And therefore, all of us belov- ed brothers, whose names are written in this statute book, with happy mind and happy soul, and with sincere desire, of one spirit and one will, for the honour of our Lord Jesus Christ and of the Most Holy and Most Blessed Vir- gin Mother Holy Mary, begin this blessed confraternity and congregation of the brothers of Santa Maria della Carità, so that the said Most Blessed Virgin Mother Holy Mary, who is continually before the majesty of God the Father and of His Son and the Holy Spirit, will pray for our souls and for the souls of our brothers who are now and who will be in the future. Therefore these things are provided for and ordained by God the Father and by Our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ, and done humbly and not presumptuously, but by divine grace, and inspired by divine clemency. [The confraternity] is begun with greatest devotion for the health of our souls and those of our brothers, and with pure heart and soul, created in charity, so that we can follow what St. James the Apostle said, that charity can cover a multitude of sins. St. John the Evangelist said that God is charity, and whosoever remains in charity re- mains in God, and God remains in him.
