Jesuit

Jesuit is an order of men from the Roman Catholic founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1533. Loyola was a Spanish soldier who was inspired to write his guidebook, ‘Spiritual Exercieses’. The purpose of this guidebook was to convert the heart and mind to follow Christ closer. The first outline of this order’s organization was drafted and approved by Pope Paul III in 1540. Members are priests and temporal coadjutors. These men are members of the ‘Society of Jesus' who’s devotion was to encourage salvation and excellence of members and also from all of mankind. The primary work is education and missions. The order’s motto is “Ad Majorem Dei Glariam”, meaning laboring always for the greater glory of God. Members are expected to be prepared to leave suddenly to any location of the world and to endure any task asked of them. Francis I was the first Jesuit pope to be elected in 2013.
