The aim of the article is to present and analyse examples (exempla) in Bl. Boleslawa Lament's Supplement to her rule and constitutions of the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Family. The genre under discussion was particularly popular in the Middle Ages, however it is still used in sermons and didactic literature. The examples are taken mainly from the lives of the saints particularly associated with the spirituality of the Congregation and are inserted in the main text to illustrate the virtues to be practised by the sisters.
