Confession, communion and other pious exercises

32. The Members of the Militia shall, unless legitimately hindered, approach the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist at least twice each month. But if they do so more frequently, and even daily receive the most Holy Body of Christ, their devotion is to be commended.

33. Members of the Militia should make very possible effort to assist daily at the most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and piously and attentively with the priest who is celebrating.

34. Let them be particularly and lovingly devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary, most faithful Patroness of the whole Militia, to her Spouse St. Joseph, to St Martin, St Sebastian and St Louis.

35. Let them behave with great reverence in Church, especially during the celebration of the Divine Offices, and be an example to all the faithful.

36. It is greatly to be desired that in each Commandery a Retreat of not less than three days be made at least once a year.

Deus Vult!
