Course XLVI - Teaching 6: Prayers and Studies of the Seminary

In the Seminary, the Sons will make their studies in common and also their meditations, except that of the night, which has to be made at the foot of the bed.
In the Seminary, they will have thirty minutes in the morning for vocalized prayers.
Since prayers in the morning are indicated in the Ceremonial as little adaptable to an environment of life in common, every Son will substitute those prayers in turns for the exercise of meditation. Later they will have thirty minutes of Meditation.
Ask of your Superior his blessing before your prayers. The appointed Son bows his head and standing before his Superior will say, “Bless us”.
If the Superior is not authorized to impart his blessing, he will just recite the prayer of blessing and instead of saying, “My blessing”, he will say, “Your blessing”.
The Sons will fulfill thirty minutes of vocalized prayers in common at night, will recite the “Hymn to the Divine Mother” and the “Om” corresponding to every day, and will request to the Superior his blessing. Also, they can recite these psalms, “In Exitu” and “Eructavit”. Later they will go to meditation.
Their spiritual reading will be in common with the entire Community; likewise, the Readings of Saturdays.
Certain determined Teachings in accordance with the Regulation will be imparted in the Seminary during thirty minutes. The Sons also will have thirty minutes of a specialised course and thirty minutes of Cultural Study.
In the afternoon, after the Rigorous Silence, or before the supper, the Sons will study the Regulation during thirty minutes, led by the Director, except in usual days off. This course will be given in summer vacation.
If the Knight Great Master establishes certain special spiritual or cultural course, some hours usually devoted to manual work will be reserved to him.
