109 The
novitiate [109] is to last one year, without any
interruption (Diary
544) 522-600
[109] After the period of postulancy,
the candidate makes an eight-day retreat. During the clothing ceremony she
receives the religious habit and new name and begins her novitiate. This is a
further step to test whether the religious life is for the candidate; and at
the same time, the candidate has the chance to better know the Congregation of
which she is to become a member. , In the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy the
novitiate lasts for two years. The first, known as the "canonical,"
is ' dedicated to the deepening of the spiritual life and convent practices.
During this time the novice cannot attend formal ' schooling, spend time in
studies, or perform any absorbing tasks.
During the second year of novitiate, the novices
may, in addition to their religious practices, study or work under the
direction of the professed sisters.
If, after this period, the Congregation and the
novice are satisfied, the novice makes a profession of vows for one year,
renewing them for the next five years annually. During this time, the professed
sister may leave the Congregation or be dismissed. If all turns out positive,
the professed sister is allowed to take perpetual vows (Const. Congr.).
