In a day and age where turning one's back on God has become so commonplace, much like how the Israelites turned away from God to worship an idol, the golden calf, Moses and St Ignatius stand as reminders for us to stay faithful to God. Amidst the revelry and the moral corruption of his day, St Ignatius develops this understanding of being a “soldier for Christ” as a way to encourage us today to become disciplined, to grow in virtue, to every day enter spiritual combat by our prayers, penances, and by how we live our lives. This first begins inside us, and then flows to our work, the people around us, and then the world.
