Schedule

There is a rhythm to our days - private prayer opens and ends the day. The Liturgy of the Hours is prayed in common four times throughout the day. We also eat our meals and recreate together. But each Sister is free to schedule her work, ministry, exercise, and spiritual reading as she wishes. Below is a typical day in the life of a St. Louis Visitation Sister.

5:30	Morning Offering and private prayer
6:30	Morning prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours
6:45	Celebration of the Liturgy of the Eucharist
7:25	Breakfast in silence and recollection, preparing for the day's work and relationships
8:00 - 11:30	Personal and community work

5:00	Evening Prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours
6:00	During dinner, reading two evenings a week and conversation on the other evenings
7:00 - 8:00	On Mondays a community Holy Hour with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament: on other evenings, after Night Prayer which completes the Liturgy of the Hours for the day, recreation as a community or free time
9:00	Work, study, prayer and preparation for rest so that refreshed by sleep we may LIVE + JESUS for another day.
