Horarium of the Norbertine Canonesses
St. Norbert advised his sons and daughters that without a day order (horarium), a rule, and the institutes of the Holy Fathers, the evangelical and apostolic way of life which we have vowed to live could not be completely observed (See Vita Norberti B, XXIV 50). Our daily schedule revolves around the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy, which is the source of our apostolic way of life and the summit in which all the activities of our day find their ultimate meaning.
