Saint Stanislaus Papczynski Selected Writings

919 a letter to the marians in the korabiew hermitage 10. I humbly ask you to direct your response to the Rector of the Warsaw house, obliging him not to open it, but to deliver it faithfully to my hand. 11. It serves the good name and the maintenance of many in the Order of Pious Schools that Fr. Joachim, once the first professor of theology in the Polish Province be preserved, lest he hastily transfer to the Camaldolese Order of Hermits.291 This arises from my sincerity and love toward the Order. 9. A Letter to the Marians in the KorabiewHermitage Litterae ad Marianos in Eremo Corabieveinsi New Jerusalem — April 19, 1690 Introduction The Congregation of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception had only two houses in 1690: one was the Korabiew Hermitage, located in the Korabiew Forest, and the other was the Lord’s Cenacle in New Jerusalem, where Fr. Papczyński had his residence since 1677. As the Superior of the entire Congregation, he was also responsible for the Korabiew Hermitage, but, due to the distance, was unable to monitor the lives of the Marians who were there. For this reason, he designates in this letter Subdeacon Joachim of St. Anne as an instructor who will watch over the religious life of all members, and take charge of the studies of the younger members. Fr. Papczyński also includes in this letter some ascetic and disciplinary ordinances for the community life of this house. 291 Father Joachim Goralewicz of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom Fr. Papczyński must have met at the Piarist house in Góra (New Jerusalem), where Fr. Joachim stayed from 1686 until the fall of 1688 (when he went to Rome). Cf. SH, p. 103, n. 32.
