The trouble is, this bon mot is partially lost in a lump of sludge that serves me for a brain. I am hopeful that a worldly reader will fill in the gaps.
Question: What five things will you not find in a monastery?
Answer:
A quiet Dominican
A humble Benedictine
A clean Franciscan
plus two more....help!
I have an idea that the missing two orders are Jesuits and Carmelites...could be interesting guessing at the adjective that is required....unless you are a Jesuit or a Carmelite!
Memory seems to guide me to Honest and Truthful but I may be doing both orders a disservice......all suggestions gratefully received.
More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. Corinthians 12:7-10
