France -- Church history -- 19th century; Italy -- Church history -- 19th century
5¼ adoration of the Holy Sacrament by each person
for half-an-hour.
3½ to 4½. Theological class. Dogma.
4½ to 4¾. Visit to the Holy Sacrament.
5¼ or 5½. According to the season, bell for all in holy orders
to say their breviary. Time for conferences.
6½ to 7. "Glose,"--spiritual reading by the Superior.
7 to 7½. Supper. One dish of meat, "legumes," salad, wine and
water. Reading at all meals. Talking never allowed
but at the Archbishop's visit once a-year. A chapter
of the New Testament read; a verse of the "Imitation

7½. They go before the Holy Sacrament; recite the Angelus.
7½ to 8½. Recreation.
8½ to 8¾. Evening Prayers; litanies, vocal, with private
examination of conscience. Mount straight to their
rooms, or go first before the Holy Sacrament. The
Superior remains in his place: each, in passing
beside him, accuses himself of any outward faults
committed during the day against the rules.
9 to 9¼. Bed time; at 9¼ to be in bed. Each has a room to
himself; a table, a bed, a candlestick, and
fire-place. A priest sleeps in each corridore.
SPECIAL LECTURES.
Hebrew; two courses.
Moral Theology; a great course. Young men admitted who have already
studied the elementary course--about forty or fifty.
Canon Law; a special course.
From Easter to the vacation they are instructed in the duties of a
pastor in great detail.
Private study of the Holy Scriptures by each half an hour a day.
At three o'clock on Sundays, at S. Sulpice, the young men exercise
themselves in catechising, except from Easter to the vacation.
Before the first communion there is catechising at S. Sulpice for two
months thrice a-week, (not by the pupils).
OBSERVATIONS.
There is much sickness: (the building has not gardens or sufficient
space for recreation attached to it).
Not time enough for study.
The vacation is from Aug. 15. to Oct. 1.
The cassock is always worn.
