Excerpt: ...crucifixes, for were they not told to crucify the flesh with its affections and lusts, to remain upon their voluntary crosses till Christ said, "Come down. Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord"? And were they doing this?

Now, on my way I saw a vision: we rested at a holy house of God, where be many brethren who strive to glorify Him, according to the rule of Saint Benedict.
