Pierre Haas, Superior General, in his introduction to the Spiritan Rule of Life
The Church, by beatifying Jacques Laval and Daniel Brottier, recognises that the way pioneered by Claude Poullart des Places and Francis Libermann, and subsequently followed by generations of Spiritans, is a sure path to follow. So it is in complete confidence that I present this Rule of Life to you as being a gift from the Holy Spirit. It takes up our fundamental inspiration and carries it forward from our former Rules and Constitutions. It represents the application of the charism of the Founders to the Church of our times and the modern world- God's present day- an application made possible by the research that has gone on in our Congregation since the 1968 General Chapter.
P. Haas, Introduction à la R.V.S.
En béatifiant Jacques Laval et Daniel Brottier, l’Église reconnaît la fécondité de la voie ouverte par Claude Poullart des Places et François Libermann et empruntée par des générations de Spiritains. C’est donc en toute confiance que je vous transmets cette Règle de Vie comme un don de l’Esprit. Prenant le relais de nos anciennes “Règles et Constitutions”, dont elle garde l’inspiration fondamentale, elle est l’application du charisme de nos Fondateurs à l’aujourd’hui de Dieu dans l’Église et le monde, grâce aux recherches entreprises dans notre Congrégation depuis le Chapitre de 1968.
P. Haas, Introdução à RVE.
Beatificando Jacques Laval e Daniel Brottier, a Igreja reconhece a fecundidade desta via aberta por Cláudio Poullart des Places e Francisco Libermann e seguida por gerações de Espiritanos. É pois com toda a confiança que vos transmito esta Regra de Vida como um dom do Espírito Santo. Substituindo as antigas “Regras e Constituições”, de que guarda a inspiração fundamental, ela constitui a aplicação do carisma dos nossos Fundadores ao hoje de Deus na Igreja e no mundo, graças aos estudos empreendidos na Congregação desde o Capítulo de 1968.
