I thought you might enjoy this quote passed on by a friend of a friend. I especially like the last line: “If he does not go, let two stout monks, in the name of God, explain the matter to him.” It gives the word “explain” a whole new feel, does it not?

If any pilgrim monk come from distant parts with wish as a guest to dwell in our monastery and will be content with the customs which he finds in this place, and do not perchance by his lavishness disturb the monastery, but is simply content with what he finds; he shall be received for as long a time as he wishes. If indeed he find fault with anything or expose it reasonably and with humility and charity, the Abbot shall discuss it prudently, lest perchance God has sent him for this very purpose. But if he has been found gossipy or divisive in the time of his sojourn as the guest, not only ought he not be joined in the body of the monastery, but also it shall be said to him honestly that he must depart. If he does not go, let two stout monks, in the name of God, explain the matter to him.
