%X The present essay aims at approaching the classic Trabalhos de Jesus, posthumous work of the Augustinian friar of sixteenth century Tom¨¦ de Jesus, through a perspective of exercises of penance, inside the most extended field of the spiritual exercises. Questions are analysed like the methodology, the prayer practices and of spiritual discernment, the dualism between inner penitence and exterior penitences, as well as the advices to break down the temptations, and the uses for the examination of conscience and the confession. The author is placed in relation with other peninsular authors of that time specially saint Ignatius of Loyola.
