Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not
only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to.

Idleness is the enemy of the soul. Therefore the sisters should be occupied at
certain times in manual labor, and again at fixed hours in sacred
reading.
