PART III COMMON LIFE CHAPTER I COMMON LIFE IN GENERAL One Body and One Spirit 95 All should highly esteem and cultivate the establishment of common life as the source of all spiritual good; they should strive to animate it with the spirit of God’s family, fraternal charity, holy and true friendship, cordiality, and mutual solicitude and solidarity. They should be one body and one spirit, just as they are called in the one hope of their vocation. Eph 4:4; CM 278 Observance of Common Life 96Common life in the houses of the Congregation, with regard to common prayer, the apostolate, meals, living conditions, and the entire manner of life, is to be exactly observed by all. Therefore, no one is to be easily exempted from any common exercise nor, all the more, be allowed to remain alone outside the community for a longer time. (D 58-59) PC 15; CM 279 Lengthy Absence from the House 97 A Major Superior, with the consent of his Council, may permit a member to live outside a religious house, but for no more than one year, except for the purpose of caring for ill health, studies, or exercising an apostolate in the name of the Congregation. CIC, can. 665 § 1; CM 280
