Hardships of Life 93In the spirit of penance, they should, in the Lord, bravely, patiently, and readily endure life’s hardships, the weariness, annoyances, and difficulties of their labors, occupations and offices, bodily pains and infirmities, tribulations of the soul, persecutions of the world, and any other crosses that God permits. CM 277 Temperance and Sobriety 94 Food is to be simple and frugal, but sufficient and healthful. Both the quality and quantity of the meals are to be regulated in accord with local customs, with allowances made for work, health, or greater need. At all times and everywhere, confreres should strive for temperance and sobriety; ordinarily, they are to abstain from alcoholic drinks. Especially forbidden is the use of tobacco, except for a weighty reason and with the special written permission of the Major Superior. (D 57) CM 236, 274 Consecrated Life 113
