Solemn profession is to be made without delay on the day which marks the end of the period for which temporary profession was made. It may be anticipated by dispensation of the major superior given for a just reason, but not beyond three months. (CCL, n. 657, § 3). But if temporary profession was legitimately extended and profession was renewed, the brother may be legitimately admitted to solemn profession, even before the elapse of the extended period, provided all other conditions are fulfilled.
