Album of the Deceased Marian Fathers and Brothers

† A LBUM OF THE D ECEASED F ATHERS AND B ROTHERS † cant known event of their lives or to a date in which their monastery was sup- pressed or was mentioned for somebody else. 5 ) The names of offices held by the deceased “White Marians” are given as they were used at that time in our Institute, and their present equivalents are as follows: – “assistant of the Order” = General Councillor; – “commissary” = Delegate of the General; – “lector” = professor; – “president” = Superior (of a monastery). It should be also kept in mind that “Father of the Order” (or “of the Congregation”) was an honorary title bestowed upon a Marian in recognition of his great merits for the Order or of his great virtues (sometimes the word “Emeritus” or “Emeritissimus” was added to the title). It is also to be noted that a “Preacher of a monastery” was a Marian priest responsible for preaching both in the church attached to this monastery and in some other churches. Finally, it will be noticed that quite often the mementos of this Album contain not only some more recent eulogies, based on various written and oral reports, but also some laudatory quotations that are taken – out of respect for the documentary texts – from the original Latin Albums of the “White Marians.” It is hoped that from all these eulogies we will draw inspiration to be equally intent on “attaining our own perfection,” while working generously “for the salvation of others” (C 11) according to our motto: “For Christ and the Church” (C 13).
