Saint Ignatius of Loyola (01)

This coloring page features St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). He is depicted with a radiant halo and a blessing hand raised in peace. In his other hand, he holds an open book inscribed with his famous motto “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam” (“For the Greater Glory of God”), the guiding principle of Jesuit spirituality. The detailed background of ornate foliage and Gothic framing recalls illuminated manuscripts of the Renaissance.
St. Ignatius (1491–1556) is remembered for his profound spiritual exercises, which continue to guide Catholics in prayer and discernment.

This page is excellent for catechesis, religion classes, and family faith formation, especially around his feast day, July 31. It invites children and adults alike to reflect on holiness, devotion, and discernment of God’s will.
