A Pilgrim's Journey
The Autobiography of St. Ignatius of Loyola

Author: Joseph N. Tylenda, S.J., SJ

Saint Ignatius of Loyola was a man who saw above and beyond his century, a man of vision and calm hope, who could step comfortably into our era and the Church of our time and show us how to draw closer to Christ.

Ignatius' autobiography spans eighteen very important years of this saint's 65-year life…from his wounding at Pamplona (1521) through his conversion, his university studies and his journey to Rome in order to place his followers and himself at the disposal of the Pope. These critical years reveal the incredible transformation and spiritual growth in the soul of a great saint and the events that helped to bring about that change in his life.

This classic work merits a long life. Apart from providing a splendid translation of the saint's original text, Father Tylenda has included an informative commentary which enables the modern reader to grasp various allusions in the text-and to gain a better view of a saintly man baring his soul.

Theologian and historian, Joseph Tylenda, S.J. served as an editor of Theological Studies magazine, as well as publications of the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome. He presently is the Director of the Woodstock Theological Center Library. His published works include Jesuit Saints and Martyrs and Portraits of American Sanctity.
