Sisterhoods are adopting\n\nSHORT BREVIARY  \nA great discovery is being made today inmany Communities.Sisters are realizing thatthe Church's Hours of prayer are,next tothe holy Sacrifice and the Sacraments,thechief sanctifying power and source of spiri-tual inspiration in the Mystical Body.The Divine Office is being regarded as theradiation of the graces and blessings from.holy Mass,with the various Hours as thejewels in the crown surrounding the morningSacrifice.  \nSpontaneously the Breviary has becomethe companion of the Missal;together,Missal and Breviary offer a full plan ofChristian prayer and living.Especially for Sisters.  \n# A NEWSPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE\n\nIn this socred experience of living through each day and season as holyMother Church presents it in her official prayerbook,the Breviary,untoldnumbers of Catholics hove come to realize the truth of St.Augustine's words:  \n\"How much did I weep during the hymns ond verses,greatly moved at thesweet singing of Thy Church.Their sound would penetrate my eors and theirtruth melt my heart,sentiments of piety would well up,tears would flow—andthat wos good for me.\"(Confessions,book ix.)  \nYour inquiry for further

moreimportant than the negative.  \nWhat matters most is not so much what we deny ourselvesand give up(the flesh),but the new life which develops in usin proportion as we are emptied of self(the life of the HolySpirit).In any case we could not carry on the work of emptyingourselves and purifying ourselves,unless the Spirit of God helpedour weakness(Rom.8:29).  \nWhen we arrive at the purity of heart which is the fruit ofmonastic asceticism,of humility and obedience,then the Spiritof God,who has gained possession of our hearts,“gives testimonyto our spirit that we are the sons of God”(Rom.8:16).Notonly that,but we receive a conviction of the truth that we haveentered with Christ,in mystery,into all the good things of God.We are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ(Rom.8:17).We are sons of God because we are led by the Spirit of God(Rom.8:14).And to be led by the Holy Spirit is to live n
