THE END. LONDON: ROBSON AND SONS, PRINTERS, PANCRAS ROAD, N.W. APPENDIX. A RULE has been drawn up at Ara Coeli for the use of the Tertiary Sisters in the Diocese of Westminster, which is slightly different from the one to be found in the first volume of this Manual. It will be printed separately, and may be obtained on application at the Mother House. The ceremonial proposed for the use of the Tertiary Sisters is here appended, together with several forms which had been omitted: such as the grace before and after meals; the form for announcing the death of one of their members, with the form of Profession, which must be sent to obtain the suffrages; and the Horarium of the Ara Coeli. A special antiphon of the Immaculate Conception has likewise been added, as it is to be used after Mass and at all meetings of the Order. Also, the blessing of St. Francis, which should be in the cell of each Tertiary; the dispensations granted by Ara Cœli to those who cannot keep the Rule; VOL. II. BB the formularies for the Culpa, and one or two minor notices. In the catalogue of Indulgences granted by the Holy See, as well as in the Calendar, there is a slight discrepancy between the Franciscan and Capuchin Manuals, but only as regards five Saints' days in the year. These have been inserted to insure uniformity in all the Houses of the Order. |
