(Description Continued)

The chronological approached used highlights two important periods: the "moment" of the laity and the "moment" of the religious foundations. The first volume contains more than 150 documents pertaining to the development of the lay movement in the Sodality of Bordeaux, covering the period up to 1828. A few preliminary texts include writings while Father Chaminade was a Mussidan as a member of the Congregation of Priests and Clerics of St. Charles.

The first section presents the Sodality under Napoleon, and the second consists of documents from the Sodality under the Restoration. Texts include the Manual of the Servant of Mary (1804). Other sections cover the State of a Simple Sodalist, the State of Living the Evangelical Counsels, the State of Religious Life in the World, spiritual development among the sodalists, and the expansion and originality of the Sodality.
