ONE Lord's day a loud cry was heard beyond the above-mentioned Sound of which I speak so often. As soon as the saint heard it, he said to the brethren who were then with him, ‘Go directly and bring here before us at once the strangers that have now arrived from a distant land.’ They went accordingly and ferried the strangers across. The saint, after embracing them, asked them at once the object of their journey. In reply they said, ‘We are come to reside with thee for this year.’ The saint replied, ‘With me, as you say, you cannot reside for a year, unless you take first the monastic vow.’ When those who were present heard these words addressed to strangers who were only newly arrived they wondered very much. But the elder brother, in answer to the saint's remarks, replied, ‘Although we never up to the present hour entertained the thought before, yet we shall follow thy advice, believing that it cometh from God.’ What more need I say? That very moment they entered the chapel with the saint, and on bended knees devoutly took the monastic vow. The saint then turned to his monks and said, ‘These two strangers who are presenting themselves 'a living sacrifice to God,' and within a short time are fulfilling a long time of Christian warfare, shall pass away in peace this very month to Christ our Lord.’ The two brothers, on hearing this, gave thanks to God, and were led away to the guest room. After seven days the elder brother fell sick, and departed to the Lord in the course of that week. After other seven days the other brother also fell sick, and within the same week passed to the Lord with joy, so that, according to the truthful prophecy of the saint, both closed their fires in this world within the space of one month.
