66. This was not cerevisia (ale) in today’s sense of the word (an al- coholic beverage), but a weak kind of ale or a “healthy, tasty and nutritious ale soup, i.e., ale warmed up with egg yolk; it was used at breakfast as tea and coffee are today.” Z. Gloger, Encyklopedia Staropolska IV, Warsaw, 1958, 29-30. 67. This Office ( Officiolum Immaculatae Conceptionis B.V.M. ) was also prescribed for the Marians in Norma Vitae (VI, 1, 4). Its recitation was probably abandoned in the 18 th century because it is not mentioned in the Constitutions of 1787. Instead, the recitation of the Litany to Our Lady of Loretto and other prac- tices in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary were introduced. 68. Records of the Canonical Visitation conducted by Bishop Stanis- laus Jacek Swiecicki at the Korabiew Hermitage, October 24, 1673, Positio 341, 345; Fundatio § 20, Scripta 93. 69. “Mihi certe et Visitatoris cordi adventus fuit, et Leges ab eo datas (quamvis iam habuerim vitae normam mihi praescriptam, a Pa- tribus Spiritualibus probatam) laeto animo suscepi, servareque intendo.

Amen.” Fundatio § 24, Scripta 95. 70. The original of the act under discussion did not survive. It was included in Bishop Swiecicki’s Book of Visitations from the years 1666-1678, initially kept at the archives of the Warsaw Curia. These archives later became a part of the Warsaw Archdiocesan Archives and were completely destroyed in 1944. But Fr. Sydry made a manuscript copy of the original in 1930. Although that copy did not survive either, we do have its typewritten copy from 1933 in the collection of the Marian documents. Apart from this, we have yet another copy which comes from the Protocol . After Bishop Swiecicki’s visitation, Fr. Papczynski made a copy of the S TANISLAUS P APCZYNSKI 338
