St. Maximilian Kolbe

FOCAL POINT:

“Each local House is to establish a degree of order by setting aside times for prayer, meals, relaxation, celebration and silence. The observance of this order will be carried out in an atmosphere of ease and flexibility. A balance will be maintained between the needs of the community life and legitimate personal needs.” (Con. 140)

“Regular participation in prayer, liturgy and ritual practices will greatly aid the superior in their mission, for their mission, while spiritually fulfilling, can be physically demanding and exhausting.” (Handbook for Provincial/Regional Superiors, II-II)
