CHAPTER XII
36/90

Every day the brothers spent in work.

They did not toil at their own work, but at the work of the poor.

Wherever there were men overwhelmed with work, wherever there were sick people, orphans and widows, thither went the brothers, and there they toiled and nursed the people, accepting no remuneration.

And the angel of the Lord descended to them and blessed them.
On Monday they parted and each went his way.
