The Guest Table

At home we would often have a steady stream of guests, especially for holidays. We always had enough for one more. There would many times be an adult/guest table and a kid table.

The monastery is not much different. The prioress or Abbot usually dines with the guests along with a few of the community members. No one is envious of the guest table since eventually everyone gets a chance to eat there. All enjoy the presence of the guest.
