SECTION I

 

FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, WHOM WE SERVE

 

The Holy Mother Church, whom is tasked with spreading the word of our almighty creator; God. Must find itself in every crevice and corner of this land, a task given unto us payment and priests alike by our Holy Lord.  So we must devote ourselves in whole, body and soul, entirely to the sake of the almighty Lord and his will. To give up our earthly gains, and undergo servitude to the will of our most merciful creator. 

 

That we do in earnest, to follow our most holy Lord’s will, establish the Canons Regular of the “Colossus” Saint Humbert of Bar peace and blessings eternally upon his name. The same St. Humbert, the titan of faith, whom so humbly gave upon his noble heritage to undertake his Lord’s will. The same Saint Humbert, patron saint of regents, who persevered in Saint Daniel’s absence defended the faith during the schism war. It is the same Saint. Humbert, the colossus of Bar, who defied this world’s whims, glory, and desires giving himself whole to his most holy Lord’s will. It is his footsteps we seek to follow, a giant of the faith whose life and actions carry us ever-forward. For our Lord in heaven, we seek to give our life wholly for the next. May we defy against the evils and delusions of this life as Saint Humbert had, may his will be inherited in us humble slaves of the lord.

SECTION II

 

FOR QUERYING FAITHFUL

 

The establishment of our most faithful order, of the Canons Regular, has been fulfilled by our most faithful leader Lucien. A humble man of no nobility, who has found himself set on a mission by our most divine lord God. As an agent of the faith, he has found it upon himself to begin this order, so he may fulfill the task given unto him by the divine. Upon a night not too long ago, a spiritual vision was bestowed unto our founder. A divine charisma for which has given a man of no standing, a distinct and holy purpose giving unto him the will of zealots before him. We seek not to imitate prior monastic orders, nor militant orders of which mask the faith from the ordinary laymen. Those same laymen, who share the innate belief of God, though ignorant, follow his message and the path of which they know. The Canons Regular is not constituted solely by religious clerics of the holy mother church, as it is not the same church that exists in the layman’s life solely.

 

Canons Regular is destined to those works while relating to the divine in every aspect of their lives, whereas it is not so with the monastic orders who remove themselves from the laymen and clerics alike; Who consider themselves dedicated wholly to God, yet choose not to share our Lord’s embrace past themselves; And for those militants, who in ignorance and hubris fight in the name of the faith, but without shame claim and plunder for their worldly desires. This is what distinguishes a Canon Regular from the faith militant, clerics, or a monk; He shall be a median point from extremes and shall embody the will of our Lord in every aspect of his life. He shall not stand idle as our faith under each generation whisps away.  The Canon Regular will work tirelessly, as St. Humbert did in the Pontiff Daniel’s absence, in every way to uphold his faith and his Lord’s will. May we act as mere instruments of our Lord, through every action in our lives. For the laymen who smiths and wages away, his labor and devotion, let it be an act of God. For the militant who fights for a secular lord, let his fight be for martyrdom and an act of God. And let the monastic who has embraced asceticism find means to further our Lord’s will to others as he found it. Let the cleric who studies in the name of the church, further his Lord's will to the laity as an act of god.

SECTION III

 

JURISDICTION

 

Under our founder, Cardinal Jonathan, the Canons Regular of the Colossus Saint Humbert of Bar reside and maintain the church of Adria.  We are maintained by our humble faithful, under the authority of Jonathan, kept beneath the ultimate command of our most blessed Lord God in keeping his holy law and rule intact.  As with not only the church square, but our jurisdiction in ecclesial matters spans to the whole of the duchy. For our founder Jonathan, shepherds as the Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Aboa. Of which encompasses wholly the lands surrounding and under the free duchy of Adria, including those minor forts & farms, from the soil to the sky.

THE SEVEN HEAVENLY MAXIMS

 

The seven heavenly maxims, that our so divinely inspired founder was gifted with. From which we use as our most basic principles of logic, reason, and intuition in how we may perform our duties to the lord.

 

1. Work diligently in your calling, so you may shun the ambitions of this world for the next

2. Woe to the cunning wordsmith who sputters strife, let us be forward in our speech 

3. Be moderate and economical, make not waste of which the lord and has given to you

4. Cultivate peace with your neighbor so you may prevent quarrels and lawsuits

5. Give high esteem to filial piety and brotherly submission, for the sake of our most gracious lord

6. Wipe out strange beliefs so we may elevate the correct doctrine

7. Elucidate the laws in order to warn the ignorant and obstinate
