Counsels to Religious Superiors refers to guidance for leaders of religious orders, often emphasizing a leader's duty to foster the spiritual and temporal well-being of the community, which includes a council-based administration and a focus on the spiritual and apostolic life of the members. This guidance is deeply connected to the 'Evangelical Counsels' of poverty, chastity, and obedience, which form the basis of religious life. The concept can also refer to specific texts, such as the writings of Antonio Rosmini, which offer practical advice on governance and the spiritual life within a religious community.
