1207 fundatio domus recollectionis The title Fundatio Domus Recollectionis should not be translated as the The Foundation of a Retreat House, because such a house would be available for the faithful to come and make retreats, but this house was intended only for true hermits dedicated to a life of interior recollection. It was therefore called a “house of recollection” and not a “retreat house.”241 Two independent copies of FDR exist, and the introduction to the Latin critical edition explains which of them was chosen for the critical edition and why it was chosen.242 aFundatio Domus Recollectionis Clericorum B.M.V. sine macula conceptaea a-a Loco huius tituli originalis, in “P” editor Protocolli contenta primae partis FDR (Prot., Pars I, c. II) his verbis describit: “[...] origo Fundationis ex manuscriptis Venerabilis Patris Stanyslai a Iesu Maria de verbo ad verbum [...]”, nullum titulum pro toto textu FDR (in tria Capita distributo) providendo. 1. – Divina bonitas et sapientia, quae vult, inchoat ac perficit, obstantibus licet sexcentis difficultatibus, et ipsa mediorum, iuxta hominis arbitrium, impossibilitate. Nihil enim est impossibile Omnipotenti. Enituit hoc clarissime in me miserrimo peccatore abiectissimo, vilissimo, ineptissimo fundandae Congregationis postremae et minimae Clericorum Beatae Mariae Virginis sine macula Conceptae instrumento. Impar animus, nulla virtus, exigua prudentia, omnia longissime minora tantae molis negotio somniando potius, quam aggrediendo, in me fuere. Sed Deus ipse, Deus (cui sit gloria sempiternab , infinita, et gratiarum actio), que- madmodumme ad hoc suum opus Divinitus, hoc est amanter, misericorditer, sapienter, mirabiliter excitavit, ita illud ipse peregit peragitque in finem aeviternum. b “sempiterne” (Rs) 241 Cf. § 25. 242 Cf.
