Companion of Jesus
The letters IHS in the top left corner of this plaque are the first three letters of the name “Jesus” in Greek: ΙΗΣ (“Jesus” in Greek: ΙΗΣΟΥΣ or Ιησους). Adopted by St. Ignatius in 1541 in his seal as General of the Society of Jesus, this monogram became the emblem of the Society of Jesus. In the top right corner of this plaque is a depiction of Ignatius’ mystical vision of the Blessed Mother and Child Jesus. This vision filled him with an intense joy for several hours, but also a feeling of shame over his former ways. He was determined to change. He decided, as soon as he was well enough, to set out for Jerusalem as a humble pilgrim. On his way he stopped at a Benedictine monastery in Montserrat. He exchanged his knight’s clothes (giving them to a beggar) and took on the clothes of a poor pilgrim. Imitating the chivalric ceremony in which a gentleman prepared for knighthood, St. Ignatius laid down his sword before the altar of the Virgin of Montserrat (depicted in the bottom left corner of this plaque) and spent the night in prayer.
This solid bronze plaque honors one of the greatest spiritual teachers and theologians in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. This Ignatian plaque is indeed a most fitting gift for a birthday, confirmation, and patron saint’s feast day.
Spiritual Exercises (# 234):
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.
