The juridical channel must be adequate to the spirit that God has given us

Convinced as we are of the supernatural nature of the Work of God, we need to ensure that its canonical form fully matches the spirit by which we live. We cannot wear someone else’s suit; we need a suit made to measure. And this does not imply any desire to be different; it is an essential condition for safeguarding our interior life and our own perseverance, and for the Work’s real effectiveness in the service of the Church.

Then we will be effective

Only like that will we be able to respond generously and faithfully to the specific vocation we have received; only like that will we be able to fulfil the task entrusted to us with ascetical means and apostolic forms that correspond fully to the purposes of our vocation. So I tell each of you, “Wayfarer, there is no path; the path is made by walking.”⁵²

And misgivings will be avoided

This will also prevent something we are currently suffering from. Some people feel impelled to obstruct our apostolate because they fear that we are “competing” with other apostolic institutions working in the Church, which is a completely unfounded fear. Such people are opposing the freedom we have as God’s children, and harming the Church’s wonderful unity and variety of apostolates, the manifold riches of the Spirit of the Lord.
