Dedication This man was a soldier. He fought for his country until his bones were splintered by cannon shot and he could fight no more. On his hospital bed, the months of healing dragged by. Ignatius had plenty of time to dream and to think. To help pass the time more pleasantly, Ignatius asked for some books to read. The only book available was not his favorite kind, a war story, but instead, it was a copy of the lives of a few saints. Reluctantly Ignatius opened it, willing to fry anything to pass the long hours. Soon, to his own surprise, he was engrossed in the book. These saints were, in a way, soldiers too. They were soldiers fighting Lucifer, and all that Lucifer meant. God's grace filled the heart of Ignatius, for he turned from his thoughts of war and glory. From now on he would fight no more bottles for his king. From now on Ignatius would fight only for his Creator. And fight he did. Ignatius the new soldier fought a r»eu kind of battle. His enemy was sin, his Captain was Christ. When Ignatius died, he made the greatest victory possible to man. 4 He conquered and won heaven itself. Four hundred years ago St. Ignatius died, and left to the world his ideas embodied in his Society of Jesus. Only God can reckon how many thousands of souls have come to know Him through the instrumentality of this soldier-saint of Spam. Our Holy Father, the Pope, has dedicated this year to the memory of St. Ignatius Loyola, and has named it “The Ignatian Year.” As we finish then this year of St. Ignatius High School, we of the Ignatian staff dedicate this issue of the Ignatian year to St. Ignatius Loyola. May his great victory be also ours. Jonewond On j hillside in San Francisco stands a building called St. Ignatius High School. To the passerby it may appear to be only that, just another building on one of San Francisco s many hills. But to us on the inside, to one of us who belongs to St. Ignatius, this three story school building is more than just so much concrete and steel. It is more than just another building. To us, St. Ignatius is an Alma Mater, a storehouse of memories that we shall never forget. It was here at St. Ignatius that we really began to realize that our young lives have a purpose, that we have a reason for being. It was here that we learned of God’s plan for the world, and of our own eternal destiny; of Christ, of love, of the meaning of good. It was here that we met and made friends we shall never forget. It was here that we disco ered the thrill of rooting for a winning team, and the disappointment of a loss. It was here that we learned of Cicero and Caesar in the morning, and danced to the music of the Skylarks at night. It was here that we sang the Tantum Ergo and the Fight Song. It was here at St. Ignatius that we ployed and learned, studied and prayed. Our hope is that this issue of the Ignatian will help you to relive many pleasant memories in many future years. Amna
