Faith- fully performing these duties, he used every opportuni- ty to strengthen religious discipline and devotion to the Immaculate Virgin among his brethren, as well as to revive the spirit of their Founder. His fruitful activity was supported above all by his personal witness of life filled with particular care for obtaining and improving his virtues. Elected General Superior (1737-1741), he used all means available to this office to renew and improve the customs and spirit of the Order but especially to eliminate the damages caused by the so-called “Rost- kovian dispersion” (1715-22) and fatal influences of moral depravity dominating the Polish population of the day. As the superior of the monastery in Góra Kalwa- ria (1739-47), he did his best to increase its spiritual and material goods, being particularly concerned with rescuing the Founder’s earthly remains from total ruin. 71 Appendices
