Abstract

The Jesuits drove the biographical genre with two particularly specific purposes, one motivated by the continuous criticism of the Order and other very importantly, to publicize and implement relevant members of the Company as models of holiness, virtue and piety, thereby forming a rich documentary heritage. In this case we work one autobiography, as unusual document, particularly in the province of Paraguay. We refer to an account of his life written by Father Diego de Boroa, who makes a detailed tour of his walk, from childhood to his admission to the Society of Jesus, where we can not only learn about their Christian option but to value his devotion and dedication put into the other, thus discovering his true vocation for the excluded, the world in which one feels more of them.
