DESCRIPTION:<i>Those excommunicated for serious faults from the oratory and
  from the table are to prostrate themselves in silence at the oratory entr
 ance at the end of the celebration of the Opus Dei. They should lie face d
 own at the feet of all as they leave the oratory\, and let them do this un
 til the prioress or abbot judges they have made satisfaction. Next\, at th
 e bidding of the prioress or abbot\, they are to prostrate themselves at t
 he feet of the prioress or abbot\, then at the feet of all that they may p
 ray for them. Only then\, if the prioress or abbot orders\, should they be
  admitted to the choir in the rank the prioress or abbot assigns. Even so\
 , they should not presume to lead a psalm or a reading or anything else in
  the oratory without further instructions from the prioress or abbot. In a
 ddition\, at all the hours\, as the Opus Dei is being completed\, they mus
 t prostrate themselves in the place they occupy. They will continue this f
 orm of satisfaction until the prioress or abbot again bids them cease.\n\n
 Those excommunicated for less serious faults from the table only are to ma
 ke satisfaction in the oratory for as long as the prioress or abbot orders
