Life in Fraternity
Entrance into the Order and formation
Article 36
- Rule 23
Membership in the Order is attained through a time of initiation, a
time of formation and the profession of the Rule.
- The journey of formation, which should develop throughout life,
begins with the entrance into the fraternity. Mindful that the Holy
Spirit is the principal agent of formation and always attentive to
collaboration with Him, those responsible for formation are: the
candidate, the entire fraternity, the council with the minister, the
master of formation, and the assistant.
- The brothers and sisters are responsible for their own
formation, developing in an ever more perfect way the vocation
received from the Lord. The fraternity is called to help the
brothers and sisters in this journey by means of a warm welcome,
prayer, and example.
- The elaboration and adoption of the means of formation, adapted
to the local situations and offered as a help to those responsible
for formation in the individual fraternities, belong to the national
and regional councils in common agreement.
