A Canticle of Love
Founded in 1847 the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception are unique as the only post-Reformation Catholic Church to be founded in Scotland, let alone one of the few to be founded by women. Today this religious congregation has communities on three continents.
Constitution of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception
Divine mercy has caned us to a Community that has a two-fold end: The first and most important is our own sanctification; the second, works of charity, viz: the care of the sick, the aged, the orphans, and the education and training of youth. The first end is obtained by faithfully observing- the simple and perpetual vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, according to the Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, as approved by his Holiness Pope Leo X. for religious living in community. The second end will be obtained by observing the special duties required by their work in the different institutions of the Community. The following constitutions were made to help the sisters to obtain both ends. They define the obligations imposed upon them by the holy Rule and serve at the same time as a guide in the practice of virtues peculiar to a religious life.

In addition, a special category of the as yet little-studied indigenous communities of Chinese women has also been included. Multiple indexes enhance the guide's accessibility.

The Marian Vow of Unlimited Consecration to the Immaculate
A book that gives a profound explanation of how one can relate with the Immaculate by means of "the Marian Vow" of total consecration to the Immaculate that is transformative and life-changing. This book is a treatise on total consecration to the Immaculate, conceived initially by St. Maximilian M. Kolbe and has developed into the distinctive charism of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. Such charism finds its consummation in the profession of this Marian consecration in the form of a religious vow, known as, "The Marian Vow." Finding its original inspiration in St. Maximilian Kolbe who envisioned of a "fourth vow" of consecration that puts no limit to the missionary work of the religious, F...

The Theologian of Auschwitz
Fundamental to understanding Kolbe's original thinking about the Immaculate Conception, Fehlner's insight and critique is a bridge from the mystical formulations of Francis of Assisi, who inherited them from Sacred Scripture and gave them a Marian coloring. The theology of Bonaventure and Duns Scotus becomes a bridge between Francis and Kolbe.
