time, the candidate should examine whether she is attracted to this type of life

and whether it is suitable to her.

The directoress should also diligently consider whether or not the person in question is suitable

for this type of life.

After a year, if the postulant shows evidence of a stable will and an earnest desire to serve God, she should be admitted to the novitiate.
