Soliloquy in an International Cloister

Watch your step as Brother Lawrence takes you inside the monastery walls of a five hundred year-old international order. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish you had ignored your hormones and joined the monastery.

Legenda fratrum, pars XXIII

Another true (or only slightly embellished) tale of the brothers.

Brother Gabriel was phoning the other monasteries to inform the brothers that Brother Alphonsus passed away during lunch that day.

Brother Taciturnus: Had he eaten his dessert yet?

Brother Gabriel (slightly puzzled): Well, yes, I guess he had.

Brother Taciturnus: Trust him to get every last bite out of the Order!
