- The forum, which is not an
end in itself, but a means to help some
people develop their spiritual
life, in the example and with the help of
Saint Bruno, must be cleansed: (Gd

- Avoid unnecessary chatter and discussions
that are far from the aim of the CLC.
(Gd 9)
- The ecumenical openness must be conducted
according to the norms of the Church and you
will exclude any tendency to religious
syncretism. (Gd 9)
- You also avoid to compromise with pressure
groups of ideas either integrist or
avant-gardist. To the spiritual path in
accordance with Saint Bruno, is appropriate
great sobriety and modesty, remote from any
controversy. (Gd 9)
- We progress, all together, in the respect of
the Magisterium of the Church. (Gd
9)
- The role of the moderators is very important;
they must work and intervene according to clearly
defined rules

(Abba James) said, 'Just
as a lamp lights up a dark room, so the fear of God when
it penetrates the heart of a man illuminates him, teaching
him all the virtues and commandments of God.' He also
said, 'We do not need words only, for, at the present
time, there are many words among men, but we need works,
for this is what is required, not words which do not bear
fruit.'
