Whether Brethren Who Leave the Monastery Should Be Received Again
Mar. 6—July 6—Nov. 5
If a brother who through his own fault leaves the monastery should wish
to return, let him first promise full reparation for his having gone
away; and then let him be received in the lowest place, as a test of his
humility. And if he should leave again, let him be taken back again, and
so a third time; but he should understand that after this all way of
return is denied him.
