CHAPTER 29 Whether Brethren Who Leave the Monastery Should Be Received Again
Leonard J. (Leonard Joseph) Doyle translation
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.
