Manner of Hearing Confessions 93Let them devote themselves to hearing confessions, eagerly, diligently, persistently, charitably, graciously, and zealously; they should not quickly dismiss penitents who are ill disposed, but should try to dispose them to receive the grace of absolution. Those who are assigned to hear the confessions of nuns should in no way interfere in the internal or external government of their community. They should not discuss with either non-members or among themselves confessions they have heard. (C 141) CM 373, 375 Promotion of Piety 94They should animate, support, and promote piety in the souls of the faithful and especially urge them to participate in the Holy Mass and, if they are rightly disposed, to receive Holy Communion—not only on Sundays and holy days of obligation, but also on weekdays as frequently as they can; to visit and adore the Blessed Sacrament; to revere and worship our Savior Jesus Christ and His mysteries; and to venerate the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, with a filial devotion, above the other inhabitants of heaven. (C 141) CM 377 Double Subordination 95A confrere who holds an ecclesial office in the diocese remains bound by the observance of the vows and the Constitutions. Therefore, in all things pertaining to religious discipline, he is subject to the Superior, who has the right, without the obligation to consult the diocesan bishop, to inquire into his conduct and to admonish him, should the need arise. In his pastoral ministry, however, a confrere who holds an ecclesial office in the diocese is subject to the diocesan bishop. (C 143) CIC, can. 678; CM 382, 385 Material Goods Acquired 96Whatever goods are offered to a member of the Congregation in consideration of the parish for which he works, he acquires for the parish; all other goods he acquires as other religious. (C 144) CIC, can. 668 § 3; CM 383 Directory—Part IV 210
