“Companions of Jesus to love and to serve”.

This volume of more than 400 pages is the fruit of the collaboration between Jacques Fédry, a French Jesuit from West Africa, and Marc Lindeijer, a Bollandist from the European Low Countries Province. With a preface by Father General and historical introductions by Fr. John O’Malley, the work presents some 70 portraits of various Jesuit saints and blesseds throughout the centuries.

The authors’ central conviction, writes Jacques Fédry, is that the lives of Jesuit saints help us to enter more deeply into the spirit of the Society of Jesus, just as Ignatius’s autobiography helps us to enter more deeply into his spirit. The book was published in French by Éditions Vie Chrétienne (Paris) in collaboration with the General Curia, and editions in English and Spanish are under consideration. It is a notable contribution to the spirit of the Ignatian Year.
