On this day in our Jesuit history...

1548Francis Suarez, S.J. is born. One of the greatest theologians of the Church. FB.
1551As Jesuits are called to Rome to revise the Constitutions, Ignatius writes a letter, offering to resign as Superior General because of health. All reject the resignation except Oviedo.
1633At Avignon died Father John Pujol, a famous Master of Novices. He ordered one of them to water a dry stick, which miraculously sprouted.
1646Mary Ward dies. She founded the Institute of Mary (Jesuitesses) for apostolic women. This was suppressed and she was imprisoned. This is the date in the New Style Calendar.
1760At Paris the Society in France was condemned to pay in solidum all the debts of Father Lavalette. Unfortunately, the Fathers appealed on this day to Parliament against the unjust sentence. This proved a fatal step, and led to the destruction of the Society in France by the Duke de Choiseul and the Government.
1841Augustine Bally, S.J. dies, a missionary to Pennsylvania, especially to the sick. He dies at Goshenhoppen, PA, a town named after him by the people.
