Brian O’Leary SJ, Pierre Favre and Discernment

Pierre Favre (1506-1546) met Ignatius Loyola in Paris, and was the first of nine men whom Ignatius recruited there to join him in a company dedicated to the apostolic service of Christ. After the Society of Jesus became established in Rome in 1540, Favre lived a life on mission, largely in Germany, but also in what are now Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and France. He was nominated by Pope Paul III to serve as a theologian at the Council of Trent, but died before he could attend any of the sessions. He left behind his Memoriale, a marvellously sensitive, intimate record of his inner experiences.
