...I have learned a lot in my first year of college, academically and socially. More importantly though, I learned a lot about myself. To be more specific, I learned what values are important to me. In my first year of college I lacked, personal and intimate relationships and learning environments, a space to practice and grow into my religion, and the exposure to a student population with diversity. It was in recognizing that I was missing these things that I realized Loyola University would be a great fit for a student such as myself. Personal and meaningful relationships are very important to me. I grew up in a very close family of eight children, raised by parents who stressed the importance of having a tight familial bond. I graduated from a high school of only 36 girls, where I learned not only the benefits and importance of a small group of trusted friends and companions but the academic advantages as well. But my college experience thus far has not supplied me with the personal and meaningful relationships I so eagerly wish to have. I want to go to a school that values a small environment for it’s educational, developmental, and social benefits. A school that pushes its students to engage with each other in meaningful and powerful ways in and out of the class room. I believe that attending Loyola may supply me with this opportunity....

...Bryce Leveroos World Civ 12/8/2014 Machiavelli, Luther, Loyola: Three Names within an Era of Reformation Niccolo Machiavelli, Martin Luther, and Ignatius of Loyola were three contemporaries of the early sixteenth century, all of which had recognized a theological-political crisis in their age. In 1546 Catholicism was under siege by a new and troublesome adversary葉he Reformation. In one fell swoop, the Christian World was cleft in twain. Ignatius and Martin Luther had both been active in the Protestant Reformation, while Martin Luther had been a driving force for the Protestant Reformation, Ignatius on the other hand was the founder of the Illuminati and Jesuit Order which led the Counter-Reformation. The Jesuit Order was to become the most vile, bloody and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic church. This order was an elaborate spy system, so that no one in the order was safe. If there was any opposition, death was imminent and swift. Martin Luther had dedicated himself to the Augustinian order, devoting himself to fasting, long hours in prayer, pilgrimage, and frequent confession. In 1507 he was ordained to the priesthood, and in 1508 he was sent to teach Theology at the newly founded University of Wittenberg, later being called to the position of Doctor in Bible. Martin Luther had started the Reformation with a copy of his Disputation of Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences�?which came to be known as The Ninety-Five Theses. He had also...

...Introduction This piece of art I chose to identify in my critical paper is Fig. 11-7 Fra Andrea Pozza, The Glorification of Saint Ignatius, 1691-94 Ceiling fresco, Nave of Sant’ Ignazio, Rome. The Artist of this painting is Andrea Pozzo born 30 November 1642 Trento, County of Tyrol, Holy Roman Empire and known for Architecture, painting and decorator work. The work the media used in chosen work as the book used is The Apotheosis of St Ignatius (1691-4) San Ignazio, Rome. The Dimensions of the work is 56 X 115 Ft. and the date the work was completed in 1694. Formal Analysis The Element of Design used in his painting was colors are used to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat ceiling above the viewer, his acknowledged masterpiece of Christian art is the ceiling fresco painting Allegory of the Missionary Work of the Jesuits (c.1685-94) in the Church of S.Ignazio in Rome, a work which combined architecture and painting to an almost unbelievable degree, and became a textbook example of 17th century Catholic Counter-Reformation Art. The principles of the Design that Pozzo use I would say variety of building ceiling that were on the ceiling of building. But the Style he uses is abstract from my opinion because Pozzo uses it as a “Catholic Counter-Reformation art” that describes more stringent, doctrinal style of Christian art which was developed during the period c.1560-1700. Interpretive Analysis This painting that Pozzo painting uses various of symbols...

...After graduating from Georgetown University in 2011, I entered the working world with a determined mindset to become an ethical and respected business professional. Much like Georgetown’s academic excellence, Boston College holds its students to a rigorous educational standard, something that I believe to be extremely important to achieve longstanding professional success. Additionally, the School of Management adheres to a Jesuit curriculum that I have built my post-college career upon. I hope to graduate with a business degree attached to the sense of personal fulfillment at a higher educational level that I believe is intrinsic to a Jesuit education. Boston College offers a curriculum focused on the founding Jesuit principle of community that my intellect thrives in. This was particularly apparent when I learned about the University’s “tradition of service.” As a student at Georgetown I participated in tutoring inner-city children for three years, which gave me a new perspective. I transitioned these service traditions into my executive career while working for Macy’s in New York City. I was a member of the United Way Foundation for two years, helping to foster underprivileged communities. For me, participation in community service not only provides an opportunity to give back, but also allows for the building of teamwork and collaboration that can only come from uniting around a common cause. I believe that leadership in the business world can and should coexist with a...

...INFLUENCE OF IGNATIUS LOYOLA PAPER PRESENTED TO DR. GARY MITCHELL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RLGN5354 SCHOOL OF RELIGION BY MARK D. RIGG PLAINVIEW, TX OCTOBER 15, 2015 THE LIFE AND INFLUENCE OF IGNATIUS LOYOLA Introduction This biographical research paper will focus on the life of Ignatius of Loyola. It is the intention of this writer to deal with three major concerns regarding this post-New Testament Christian personality. First concern: to provide some background and personal history. Next, to set forth the contributions of Ignatius and the significant impact he had on the Church in general among his contemporaries, right up to the present day. Finally, the writer will reveal how the life of Ignatius relates to and has personally influenced his own. Background and personal history Iñigo Lopez de Oñaz y Loyola, whom we know as St. Ignatius, was born the youngest of thirteen children in northeastern Spain in 1491. He was raised in a noble Basque family of high Catholic piety but lax in morals. His father had several children by another woman, and his grandfather's lawless behavior led to the top two floors of the Loyola castle being demolished by order of the crown. Iñigo hardly knew his mother, Marina Saenz de Licona. As was the custom of the time, “A few days after his birth Iñigo was handed over to a wet-nurse, Maria de Garin, wife of the blacksmith living in a cottage a few miles from Loyola.” He was in Maria’s care...

...A great way to pray is to look for God’s presence in your life. More than 400 years ago St. Ignatius Loyola encouraged prayer-filled mindfulness by proposing what has been called the Daily Examen. The Examen is a technique of prayerful reflection on the events of the day in order to detect God’s presence and to discern his direction for us. Try this version of St. Ignatius’s prayer. 1. Become aware of God’s presence. Look back on the events of the day in the company of the Holy Spirit. The day may seem confusing to you—a blur, a jumble, a muddle. Ask God to bring clarity and understanding. 2. Review the day with gratitude. Gratitude is the foundation of our relationship with God. Walk through your day in the presence of God and note its joys and delights. Focus on the day’s gifts. Look at the work you did, the people you interacted with. What did you receive from these people? What did you give them? Pay attention to small things—the food you ate, the sights you saw, and other seemingly small pleasures. God is in the details. 3. Pay attention to your emotions. One of St. Ignatius’s great insights was that we detect the presence of the Spirit of God in the movements of our emotions. Reflect on the feelings you experienced during the day. Boredom? Elation? Resentment? Compassion? Anger? Confidence? What is God saying through these feelings? God will most likely show you some ways that you fell short. Make note of these sins and faults. But look deeply for other implications...

...In John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces, Ignatius J. Reilly partakes in a tumultuous adventure through the streets of New Orleans in the early 1960s after an unfortunate accident thrusts him into the midst of society. Forced to search for a job by his relentless mother to make ends meet, Ignatius struggles along the path of the average working boy. Although Ignatius insists on his knowledge concerning theology and geometry, Ignatius’s supercilious and obtrusive qualities display a character who is blind to reality. Despite Ignatius’s lack of practical experience in society, Ignatius insists that he remains superior to the other members of society. Throughout the story Ignatius is constantly insulting people because he stubbornly...

...I envision centuries of practices that have not changed but when it comes to Pope Francis he envisions change and is acting on it. After reading this book I truly believe that he is going to be the change that the Catholic Church needs and that he will be able to have a positive impact not only on the followers of the Catholic Church but all people on our Earth. What I found to be most intriguing about the book was the amount of examples it was able to include regarding the various aspects of leadership and what makes an effective leader in today’s world. These aspects were carried with the Pope from his entire Jesuit journey that was laid out in the 1500’s by Ignatius of Loyola. I found the back-story of Ignatius of Loyola’s creation of the Jesuit order of priests to be very intriguing. Ignatius of Loyola was one of the many examples that strengthened this books representation of how Pope Francis’s leadership traits translate into other walks of life. He demonstrates such positive attributes that can be utilized by people across the world. I found the most powerful part of the book to be the description of the Pope’s character and what he stands for in today’s world. It was very hard to find weaknesses throughout this book but I found one aspect that could have made a difference would have been if the author had a personal relationship with the Pope. I understand that he also participated in the Jesuit lifestyle and experienced the journey that Pope did along with many other...

...At baptism, I was given the name Danielle Marie. This name was chosen because my Mom and Dad really liked the name Danielle, and they choose Marie because it runs in the family. I have chosen the name Mary Joseph Rossello for my confirmation name because she has the same initials and interest as my grandma who had passed away. I found many interesting and informational things about my saint. St. Mary Joseph Rossello was born on May 27, 1811 in Savona, Italy (Roman Catholic Saints). Although she was born into poverty, she had a loving Christian family. In her childhood she suffered from many illnesses, and because of these illnesses she was not able to enter any religious orders (“Saint Mary Joseph Rossello”). She soon then was requested by...

...In my life some things have really stunk, I felt like a total punk. When hope was out of sight, I had a brother who stepped in to fight. I could be in the dumps, really canned, he would always lend a helping hand. He could be really close or not, I could still call him on the spot. Not only was he there for the bad days, but for the good ones, always, I can’t say we’ve always been on the same track, but my brother’s always got my back. I could be in any sort of jam some as thick as tar, still he would never be that far. We used to fight all the time when we were young, then, well then I pierced my tongue. That’s when he went away, he’s never even come back for like a day. It’s okay now I don’t mind, because my brother I can always find. I love him more then a lot things, and it’s not only because we’re siblings. Where ever he is I still see his face, he’s my one and only brother, I love you Ace.

...A community college in the United States refers to a publicly funded two-year institution that can grant certificates, diplomas, and associate's degrees. Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is a public school district that serves Montgomery County in Maryland. It is the largest school district in Maryland. It has a total of two hundred schools, only twenty-five of those two hundred being high schools. It has a graduation rate of ninety percent. Out of the MCPs students who chose to stay in maryland, sixty percent of them attend Montgomery college. It has three convenient locations in Rockville, Germantown, and Takoma Park. MCPS Students tend to go to Montgomery College because it is cost efficient; they want to improve their resume before transferring to a four-year institution, or because they are just not ready to leave the house. The low tuition costs for in-state students tend to lure students to Montgomery College, as opposed to out-of-state schools, and private schools. Tuition for Montgomery College is a low-cost alternative for MCPS students because they are considered in-county or in-state, also because it is a community college. The tuition for Montgomery College for a twelve credit student is $1,891.20. That is significantly...

...St. Ignatius of Loyola was born in 1491 in Spain and was one of thirteen children in his family. Originally, St. Ignatius was a knight for the Spanish forces, however, in 1537, he became a priest. St. Ignatius founded a key Catholic tradition, Ignatian Prayer. Ignatian prayer is a quiet mental prayer and St. Ignatius encouraged this form of prayer as a way to strengthen a person’s relationship with God. St. Ignatius however, started an important form of spirituality, Ignatian Spirituality. Ignatian Spirituality is a spirituality which highly focuses on the relationship between a person and God, and also encouraging God to be actively in our lives each and every day. When the spirituality was first formed and Ignatian Prayer was only very new,...

...The Church of St. Ignatius is what I believe one of the early Baroque buildings of Prague and “is considered the third greatest Jesuit complex in Europe.” (Your Guide Through Prague) It was built in the 17th century, and the flamboyant, overwhelming of the stucco decoration is typical of early Baroque churches built by the Jesuits. According to my notes, it was devoted to the founder of the Jesuit order. Jesuits were known to being conformed to hard discipline, absolute obedience, and lived a very frugal life according to their founder’s model. On the top of the church face, there is a statue with gold surrounding it or a halo. I would assume this is St. Ignatius himself. Out of all the types of statues and statues on buildings around Prague, usually the man with the gold “light” surrounding him is Jesus Christ. However, I think the Jesuit rules allowed this great figure to have this surrounding him. Most of the paintings inside the church have intricate designs; they basically make you marvel and be overwhelmed by how outdone everything is inside. As we learned later in class, the same artist who created many statues on the Charles Bridge designed most of the works inside the church. “Another kind of mystical attraction of the church is the inscription on the tympanum, which connects to their own text and chronogram: MAIORI DEI GLORIAE et SANCTI IGNAZII HONORI PIAETAS EREXIT. This translates as: “Built to the greatness of God’s glory and the honorable pious St Ignatius.”...

...Zara's spare approach to advertising manages to pay off INSIDE RETAILING September 26, 2008|BY SANDRA M. JONES As retailers brace for what is expected to be the toughest fourth quarter in years, Zara, the Spanish clothing retailer, quietly opened its first store in the Chicago market Thursday without a smidgen of advertising. And it's drawing eager shoppers. Its stores, which emphasize architectural details and artistic merchandise presentation, have been described as Armani for the masses. Zara's arrival had been the buzz of local fashion blogs for weeks. "It's one of the reasons Zara has been successful," said Linda Tuncay, assistant professor of marketing at Loyola University Chicago. "They have really good word-of-mouth. I hear my girlfriends talking about it all the time. Once a consumer has a positive experience, they spread the word to like-minded consumers, and that's more powerful than an ad." Dozens of shoppers poured in within the first hour after the store opened at Old Orchard Shopping Center in Skokie. One woman drove three hours to get to the store. Others skipped work. "I've been coming here every day to see when it opens," said Anna Gorovits, as she considered a gray flannel jumper and swing coat. The two-level, 22,700-square-foot Skokie store carries women's, men's and children's clothing, accessories and shoes. The store is awash in dark wood, white walls, stainless steel accents and glass. Garments hang on wooden hangers, as they would in a designer...
