Schedules of members of Opus Dei

By Margaret answering a question at Catholic Answers Forum

While we do keep a very demanding plan of life-- prayer, Mass, rosary, etc., the actual scheduling of it is determined by the individual.

There are no "rules" about what time the rosary or spiritual reading or whatever must be done at. Obviously, we are dependent on the schedule in the parish for Mass, and there are only a couple of day and time options for my circle each week, but those are the only truly fixed points on the calendar. Beyond that, we are each encouraged to tailor the plan of life so that it fits our lives and circumstances. A schedule that works really well for a surgeon, keeping a doctor's timeframe, would not work for a housewife like myself with a large family, and vice versa...
