Dear Brothers,

The story is told of a monastery governed by a wise and virtuous abbot who presided over a small group of monks. As the years passed, the number of monks declined as each aged and passed away, while fewer young men joined the order. Finally, only a handful of brothers remained and the abbot was deeply troubled.
