Jesuit-Ignatius Palindromes
No full textInigo de Onez y Loyola, St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), is famed as the founder of the Jesuit order of Roman Catholic clergy. The logologically noteworthy coincidence that the last four letters of Ignatius are the reversal of the last four letters of Jesuit or long challenged palindromists to devise some reasonably artistic palindromic passage that unites the two names. To date, a fully satisfactory formulation has proven to be frustratingly elusive. In I love Me, Vol. I, for example, Michael Donner offers An Ignatius ejaculation\u27s... [no ital! u.c.!] ... A JESUIT AGNINA! and variations, and Set, a Luca Jesuit \u27angina man,\u27 Ignatius, ejaculates. As ingenious as they are, these palindromes (which their own author calls weird and squirrelish and suggests be banned) nevertheless exhibit a number of flaws, including awkward syntax, the use of abbreviations, and the use of an unfamiliar proper noun
The genesis of the spiritual exercises by St. Ignatius Loyola
No full textThe "Spiritual Exercises" of Ignatius Loyola are deeply imbued with the mark of their author. Ignatius wrote them so that his experience would he of use to others.
They are deeply linked with tradition regarding their type and content. Also the hooks which Ignatius Loyola read during the time of his conversion and which influenced the composition of the "Spiritual Exercises" have traditional ecclesiastical spirituality. All this influences Ignatius' religious experience and his writing.
The primary source of the "Spiritual Exercises" is the Holy Scripture to which Ignatius arrived through the reading of other hooks, especially "The Life of Christ" by Rudolf Saxon. The Spiritual Exercises are divided into four weeks according to the mysteries in the life of Christ.
A secondary source of the Spiritual Exercises is the religious experience of Ignatius himself. "This experience" is related to the mysteries of the life of Christ in a dialectic entity. The mystery of the Holy Trinity and Christ's work of redemption are central to Ignatius' spiritual experience.
Thus we can say that the "Spiritual Exercises" are the fruit of the spiritual experience of their author, influenced by interior and exterior factors. Ignatius Loyola decanted the spiritual experience on the basis of the Holy Scriptures into the language of practical exercises. In these he has joined the proclaimed truth in the dynamics of the whole on the basis of the subjective experience of God's work. Therein lies his originality and permanence

Ignatius - a Message for the Present
No full textWhich is Ignatius' message to present-day man? The author has attempted to analyse this issue, firstly by defining and describing the circumstance and the time man of the present day is living and, secondly, by analysing Ignatius' person and his work which conveys a message to contemporary man. As for the present, it is a time of egocentrism, man is losing inner confidence in his own status, fate, and reason. He lives in anguish and insecurity, he is inclined to scepsis and enjoyment, saturated with finiteness, ignoring eterni¬ty, succumbing to faint-heartedness. Present-day man has no ideals, he has lost his identity and his personal ego, the true reason of his freedom. Igna¬tius has a wealth of things to announce and bring to such a man. Ignatius was, in the first place, a realist: he considered reality to be something indi-vidual, personal, and objective. In his service to man he thought and acted, but not heartlessly. He was a man of effective love, »immeasurable but pre¬cisely measured.” His spirituality is an example of liberation of man for that inner freedom which essentially includes a healthy coolness and a certain distance to creatures and things. Ignatius offers the world of today correct dialectics of reason and heart, of intelligence and emotions. The measure of Ignatius' wisdom, (spirituality), is Christ's love, this new command which sets the norm of man's behaviour, the love of God towards man

Ignatius the Deacon: on the Sacred Images - the Theology of a Hagiographer
No full textThe author examines the theology of Ignatius the Deacon regarding the holy icons, a Byzantine author who wrote around the cusp of the eighth and ninth centuries. His theological perceptions are found in the lives of George of Amastris, Gregory the Decapolite, and the patriarchs of Constantinople Tarasius and Nicephoros, all of which he composed. These vitae belong to the genre of hagiographies in high style . They are composed using elegant phraseology and are replete with citations and theological argumentations. Thus, they afford the researcher abundant material for refl ection. Ignatius presents a detailed apology for the holy images. He theorizes on the way they act upon those who view them. Most importantly, he introduces the concept of the so called living images of virtue which are created by the saints in their own persons. Ignatius raises various arguments in favor of the veneration of the icons and refers to the imagery employed by the proponents of iconodoulic theology
