Abstract

Since the foundation of their order, the Jesuits exerted a huge impact on the Catholic Church in Poland. They introduced the reform adopted at the Council of Trent to stop the spread of Protestantism. The Society gave the world many mystics, great theologians, missionaries, saints, and priests. One of them was Father Kasper Drużbicki, theologian, ascetic writer, preacher, and administrator. His numerous theological works include a treatise on the shortest path to Christian perfection, which is the fulfillment of God’s will. Drużbicki’s treatise was intended not only for those in consecrated life but also for those in secular life who strive toward sainthood.

Keywords:

Mysticism, holiness, Society of Jesus, school system, asceticism, monastic life, Trent’s reform
