In the morning walk to the office. Do a slew of court hearings over Zoom. Work all afternoon at the office on a bunch of other stuff. This week I have worked way more than at any time over the past several weeks. Walk up to Marquette University. There are signs on all the light poles declaring the Ignatian Year. This is because it was 500 years ago, in 1521, that the founder of the Society of Jesus, St. Ignatius of Loyola, was injured in the battle of Pamplona. His right leg was shattered by a cannonball. While recovering from his wounds, Ignatius began to think about God all the time. He later became a priest and in 1539 formed the Order of the Society of Jesus.
