A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

We often hear it said that the Society of Jesus is essentially a military body. St. Ignatius had been a soldier, and his early life is said to have given the tone to the Order that he founded. The two leading Meditations in the Book of tlie Spiritual Exercises put before us respectively a warrior king summoning his knights around him, and two standards under each of which men are solicited to enlist. The theory of blind obedience which is considered, not without reason, as one of the foundations of the life of a Jesuit, is supposed to be derived from the kind of obedience owed by the soldier to his chief. But in the modern world what is often, though wrongly, regarded as,the military spirit is certainly on the decline. In spite of nations armed to the teeth and compulsory military service, frontiers bristling with cannon, and armies counted by hundreds of thousands if not by millions, soldiering is not in fashion now-a-days as it used to be.
