themselves a more complete knowledge of the piety, spirit, and progress of the students. (C 203) CM 119 Completing Intermediate (Secondary) Schooling 150If the students in intermediate schooling have not obtained a sufficient knowledge of Latin, Christian doctrine, or other subjects, it is up to the Superiors to see to it that these deficiencies be opportunely corrected. (C 205) CIC, can. 249; OT 13; RF 156; CM 121 Pastoral Formation 151Students are to be instructed in the subjects that relate in a special way to the sacred ministry, especially as it is carried out in catechetics and preaching, in liturgical worship and administering of sacraments, in works of charity, in the service of helping those who are in error and nonbelievers, and in other pastoral duties. They should receive careful instruction in the art of guiding souls. They should also be taught to use the aids which the sciences of pedagogy, psychology, or sociology can offer. If this training is not available in a seminary or a university that our students attend, it is the responsibility of the Superiors to see to it that this training is provided in other ways. (C 208) OT 19-20; CM 124 Apostolic Exercises 152During the course of studies, let the Superiors provide some periods, especially during the summer break, for exercises in the various works of the apostolate. These exercises should be done in a methodical way under the guidance of directors who are experts in the apostolic ministry, and they should also serve as a test of one’s vocation. (C 208) OT 12, 21 Diaconal Ministry 153 To test their vocation and to expedite their apostolic preparation, after completing their theological studies, the students may spend one or more years exercising the duties Directory—Part V 224
