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 people’s. 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.
