St. Ignatius was not only a pilgrim in his movement from Montserrat to Manresa, to Jerusalem and back to Barcelona. Rather, he always understood himself as on a pilgrimage with God. What allowed him to do things like give away all his extra money at the end of the day after begging for it—when he needed it for passage to Jerusalem? Trust in God. Ignatius trusted deeply that God would be present to him, no matter who was with him on the road and no matter what the present challenges of his life might be. It is this trust in God that allowed Ignatius to give all of himself away, to God and to others, knowing that God would always accompany and provide for him.
