Here I had charge of ten rooms, and had the serving of two meals daily to the entire floor, which meant about fifty patients, and the only assistance I had was one girl who was neither sister nor nurse, but very good and kind to me. Besides these duties, I had to take my turn in the laundry, do sewing, and above all else, attend to the numberless religious obligations. In order that you might realize of what these numberless religious obligations consisted, I will here give a program of the daily routine which I had to follow throughout my Sisterhood career: Rise at 5:00 A.M. Morning prayer, followed by meditation 5:30 A.M. Mass 6:00 A.M. Breakfast 7:00 A.M. Spiritual reading 9:00 A.M. Examination of conscience 11:25 A.M. Dinner 11:30 A.M. Beads 11:35 A.M. Recreation for one hour beginning at 12:00 noon Spiritual reading 1:30 P.M. Prostration 3:00 P.M. Meditation 4:00 P.M. Examination of conscience 5:55 P.M. Supper 6:00 P.M. Beads 6:25 P.M. Recreation for one hour beginning at 7:00 P.M. Evening prayer and examination of conscience 8:00 P.M. Followed by a visit to the blessed Sacrament in the Chapel. Retire--lights out and silence 9:00 P.M. [Illustration: _Caught in the Act of Kissing the Floor, a Very Common Penance for the Sisters in the Order I Was a Member of._] In addition to these, the following must be observed: Every hour of the day when the clock strikes, each sister must rise to her feet and say, "Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God. Blessed be the hours of the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. O my God, I give thee my heart, grant me the grace to pass this hour, and the rest of this day in thy holy love and without offending thee," and one "Hail, Mary." An hour each week must be spent in the chapel in honor of the Blessed Sacrament.
