Abstract:

The Society of Jesus was near the sick person who was in the throes of death or the condemned man for a committed crime. The principal aim of the Jesuits was to get, not only their own salvation, but also of other peoples. The spiritual direction in the last moments of a life, which had to get ready for a good death, was another way to get this target. Among all the works written for it, among the different ways of dying as well as people are different, and the destinies after their death, we will deal with this essay, always from the Jesuits eyes.

La Compañía de Jesús se hallaba cercana al enfermo que agonizaba o al condenado a muerte por un delito cometido. Un objetivo principal del trabajo de los jesuitas era lograr, no sólo su propia salvación, sino la de los prójimos. La dirección espiritual en los últimos momentos de una vida, que debía prepararse para la buena muerte, era un medio más para conseguir este objetivo. De las obras escritas para ello, de las muertes diversas como distintas eran las personas y de los destinos después del «final», siempre desde los ojos jesuíticos, trataremos en este artículo.
