Jesuit Heritage

Endnotes

1. The expression "our way of proceeding" was the early Jesuits' "most inclusive and pregnant expression of their style of life and ministry," and it appears often in the writings of St. Ignatius and other foundational Jesuit documents (John O'Malley, The First Jesuits, 8).

2. According to O'Malley, no expression occurs more frequently in Jesuit documentation than "to help souls": "In the Autobiography, Constitutions, and his correspondence, Ignatius used it again and again to describe what motivated him and what was to motivate the Society. His disciples seized upon it and tirelessly repeated it as the best and most succinct description of what they were trying to do" (18).
