DESCRIPTION

St. Benedict of Nursia emphasizes the importance of maintaining a
consistent prayer life and devotion to God, even in situations where
physical attendance at the oratory is not possible. He encourages those
who are far away or traveling to still engage in the Work of God by
praying and worshipping with reverence wherever they may be, showing
dedication and commitment to their faith.

CONTENT

Those sisters who are working at a great distance

and cannot get to the oratory at the proper time --

the Abbess judging that such is the case --

shall perform the Work of God

in the place where they are working,

bending their knees in reverence before God.

Likewise those who have been sent on a journey

shall not let the appointed Hours pass by,

but shall say the Office by themselves as well as they can

and not neglect to render the task of their service.
