- During the two months preceding simple profession and the six months prior to solemn profession, a brother shall be examined, and the declarations contained in the appendix shall be made to him. (see Appendix n. 5).
- As to the subject matter of the examination, he should be questioned about the obligations of our profession as well as the human and spiritual motives drawing him to consecrate his life to God through profession in the Order.
- With the exceptions mentioned in n. 207, the convent where the brother made his novitiate, or where he is actually assigned, has the right to conduct the examination. The examiners are the brothers designated by the prior provincial, or by the prior with his council, according to the statute of the province. The examination, however, may take place outside the convent of novitiate or of assignation. (C, n. 172; B, n. 251).
