Correspondence
Letter on Obedience
Carta a los padres y hermanos de Portugal (26 de marzo de 1553)
A short treatise on the degrees of obedience —of execution, of will and of understanding— that became a normative text of the Society. It defends obedience as an offering of freedom, not servility, and has been both admired and criticised as an emblem of the Jesuit ideal.
