attività di studio e preghiera

Activities that are performed inside a seminary in this case; how do you phrase this? It's about someone's need to escape from "le attività di studio e preghiera"....I thought about duties but I cannot put it all together....

Can you just leave it out? And just say studying and praying?

 

[entrapta]

I guess I could...

Does it also include cleaning and boring tasks like that?

 

[rrose17]

On second thought, you could leave it out, or say activities. Routine, maybe? The routine of studying and prayer. Drudgery is a good word but perhaps is too far from the original.

No there is no reference to menial work, although I'm sure there was/still is but it's just the duties of studying the scriptures and praying.

Then I think Rose's first thought is the right way to go here....
