Join a community of pilgrims and follow the footsteps of Ignatius from his years as a young page in Arevalo, Spain to his final days as Superior General of the Society of Jesus in Rome, Italy. Read from Ignatius’ own writings, insights from selected Jesuit sources, and invitations to programs on Ignatian spirituality all while joining a community of prayer. Journey with a Jesuit integrates with Apple Health Kit to track your physical steps throughout the course of the journey. This virtual pilgrimage app is based on the life of Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuit Order, in 1540. The app features a unique weekly location and an accompanying theme, both of which are introduced through videography and key excerpts from the biography and autobiography of St. Ignatius. The app aims to facilitate users’ growth in mind, body, and soul by featuring daily readings from Jesuit Sources, a Sacred Scripture verse for daily prayer, selected reflections, and the tracking of participants’ steps. There is also weekly content for further prayer and reflection, based on each week’s theme, including a community forum to share reflections and engage with and pray for other pilgrims from around the world.
