hacer buena vida en su elección.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Fifth Rule. The fifth: In time of desolation never to make a change; but to be firm and constant in the resolutions and determination in which one was the day preceding such desolation, or in the determination in which he was in the preceding consolation. Because, as in consolation it is rather the good spirit who guides and counsels us, so in desolation it is the bad, with whose counsels we cannot take a course to decide rightly.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
The Third Method of Prayer is that with each breath in or out, one has to pray mentally, saying one word of the Our Father, or of another prayer which is being recited: so that only one word be said between one breath and another, and while the time from one breath to another lasts, let attention be given chiefly to the meaning of such word, or to the person to whom he recites it, or to his own baseness, or to the difference from such great height to his own so great lowness.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Age quod agis” is a Latin phrase that means “do what you are doing” or “concentrate on the task at hand”. It is often translated as “do well whatever you do”. The phrase is attributed to Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order. It is used as a reminder to focus on one task at a time and not to spread one's moral efforts too thin. Pope St. John XXIII also used the phrase to mean "do not be concerned with any other matter than the task in hand". Often translated as "do well whatever you do". Literally translated, it means "do what you do"; figuratively it means "keep going, because you are inspired or dedicated to do so". This is the motto of several Roman Catholic schools. It was used by Pope St. John XXIII in the sense of "do not be concerned with any other matter than the task in hand"; he was allaying worry of what would become of him in the future: his sense of "age quod agis" was "joy" regarding what is presently occurring and "detachment" from concern of the future.
Ignatius of Loyola
Segundo modo para hacer una buena elección: La primera es que aquel amor que me mueve y me hace eligir la tal cosa descienda de arriba, del amor de Dios. De forma que el que elige sienta primero en sí que aquel amor más o menos que tiene a la cosa que elige, es sólo por su Criador y Señor. La segunda, mirar a un hombre que nunca he visto ni conocido, y deseando yo toda su perfección, considerar lo que yo le diría que hiciese y eligiese para mayor gloria de Dios nuestro Señor y mayor perfección de su ánima; y, haciendo yo asimismo, guardar la regla que para el otro pongo. La tercera, considerar, como si estuviese en el artículo de la muerte, la forma y medida que entonces querría haber tenido en el modo de la presente elección; y, reglándome por aquella, haga en todo la mi determinación. La cuarta, mirando y considerando cómo me hallaré el día del juicio, pensar cómo entonces querría haber deliberado acerca la cosa presente; y la regla que entonces querría haber tenido, tomarla ágora.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
El enemigo mucho mira si una ánima es gruesa o delgada; y si es delgada, procura de más la adelgazar en extremo, para más la turbar y desbaratar. Verbi gracia, si ve que una ánima no consiente en sí pecado mortal ni venial ni aparencia alguna de pecado deliberado, entonces el enemigo, cuando no puede hacerla caer en cosa que parezca pecado, procura de hacerla formar pecado adonde no es pecado, así como en una palabra o pensamiento mínimo. Si la ánima es gruesa, el enemigo procura de engrosarla más. Verbi gracia, si antes no hacía caso de los pecados veniales, procurará que de los mortales haga poco caso; y si algún caso hacía antes, que mucho menos o ninguno haga agora.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
(A guerra é o amor)
Ignácio de Loyola Brandão (Zero)
La verdadera santidad no es una virtud de cumplimiento. No es la perfección personal. No es una rareza imposible. Es la capacidad de, en la fragilidad e imperfección propias, ser reflejo del Dios que sí es perfecto. Es ser capaz de enamorarse de tal modo del Dios de Jesús que ese amor se convierte en pasión que arrebata la propia vida.
José María Rodríguez Olaizola (Ignacio de Loyola, nunca solo)
Este libro nace de mi voluntad de recuperar la Buena Noticia de Jesús para los hombres y mujeres de nuestro tiempo. No he recibido la vocación de evangelizador para condenar, sino para liberar. No me siento llamado por Jesús a juzgar al mundo, sino a despertar esperanza. No me envía a apagar la mecha que se extingue, sino a encender la fe que está queriendo brotar. San Sebastián, 31 de julio de 2010, fiesta de san Ignacio de Loyola
José Antonio Pagola (El camino abierto por Jesús, 1: Mateo)
a comienzos de 1974 un curioso libro titulado La verdad sobre la Compañía de Jesús, en el que literalmente intenta linchar a Arrupe. En la reunión de Loyola se repartió un panfleto con el resumen de este libro, que acusaba al General de haber manipulado los escrutinios electorales; de no informar a los jesuitas de la postura del Papa con la Compañía; de pretender secularizar la orden, y de no realizar un proceso canónicamente válido en la preparación de la proyectada Congregación General. En el fondo no eran sino detonadores del trauma causado en los sectores conservadores de la Iglesia por el aggiornamento posconciliar. Pretendían, como siempre que se produce un cambio importante, intentar parar la Historia. Pero la inmensa mayoría de la Orden estaba con Arrupe y así lo manifestaron en diversos documentos.
Pedro Miguel Lamet (ARRUPE. Testigo del siglo XX, profeta del XXI (Jesuitas) (Spanish Edition))
Pinche Dave,” he decided to say, “do you never waver?” “Of course I do. Of course. Even Ignatius Loyola wavered. That dark night of the soul, man. No one’s immune. It would all be meaningless if you didn’t wonder and doubt. That’s what makes it real. That’s what makes us people.
Luis Alberto Urrea (The House of Broken Angels)
Allí, alineados en el patio, separados por curso y género (porque se fomenta la fornicación adolescente, dicen los educadores). A esa hora de la mañana, tener que escuchar los interminables discursos de la directora, que con los ojos blancos, cacarea su oración por la santa patria, por el puro Chile que te educa para ser chileno (qué novedad), por las buenas costumbres, que por lo general son para los estudiantes chupamedias, que escuchan en primera fila con cara de santurrones el discurso de la señora. Mientras atrás, a puro pellizcón, los inspectores mantienen a raya a los desordenados, a los pailones de la última fila, los que no se cansan de joder con sus bromas y chistes picantes. Los que de tiran pesos e inundan el ordenado aire de la mañana escolar con ese olor rebelde. Tal vez son los únicos que escuchan el discurso de la directora, los únicos que le ponen atención para imitarla, para remedarle su curso y mentirosa acogida. Y la escuchan porque la odian, porque saben que ella no los pasa, detesta su música, su ropa y sus peinados y su desfachatez de pararse en el mundo así. Y llega cada año con nuevos reglamentos e ideas y talleres lateros para que sus niños ocupen mejor el tiempo. Los estudiantes de la última fila saben que la directora nunca los pierde de vista. Y por cualquiera anotación pasarán por su oficina cabizbajos, escuchando el mismo sermoneo, la misma citación de apoderados, el mismo: «Hasta cuándo González. Hasta cuándo, Loyola. Hasta cuándo, Santibáñez. ¿Nunca se va a aburrir de hacer tanto desorden?». Y la verdad, los alumnos de la última fila seguirán con sus manotazos y pifias mientras la sagrada educación nacional no los represente. Mientras les alarguen las torturan de las clases hasta las cuatro de la tarde, ellos seguirán riéndose del tiempo extra que gasta el estado para domarlos. Si nadie les pregunto, si nadie les dijo a ellos, que son los únicos afectados. Y por eso los chicos andan a patadas con los bancos, escupiendo con rabia a espaldas del inspector que los manda a cortarse el pelo. Ese largo pelo que durante las vacaciones se lo lavaron y cuidaron como seda. Esa hermosa cascada de cabello que los péndex se sueltan femeninos cuando van a la disco. Tal vez lo único ganado de todas las revoluciones y luchas juveniles. Esa larga bandera de pelo que los chicos desatan clandestinamente y la educación se las arrebata de un zarpazo. ¿Entonces cómo esperan que ellos tengan otras actitud frente a esta agresión oficial que les quita lo que más quieren? Cómo pretender que en la última fila no vuelve una mosca, si todos los ojos del primer día de clases están puestos en ellos, entretenidos en reírse de las amorosas palabras de la directora, tirándose fotos cuando ella presenta al alcalde

Pedro Lemebel (Zanjón de la Aguada)
Y pareciera que todos andamos esperando la primera lluvia para relajarnos, para decirle adiós al eterno verano y por fin asumir el año que recién comienza en marzo, cuando el país retoma su agenda de burócrata planificado, cuando de un dos por tres se pasa del febrero ocioso a las carreras por las tiendas buscando el uniforme escolar, porque los niños ahora crecen de pronto. Uno no se da ni cuenta y los pitufos te miran desde arriba, alegando por la ingeniosa ley que acorta las vacaciones y los mete de sopetón en el odiado primer día de clases. Ese latero reencuentro con la institución educadora, con esos profesores almidonados que les dan la bienvenida con la sonrisa chueca. Los profes que ahora son jóvenes, recién egresados de las universidades, que fuman pitos e igual odian dejar el carrete, los jeans y las zapatillas para entrar en su doble vida de impecables reformadores. Y quizás, ese es el único punto en que alumnos y profesores se encuentran realmente, planchando la ropa, ordenando papeles y cuadernos para comparecer en el bostezo ritual de la primera mañana escolar. Allí, alineados en el patio, separados por curso y género (porque se fomenta la fornicación adolescente, dicen los educadores). A esa hora de la mañana, tener que escuchar los interminables discursos de la directora, que con los ojos blancos, cacarea su oración por la santa patria, por el puro Chile que te educa para ser chileno (qué novedad), por las buenas costumbres, que por lo general son para los estudiantes chupamedias, que escuchan en primera fila con cara de santurrones el discurso de la señora. Mientras atrás, a puro pellizcón, los inspectores mantienen a raya a los desordenados, a los pailones de la última fila, los que no se cansan de joder con sus bromas y chistes picantes. Los que se tiran peos e inundan el ordenado aire de la mañana escolar con ese olor rebelde. Tal vez son los únicos que escuchan el discurso de la directora, los únicos que le ponen atención para imitarla, para remedarle su curso y mentirosa acogida. Y la escuchan porque la odian, porque saben que ella no los pasa, detesta su música, su ropa y sus peinados y su desfachatez de pararse en el mundo así. Y llega cada año con nuevos reglamentos e ideas y talleres lateros para que sus niños ocupen mejor el tiempo. Los estudiantes de la última fila saben que la directora nunca los pierde de vista. Y por cualquiera anotación pasarán por su oficina cabizbajos, escuchando el mismo sermoneo, la misma citación de apoderados, el mismo: «Hasta cuándo González. Hasta cuándo, Loyola. Hasta cuándo, Santibáñez. ¿Nunca se va a aburrir de hacer tanto desorden?». Y la verdad, los alumnos de la última fila seguirán con sus manotazos y pifias mientras la sagrada educación nacional no los represente. Mientras les alarguen la tortura de las clases hasta las cuatro de la tarde, ellos seguirán riéndose del tiempo extra que gasta el estado para domarlos. Si nadie les pregunto, si nadie les dijo a ellos, que son los únicos afectados. Y por eso los chicos andan a patadas con los bancos, escupiendo con rabia a espaldas del inspector que los manda a cortarse el pelo. Ese largo pelo que durante las vacaciones se lo lavaron y cuidaron como seda. Esa hermosa cascada de cabello que los péndex se sueltan femeninos cuando van a la disco. Tal vez lo único ganado de todas las revoluciones y muchas juveniles. Esa larga bandera de pelo que los chicos desatan clandestinamente y la educación se las arrebata de un zarpazo.
Pedro Lemebel (Zanjón de la Aguada)
Llamo desolación a la escuridad del ánima, turbación en ella, moción a las cosas bajas y terrenas, inquietud de varias agitaciones y tentaciones, moviendo a infidencia, sin esperanza, sin amor, hallándose toda perezosa, tibia, triste y como separada de su Criador y Señor.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Es propio del enemigo enflaquecerse y perder ánimo, dando huida sus tentaciones, cuando la persona que se ejercita en las cosas espirituales pone mucho rostro contra las tentaciones del enemigo. Cuando el enemigo de natura humana trae sus astucias y suasiones a la ánima justa, quiere y desea que sean recibidas y tenidas en secreto.
Ignatius of Loyola (The Spiritual Exercises)
Debemos mucho advertir el discurso de los pensamientos; y si el principio, medio y fin es todo bueno, inclinado a todo bien, señal es de buen ángel. Mas si en el discurso de los pensamientos que trae, acaba en alguna cosa mala, o distrativa, o menos buena que la que el ánima antes tenía propuesta de hacer, o la enflaquece o inquieta o conturba a la ánima, quitándola su paz, tranquilidad y quietud que antes tenía, clara señal es proceder de mal espíritu, enemigo de nuestro provecho y salud eterna.

Contemplación para alcanzar amor. Primero conviene advertir en dos cosas. La primera es que el amor se debe poner más en las obras que en las palabras. La segunda: el amor consiste en comunicación de las dos partes, es a saber, en dar y comunicar el amante al amado lo que tiene, o de lo que tiene o puede, y así, por el contrario, el amado al amante. De manera que si el uno tiene ciencia, dar al que no la tiene, si honores, si riquezas, y así el otro al otro.

Angelus Rosedale Cemetery. The answers you need start here. Located across the street from the all-boys Loyola High School, Rosedale is one of the oldest, creepiest cemeteries in Los Angeles, with large tombstones shaped like pyramids and giant Celtic crosses. Famous people are buried beneath those stones—“Hurricane Hank” Armstrong, Hattie McDaniel, Rasputin’s daughter Maria, and Anna May Wong, just to name a few. Old Los Angeles is also buried here. Southern California streets, high schools, and cities have been named after the Slausons, Burbanks, and Fremonts now interred at Rosedale.

Nothing vague, idle, or purely speculative, is to occupy man in the retreat. He comes to learn to conquer himself; to free himself from evil passions; to reform the disorder, great or little, of his past life, and to regulate it for the future by a plan conformable to the Divine will.

Como é que nos salvamos, de que modo atravessamos todos esses tempos é outra pergunta que não desejo que me façam. Atravessamos. Às vezes, é mais simples do que se pensa, o medo é fruto da imaginação.
Ignácio de Loyola Brandão (Não Verás País Nenhum)
Um país em que há séculos se deita falação. Desde a carta de Pero Vaz de Caminha. A falação foi uma característica que os Esquemas souberam capitalizar, introduzindo na psicologia popular. Fizeram com que a falação se transformasse numa cortina de fumaça, encobrindo tudo que fosse possível.

Ignácio de Loyola Brandão (Não Verás País Nenhum)
We should not fix our desires on health or sickness, wealth or poverty, success or failure, a long life or a short one. For everything has the potential of calling forth in us a deeper response to our life in God. Our only desire and our one choice should be this: I want and I choose what better leads to God's deepening his life in me.
Saint Ignatius of Loyola
The school operates on a foundation of three core values that are antithetical to the Untruth of Emotional Reasoning: a culture of thinking (ask questions, seek understanding, and practice the habits of good thinking), self-knowledge (practice ongoing self-reflection and self-awareness), and openness and respect (strive for a strong sense of community marked by collaboration, empowerment, and intentional openness and respect for the thinking of others; this is also an antidote to the Untruth of Us Versus Them).

PRAYER. In the preparatory prayer I will beg God our Lord for grace that all my intentions, actions, and operations may be directed purely to the praise and service of His Divine Majesty.

an admonition that, as St Ignatius Loyola of the Jesuits said, we are called by God to be a Man for Others. So, my parents didn’t always give me what I wanted, but they gave me what they thought I needed.
Kevin Couhig (A Man for Others)
Religion gave him spiritual order, an ethical system with which to confront life. At times he doubted transcendence, he doubted God, but never the irreplaceable function of Catholicism as an instrument for the social restraint of the human animal’s irrational passions and appetites. And, in the Dominican Republic, as a constituent force for nationhood, equal to the Spanish language. Without the Catholic faith, the country would fall into chaos and barbarism. As for belief, he followed the recommendation of St. Ignatius Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises: to behave as if one believed, miming the rites and precepts: Masses, prayers, confessions, communions. This systematic repetition of religious form gradually created the content, filling the void—at a certain point—with the presence of God.

que el examen nos ayuda a hacer. Por eso lo llamo la oración que cambia la vida.

Los libros, las ideas y los consejos prudentes son importantes, pero el lugar en el que fundamentalmente encontramos a Dios es en lo que nosotros mismos experimentamos.

Pedro, entonces, le dedicó una de sus más espectaculares sonrisas[13]. Negrín le dio un abrazo. Con el umbroso valle de Loyola, nadie sabía que estaban abrazándose el futuro primer ministro del Gobierno de la República Española y el futuro General de la Compañía de Jesús. Entonces solo eran un profesor y un ex alumno que se miraban con simpatía.

Il rimanere con l’intelletto illuminato in tal modo fu così intenso che gli pareva di essere un altro uomo, o che il suo intelletto fosse diverso da quello di prima.

Try to keep your soul always in peace and quiet, always ready for whatever our Lord may wish to work in you. It is certainly a higher virtue of the soul, and a greater grace, to be able to enjoy the Lord in different times and different places than in only one. —Ignatius of Loyola Aaron

I was also aware of three other historically important Christians whose apparently obsessive-compulsive symptoms had become a source of latter-day psychiatric speculation. They were Martin Luther, architect of Europe’s sixteenth-century Reformation and a figure of incomparable importance in the history of Western civilization; Ignatius of Loyola, Luther’s famous adversary, founder of the Catholic order known as the Jesuits and leader of the Counter-Reformation; and Alphonsus Liguori, a nineteenth-century Catholic saint who is renowned for his contributions to the field of moral theology.
