修會是一個社會

修會是一個社會。社會的意思是：成員們相親相愛，共負重擔，共享利益，不分彼此地一起合作。當然，存在著性格、教育、年齡等各方面的差異，但為了和平共處，要克服很多事情。

The Congregation is a society. Society means: the members love each other, they share the same burdens and the same advantages, but they all collaborate together without distinction. Of course, there are always differences in character, education, age etc. But for peace, overlook many things (FSP59, p. 259).
