Epigraph
If someone's work takes them so far away that the cannot return to the chapel for common prayer, they should pray the office where they are, and kneel out of reverence for God.... The same goes for members who are traveling away from the community: they should keep the offices as best they can, not neglecting their measure of service.

- Benedict of Nursia (RB50)
Dedication
