![]() ![]() In order to foster personal devotion and love for the Eucharist, seminarians are encouraged through conferences and retreat days to spend one hour before the Blessed Sacrament, with the expectation that they will eventually adopt it as a lifetime habit of devotion.Communal celebrations of the Sacrament are planned and celebrated during Advent and Lent as well as during the annual retreat and weekend of recollection/Forty Hours Devotion (PPF, 110, 120). The Sacrament is available at regularly scheduled times throughout the week, as well as by personal request. Seminarians who one day will be ministers of the Sacrament of Reconciliation must themselves learn to make fruitful and regular use of this Sacrament.They are encouraged to pray the Office (Daytime Prayer and/or Night Prayer) as a class, or in small groups, and with their fellow diocesan seminarians (PPF, 110, 117, 119). The men are expected to have acquired the habit of praying the entire daily Office by their second year of theology. Seminarians pray Morning and Evening Prayer on a regular basis as a community. The Liturgy of the Hours sets the daily rhythm of prayer for priests.
