Novice Receives the Habit of the Benedictine Monks of the Immaculate (bmi) in Villatalla, Italy.
Brother Martial received the habit and became Bro. Joseph. The Father Prior first asked to let the postulant in. This latter expressed aloud his decision to devote all his life to God and to join the community. Following the example of Our Lord Jesus Christ who on Holy Thursday wanted to leave a last lesson of brotherly love to his disciples, the Father Prior knelt before the postulant and washed his feet while the choir sang the Ubi Caritas: "Where there is charity and love, God is there." Next, he stripped him of his lay clothes and put upon him the monastic habit, respectively symbols of the old and of the new man. The ceremony ended with the chant of Compline during which the novice intoned the short lesson for the first time: "Brethren: Be sober, be watchful! For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goes about seeking who he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith."
