399 introduction missing from the original act.2 Furthermore, Inspectio Cordis was among Fr. Stanislaus’ written works submitted to the Holy See for his beatification process to examine the orthodoxy of their teachings. Inspectio Cordis is included as item number 13 in the third Summarium additionale of the index of works submitted to the Congregation for Rites. We can learn of the circumstances in which Inspectio Cordis was created only by analyzing its contents. Neither Fr. Papczyński nor any of his contemporaries left any specific information in that regard. The composition and contents of this work indicate that it was created on the basis of meditations given during Holy Mass for the Religious, to whom this work was addressed. We must add that these Religious were not the Marians, but the Piarists. Several reasons speak for this inference. First, the title page displays the information that the author of the meditations is “of the Pious Schools.” Next, in the first topic of Recollectio XI, the author reminds his readers of the “Instructions of our holy Father”, which was undoubtedly a reference to the Piarists’ Founder, St. Joseph Calasanz. Furthermore, texts of the meditations from Inspectio Cordis, prepared for print, were in the possession of the Piarist Fathers; it was not a Marian, but a Piarist, Fr. Ignacius of St. Francis Krzyskiewicz, who held the original manuscript. What is more, if another copy of this work ever existed, it was surely located in the “Piarist House in Góra.” For this very reason, Inspectio Cordis was not included among the inventory of works officially delivered to the Holy See by Fr. Dionisius Kisieliński of the Marian Archives, since only the Piarists were able to make it available to the Marians to submit it to Rome.3 2 Cf.
