Chapter Ten

THE BROTHERS’ RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE TRINITARIAN FAMILY
187. Our brotherhood encourages a special relationship with the other institutes of the Trinitarian Family and with their members. This relationship is particularly beneficial to safeguard the original spirit of the Order, as well as to share in the Order’s spiritual richness and to provide reciprocal assistance and cooperation.
188. The nuns of our Order evidence the contemplative dimension of the Trinitarian family; they live in intimate relation with the Father through the Word in the Holy Spirit, through a life of solitude, prayer, penance and work.
In keeping with the wishes of Church, our religious will gladly assist them so that, flourishing everywhere both in numbers and in the fervor of charity, the nuns “may lend luster to God’s people with abundant fruits of holiness, sway them by their example and make the Church grow by their hidden apostolic fruitfulness”
189. The various congregations of sisters, each sharing in the common charism of the Order in its own specific way, endeavor to render glory and praise to the Holy Trinity by performing a variety of works of mercy and redemption.
In keeping with the prescriptions of law, our Order will establish a working relationship with the sisters, so that all persons, created in the image of the One and Triune God, may enjoy fullness of redemption in body and in spirit.
190. Secular institutes, the lay order and other Trinitarian associations, established by the Order or aggregated to it, share in the Order’s charism while their members live in the word. As lay people who are motivated by their particular vocation to transform the world in the spirit of the beatitudes, they work as leaven from within.
Let our religious endeavor to establish and foster associations of this kind, adapted to the circumstances of the times, and other Trinitarian movements for the glory and enhancement of the Church.
191. Let gratitude, kindness and charity be shown to our benefactors and all who share in our work, as their spiritual and temporal needs may require.
Indeed, the relatives and, in a particular way, the parents of our religious should be counted as special among the benefactors of the Order and, therefore, be given special expressions of appreciation and affection.
