“Certain attitudes, values, and patterns of behavior join together to become what has been called the Jesuit way of proceeding. The characteristics of our way of proceeding were born in the life of St. Ignatius and shared by his first companions.” Jerome Nadal writes that“the form of the Society is in the life of Ignatius [and it includes] a deep personal love for Jesus Christ.”canada-map–Society of Jesus, General Congregation 34
