Then early Thursday morning at
o clock, at which hour the fathers and
students and brothers of the monastery
rise every morning 10 chant Mathis and
Lauds, this office was also solemnly
chanted.
Masses Are Celebrated.
Masses were celebrated on the morn
ing of the feast at $50, 6. ana $
clock, and solemn high mass at 10
o clock, whom a panegyric of the SAINT
was delivered. In the afternoon AT )
o clock the second vespers of the feast
were sung. At these two latter serv-
/ lces-the solemn mass and tne vespeTs
in the afternoon-the newly arrived SIS
ters assisted. The coming of these holy
rehgIonists attracts more than ordinary
notice. Given TO a life of prayer and
penance, leading n strictly clotstered
life, having no direct communication
with tho outside world, their vocation
is one of singular significance.
Like their holy founder these nuns
are continually pleading with divine
spreading remembrance of Christ s
sacred passion among men, Thus, whilst
the Passionist Fathers are engaged IN
missionary labors and preaching to
large congregations in parochial
churches and making known God s great
love as revealed in his sacred passion
these holy souls, at home in their con
vents. remain at the foot or the cross
with the sorrowful mother of Jesus and
implore the divine assistance on the
labors of the fathers, and thus nelp
spread remembrance of Christ s pas
sion among men, and cooperate in the
salvation of souls. 10 writing Of their
purpose and work the holy founder,
st. Paul of the Cross, says; we wish
-, .4,I eL of ar,l,,
and devoted souls dead to the visible
world and resembling in virtue and
modification our suffering Redeemer
and his sorrowful mother. - Their rule
of life is most austerc. At the end OF
the novitiate they make four vows
the three ordinary vows OF religious,
poverty, chastity and cbedlence-to
which a VOW Of promoting devotion to
the passion of Jesus Christ is added.
These vows are perpetual. Much time
of the day and night is gwen to prayer
Costume Work.
Like the Passionist fathers, the sis.
ters chant the divine Office at the
hours of the day and rise
about midnight for the chanting of the
Mathis and Lauds The habit of the
sisters is similar TO that worn by the
Passionist missionary, which is so well
known in the Catholic church. This
habit is made of rough, black cloth
with cloak of the same material. On
this habit and cloak is attached the
Passionist emblem; that is. a white
the inscription in Latin, "Jesus Xpi
Passio ''-''the Passion of Jesus
Christ Around the waist is a leath
ern belt to which is attached the rosary
of the Blessed Virgin. Sandals are
worn on the, feet. The order was
founded in the year l7T0, about fifty
years after St Paul Of the Cross found
ed the Psssionist fathers. The first
convent was in Cuveto. Italy, and the
first Passionist nun was Sister Mary Of
Tesus Crucifed The FIVE nuns who are
TO make the first American foundation

vent. The chief benefit resulting from
he presence of the Passionist nuns In
America will be the blessings which
heir life Of PRAYER and penance Will
merit from God for this, our country.
