“Let the Office of Lauds and Vespers never terminate without the superior’s reciting the Lord’s prayer, while all listen, on account of the thorns of scandal which tend to crop up. Being warned by the commitment they make in the words, ‘Forgive us as we Forgive,’ they will chase this vice from their midst.” Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 13
