The leg of Ignatius took nine months to heal and left him with a lifelong limp. While recuperating, he occupied his time daydreaming and fantasizing. He called for romances and b ooks of chivalry, but the only two books to be found in the house were a l ife of Christ and a collections of saints' lives. Slowly, Ignatius conceiv ed an admiration for what he found there. He still dreamed of glory, but n ow it was to be God's glory. He still fashioned serving a king... but the k ing was no longer a earthly one. ~ Thomas Clancy, adapted from Ignatius Loyola: A Soldier-Saint
