The Olive
Directed by Patrick Ginnetty
Who better than a Spanish olive to tell the story of St Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, and probably the most famed Spanish Basque of all time! This Monty Python-esque video gives the historical details of his life in a uniquely humorous way.
Written and edited by Jason Kapell. Fairfield University Media Center.

The Autobiography
St Ignatius dictated his autobiography to a member of his community in Rome in the last year of his life. The autobiography provides an accessible insight into the life and conversion of The Pilgrim and into the beginnings of the Society he founded.

The Spiritual Exercises
St Ignatius began writing the notes that would become the Spiritual Exercises during his convalescence at Loyola in 1521. Many exercises were added at Manresa in 1522/3 and then reworked over the next years until a definitive Latin edition was published in 1548 (illustration).
There are many English translations of the Spiritual Exercises. Probably the most commonly used authoritative edition is by George Ganss SJ.
