appraisals of the religious life yet to be made in the historyof the Church.Religious can accept this challenge defensively,expending all their energies on maintaining the“status quo”;orthey can welcome it as yet another instance of God's Spirit coming\"to renew the face of the earth.\"The real tragedy would be toignore the challenge,to refuse to enter into a dialogue with thequestioning world.This would be to by-pass a\"moment\"in historywhich may not come again.It would certainly be to miss a God-given opportunity for a deeper understanding and a more sincereliving of the religious life in the world as it exists and needs tobe saved today.  \nThere are many and varied aspects of the appraisal.This paperwill concern itself with only one of them,but a very basic andimportant one:the meaning of time in the religious life.We aresuggesting here that among the many aspects of the religious lifewhich need re-thinking and re-orientating the question of the dailyhorarium is a most urgent and a most practical one.What we doevery day is what we do with our life.So it is important how wedistribute our time,and even more important how we understandits meaning.For time does have a meaning,and the hours we giveto prayer,to work,to leisure,may or may not add up to the fullestexpression of their meaning,may or may not achieve the richestdevelopment of their purpose.So much will depend on under-standing the principles.  \nThe first principle we must be convinced about is that timeis responsibility.When Saint Paul tells us that“we must redeemthe time”he means precisely that.We are responsible for thetime God gives us.He expects us to make good use of it,religiousas well as lay Christians.Indeed,since religious life is meant tobe the best example of the Christian life,this sense of responsibilityin the use of time ought to be especially keen in religious,withoutanxiety of course,but with a deep personal conviction and com-  \nmitment.Christ's redemption of time must be continued in hismembers,in us.We are responsible for carrying on in the worldtoday the sacred history begun in Christ,of making our momentsfit the pattern he left us.  \nThe religious horarium does not put an end to this Christianresponsibility.The\"bell for exercises\"does not mean that I nolonger have
