Of the Original Constitutions of St. Gaspar Bertoni

Fr. Bertoni took up residence at the Stimmate on Nov 4, 1816. Twenty-five years later he describes, in one of his letters to Fr. Louis Bragato, the Royal Court Chaplain in Vienna, his work of writing the Constitutions – due to ill health, these were never completed. But, they do codify Fr. Bertoni’s lived experience with his early confreres. The work is based on the Constitutions of St. Ignatius of Loyola, especially as interpreted by the great Jesuit theologian, Fr. Francis Suarez, in his work De Religione Societatis Iesu.
