195 The Eschatological Direction pate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the same intention and receive the Holy Eucharist. 74 Perhaps recalling this detailed list of prayerful obligations contained in Father Matulaitis-Matulewicz’s constitutions somewhat disturbs the synthetic character of this work, nevertheless I felt it was appropriate to quote them at this point because they give us an idea of how much the Renovator cared about the souls of the deceased, how he wanted to assist them in freeing themselves from the punishments of Purgatory and how he put this particular goal set by the Founder of the Congregation of Marians into practice. In conclusion, we can say that the entire effort undertaken by Father Papczynski in the process of establishing the Congregation of Marians and by Father Matulaitis-Matulewicz in the process of renovating it, was aimed at helping man to meet God here on earth, to love Him and serve Him faithfully; to seek, in constant union with God, the strength to live such a life which will bear fruit in the form of eternal happiness.
