A Day in the Life of a Passionist

On the right is a scan of a typical 20th century Passionist Monastic Horarium, which was the Passionist’s daily schedule. Adherence to these schedules has become less and less since the 1960s. It reads as follows:

2:00 A.M. — Matins and Lauds
6:00 A.M. — Prime and Tierce
11:00 A.M. — Spiritual Reading
11:15 A.M. — Solitary Walk
11:45 A.M. — Sext and None
12:00 Noon — Dinner
12:30 P.M. — Recreation
1:15 P.M. — Rest
