Course XLVI - Teaching 10: Behavior with Relatives

During their months in the Seminary, the Sons will not have any visit from their relatives to accustom the human nature to this new life.
They will not correspond with anyone, except strictly family letters, and will not send or receive letters that are nor previously read and approved by the Superior of the Community.
Write to your relatives what is strictly indispensable; do not show curiosity about family events; your letters will contain rather moral and spiritual concepts.
During visits of relatives, the Sons shall keep a devout detachment, with much respect and affection. If the Superior of the Community permits that a relative stays some days in the House, the Sons can pay him a visit during the time and at the hour already established.
Even they will not hear radio, and magazines, newspapers and books are forbidden, except usual texts on spiritual life.
