Chapter 47: Signalling the times for the work of God

The superior is personally responsible for making sure the time for the work of God, both at night and during the daytime, is clearly made known to all. (From para. 1 of Chap. 47 of Saint Benedict!s Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

Do I quietly rationalize reasons to miss my times of meditation, or do I clearly make known to others, as appropriate, my times and even purpose of meditation?
