l. The precious inheritance of the Marellian spirituality
wo facts are found at the beginning of our discussion on a possible Josephite spirituality
for lay people who wish to know the profound motives for our living as religious
dedicated to the apostolate.
The principle motive is the richness of the spiritual patrimony which our Founder, St. Joseph
Marello left to us, a patrimony which must not remain reserved only for the Oblates of St. Joseph
since it is a treasure for the whole Church and it is up to us Oblates to pass it on to each person
who wishes “to serve the Lord in imitation of St. Joseph”.
