Superiors should take special care that those who, in order to carry out a ministry, live outside their convent of assignation can often return there, and be visited by their brothers. The community should welcome them warmly, help them in every way they can, and by encouragement and assistance share in their labours. They, on their part, ought to carry out their ministry as members of the community. They should willingly take part in meetings of the community so that they may be nourished by the apostolic zeal of their brothers and strengthened them in turn.

1. To stimulate the regular life, a meeting shall be held at least once a month, chaired by the prior or by another brother appointed by him, at which all the brothers may, sincerely and charitably, offer their opinion on a topic chosen beforehand, announced in good time, and having to do with the community’s responsibilities.
2. A regular chapter shall be held several times a year at which the brothers shall examine, in a manner determined by the conventual chapter, their fidelity to the apostolic mission of the convent and to the regular life, and shall perform some penance. On this occasion, the superior may deliver an exhortation on the spiritual and religious life, and such admonitions and corrections as he judges opportune.
3. Brothers who are in formation shall have meetings and chapters under the direction of their respective masters. They may also join fully or partially in the gatherings of the whole community in accordance with n. 309, § II.

The brothers should gladly join in community recreation, by means of which mutual understanding and brotherly communion are developed.

Since the brothers are indebted to everybody, in Christ, they should cultivate generosity, which is not judged by the size of the gifts but by the spirit in which they are given. When making charitable donations let them observe the order of charity and never forget the communities of brothers who are in need.

No one, not even a superior, may accept deposits of money belonging to persons outside the Order, or certificates having monetary value, or precious objects, except for a grave and urgent reason and with the consent of the council.

In countries where the social laws referred to above are lacking, superiors must provide for the security of employees according to social justice.

Superiors must pay employees a just wage, and civil laws, especially social laws concerning insurance, taxation, and other matters of this kind, must be strictly observed.

A province’s administrative statute must specify which types of insurance are required and the manner in which they are to be obtained.

It is absolutely necessary to obtain insurance against injuries that might be inflicted on third parties. It is not permissible for any brother to drive an uninsured motor vehicle.

In countries where insurance is mandatory for medical care, old age, accidents, sickness, personal injury liability, the brothers shall not fail to obtain such insurance.
