C 0 N T E N T S Title Page ....... page 1 Theme Page . . . page 2 A vigil under arms Characterizing the spirit of a saint's sanctity is never easy. Even when that spirit has per- meated Christendom for four hundred years, as it most surely has in the case of Saint Ignatius, it is most difficult to reduce all thc color of Cod's grace to a simple paragraph or two. It is some- thing like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. To us, though, Saint Ignatius can best be typified by a vigil and a sword, the flavor of the man was military and his flavor is reflected in the Order which he founded. The many vigils he kept on the road to greatness began with an all- night vigil under arms in front of Mary's statue. All his life he was to remain close to her and this devotion to Mary is reflected, too, in all who have come in contact with his sons. In this book, we pay tribute to this Soldier- Saint on the four hundredth anniversary of his death. We ask his prayers for us in all the vigils we will be called upon to keep. VVe seek his intercession and enlightenment in wielding a life- long sword in defense of the things of God. YV! 1 3 Q N fi ,figs X ff if 43:13 9,2 W ff' i QNMV 4 X!
