Roots & Sources

of the Stigmatine Charism

 

In this segment of the website, there will be presented a few of the ideas or personalities affecting the life and spirit of St. Gaspar Bertoni. They are placed in alphabetical order - much like an analytical dictionary, or an encyclopedia for the perusal of back ground material on the Stigmatine charism.

Original Constitutions

By now  readers of this web site are familiar with the English translations of  St. Gaspar Bertoni's  Original Constitutions. We have a record from his ninth  letter to Fr. Louis Bragato,  dated May  11th, 1841, of the saint's asking his  close friend for prayers for this endeavor.

The present translation is based on St. Gaspar's  original Latin text - and a few of the  fundamental Latin sources which he used. Principal among these as far as  usage is concerned is  the  De Religione  Societatis Iesu, by the Jesuit Scholar, Fr. Francis Suarez, SJ. [+ September 24, 1617]. In addition to this  font, there are presented other sources from St. Ignatius Loyola and his original  Constitutions and other juridical sources of the Company of Jesus.  

This text is meant for those who would care to study the original Latin text and the Latin sources for most of its content.
