Spirituality: Constitutions X
The Society was not instituted by human means; and neither is it through them that it can be preserved and developed, but through the omnipotent hand of Christ, God and our Lord. Therefore in him alone must be placed the hope that he will preserve and carry forward what he deigned to begin for his service and praise and for the aid of souls.
Beautifully worded and so important to remember. It applies to the Church as well as the Society of Jesus.
