Course XLVI - Teaching 4: Perfect Observance

The Divine Mother abides in a House of Ordination where the Regulation, daily schedule and indications of the Superiors are observed strictly.
To be eager for making many works, for experiencing much mortification and for studying many Teachings is totally in vain if one does not pay attention to his daily Observance.
The Divine Clock of the Mother marks the schedule of a Community, but becomes human every time that only one moment passes unobserved.
The Superior has to appoint for ringing the bell a very punctual Son that indefectibly and for no reason fails in ringing the bell in the indicated way.
Sons: be ready and run as soon as the bell rings when you are called to your duties and if you arrive at an ordinary task after its beginning, remain standing until you get dispensation from the Superior. A daily schedule will be observed in Communities in accordance with the Regulation and Interpretation; the Knight Great Master must approve this schedule. Usually there is a summer schedule from November 15th to March 15th, and a winter schedule from March 15th to November 15th.
Sometimes there is a tendency to a less intense Observance because of certain changes, moves or especial works assigned to the Son; therefore, the Superior has to be very watchful not to permit anything contrary to the Observance, except when necessary.
All virtues are beautiful, but a conscientious and uninterrupted practice of the Observance transforms the latter into a thread linking all observances.
Every first Saturday of the month, during the hour of spiritual reading, the Sons will read the Regulation, Method and this Interpretation to bear ever in mind their duties.
