Definition:

A religious order of knight-hood, instituted about the year 1119, and so called because the members dwelt in a part of the temple of Jerusalem, and not far from the sepulcher of our Lord. They enter-tained Christian strangers and pilgrims char-ltably, and their profession was at first te defend travelers from highwaymen and rob* bers. The order was suppressed A. D. 1307, and their substance given partly to the knights of SL John of Jerusalem, and partly to other religious orders. Brown

Few words of positivity

In grief, part of the pain comes from our feeling that we should not suffer so - that it is fundamentally alien to our being, this even though we all suffer, and frequently. Yet we reject suffering as a basic human truth, while greeting joy as integral to our very substance.

Wendy Beckett, Sister Wendy's Meditations on Joy
