those who do not undertake commitments and those who voluntarily assume commitments in agreement with their Spiritual Director. By way of example, such commitments may include:
- Prayer, Sacramental or other commitments: along the lines of the commitments undertaken by members of the C.A.H.M.
Ascetic, apostolic, or testimonial commitments: ordering one's life in accordance with a timetable, taking on one's professional or work commitments; giving alms, in the form of donation, work , cooperation in the tasks of the H.M.... Doing apostolate work in correspondence by letter, by presentations... The harmonization of beliefs with life... In short, they can cooperate with their prayer, sacrifice and alms, in the fulfillments of the missions entrusted to the H.M. The F.H.M. are entitled to participate in the spiritual benefits of the C.A.H.M. without being members of them and without having any kind of obligation.
