Brother H had a cold just as Holy Week was approaching. Not wishing to deprive his congregation of spiritual nourishment during the holiest week of the year, he decided to tape his homily before completely losing his voice. At Mass a few days later, when it was time for the homily, he turned on the tape recorder and sat down while the recording played.

At the end of the recording, Brother H made no move to turn off the recorder. In fact, he made no move at all. Finally, the server was forced to nudge Brother, who had gone to sleep during his own homily.

Brother M, who was making a name for himself as a writer and speaker in the area of social justice, was visiting a monastery in New York. After being introduced to one of the younger brothers of the cloister, the young brother asked Brother M what he did in the Order.

Brother M: I live the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Young brother: Well, la-di-fucking-da. So do I.
