THE BE-ATTITUDES: HEART AND HEAD
Today we use the word “holistic” to describe the totality of our commitment. Eugene’s vocabulary for this same concept in the 1818 Rule, and later, was “charity and obedience.” In other words, “heart and head.” To “imitate in everything the … Continue reading
DISCOURAGING VICE
Before the Youth Congregation helped one of its members financially, it investigated his circumstances. If it came to light that his misfortune was caused through his own misbehaviour, then no help would be given because it would be seen as … Continue reading
AN ATTITUDE OF AWARENESS

SURROUNDING THE SICK WITH AFFECTION
Art. 23. As soon as the Director has been informed of the illness of one of the congregants he will go and visit him immediately. Art. 24. He will inform the infirmarians of the illness of the congregant and of … Continue reading
