Summary
From the sixteenth to early mid-seventeenth centuries the Society of Jesus in the Portuguese East Indies pioneered the missionary concept and practice of omnia omnibus. The theological views of Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Society in 1540, formed Jesuit global missionary principles. The meditations in Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises depict an image of a missionary God in the divine act of self-sending and becoming incarnate.1 This God calls on the Jesuits to go and “help souls” of diverse persons in the whole “circuit of the world” by becoming like them.
