Excerpt from Qualities of a Good Superior: Compiled Chiefly From the Instructions of the Venerable Father Champagnat, Founder of the Little Brothers of Mary
The Ven. Father Champagnat, founder of the Little Brothers of Mary, was a model superior. He trained rude, ignorant country boys to be holy religious, excellent teachers and prudent and wise superiors. After his death one of his disciples collected together his practical instructions to the Brother Directors of his Institute, and interweaving them with what he had observed in his holy founders manner of governing, published them under the title of "Le bon Superieur, ou les Qualites d'un bon Frere Directeur." It is our firm conviction that there is no better or more practical work on this subject. We have translated and adapted it for all superiors entrusted with the care of governing others. We have added the eighteenth chapter from another collection of Father Champagnat's instructions, under the title of "Sentences, Lecons, Avis du Ven. Pere Champagnat." To enhance the value of the work, we have added an Appendix containing matter on the duties, etc., of superiors from the works of several saints and masters of the spiritual life.
It is our humble opinion, as well as that of several competent judges, that this work will prove useful not merely to superiors of religious communities and to the clergy, who as confessors or ecclesiastical superiors, have the direction of convents, but also to every priest, to every one having charge of souls or governing others.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This guide to being a superior in a religious community draws on the writings of the Venerable Father Champagnat, founder of the Little Brothers of Mary, who believed that superiors were vital to the success of religious orders and communities and should strive to embody certain key qualities. The author argues that a good superior should possess sound judgment, solid virtue, good character, and sufficient knowledge. This book focuses on the first of these qualities: sound judgment, and the many ways in which it manifests. Among these is treating the religious under one's care as one would wish to be treated, showing oneself to be strict with oneself and lenient with others, and reserving judgment before acting. Sound judgment also leads a superior to prioritize providing for the needs of the religious in their care and showing compassion for their faults, over personal comfort.
