The brothers ought to devote their energies to investigating human and moral problems that are constantly occurring. Working with experts in various social fields, they should pay due attention to the theological dimension of these problems.

1. First of all, the consciences of God’s people need to be enlightened about the implications of their membership of human society and they should be encouraged to join forces with all people of good will in a common effort to establish on earth a kingdom of justice, fraternal love and peace.
2. To achieve this, we should provide training, especially for the laity, acknowledging and supporting their proper mission of building modern society.

The task of preaching the kingdom of heaven already begun with the incarnation of the Word of God whose object it is to restore all things in Christ, impels us to promote the proper ordering of society.

1. The brothers, as preachers of the gospel of Christ and aware of their great responsibility for the unity of the People of God, ought to foster an ecumenical spirit among Catholics so that the work of reconciliation may continue to develop.
2. Theological research in ecumenical questions is of pre-eminent importance. Those brothers who have proper scientific training should collaborate sincerely with other specialist theologians and institutes in promoting ecumenism.

1. Superiors should see to it that a convent, entrusted with or united to a parish, has all that is required, including a sufficient number of brothers, to combine appropriately conventual life with parish ministry.
2. The number of parishes in any province should be limited, to ensure that enough brothers remain who can devote themselves more freely and fully to other ministries of the word of God.
3. The prior provincial, with the consent of his council, is the competent superior to accept a parish, unless the provincial chapter shall have reserved this faculty to itself, or to the vicariate council with the approval of the provincial council.

Since the apostolate of the Order in many places is effectively carried out in parishes, the brothers to whom this responsibility is entrusted should devote themselves to it with great care, especially through the ministry of the word.

Our churches ought to be centres of preaching, liturgical life, Christian community and apostolic outreach.

Special doctrinal and spiritual assistance is to be given to priests, religious and to others who are entrusted with educating people in the faith.

To foster Christian unity, the brothers should encourage an ecumenical spirit among Catholics. They should also enter into true and sincere dialogue with those who are not Catholic. By cooperating with them in social and technical matters, and in cultural and religious areas, they will help to avoid the scandal of division.

The brothers ought to devote special attention to the education of children and adolescents. This will make a major contribution in developing nations, promoting human dignity and preparing for more humane conditions.
