Constitutions and Directory of the Marian Fathers

EPILOGUE “Since no community can remain without the protection of the law, nor is it fitting that anyone living on this earth should be bound by no law: therefore, you who are gathered together in one society...under the government of one Superior...should strive to zealously observe these few Statutes. This will give you interior calm and peace of conscience.” Holy Father Stanislaus, our Founder, Norma Vitæ “It is true, nevertheless, that unless the internal voice of a pious conscience and of the law of love—which the Holy Spirit is accustomed to inscribe on our hearts,—guides us, even the best Constitutions will hardly do much good to us. And yet, far be it from us that we do not value them most highly, as we ought. For it is known that just, good and wisely proposed laws contribute much in a wonderful way to the promotion of all good, if they are put into practice [...] Anyone who follows this rule, may the peace and mercy of God rest upon them (cf. Gal 6:16).” Blessed Archbishop George, our Renovator, Circular Letter on the Constitutions
