Historical grant: suitable time in prayer; current renewal unverified
No fixed number of minutes is prescribed. The photographed historical decree required suitable prayer time and the Our Father and Creed. This timing does not establish current eligibility after the seven-year term elapsed.
What the time estimate excludes
- Ordinary travel to and from the venue, and waiting outside the prescribed work
- Preparation and separately fulfilled sacramental conditions, except where the prescribed work itself includes Communion or a liturgical celebration
