Founder’s words
God is granting me fervour...I ask him to help me to cast out all pride or vanity as I accept the position of Elder Brother which the brothers are offering to me...Our first council meeting...An act of thanksgiving and complete abandonment to the will of God. A vow of lifelong and fraternal community. (Paris, 2/21/1836)
