The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 67. Brothers Sent On A Journey

(1) Brothers sent on a journey will ask the abbot and community to pray for them.
(2) All absent brothers should always be remembered at the closing prayer of the Work of God.
(3) When they come back from a journey, they should on the very day of their return, lie face down on the floor of the oratory at the conclusion of each of the customary hours of the Work of God.
(4) They ask the prayers of all for their faults, in case they may have been caught off guard on the way by seeing some evil thing or hearing some idle talk.

(5) No one should presume to relate to anyone else what he saw or heard outside the monastery, because that causes the greatest harm.
(6) If anyone does so presume, he shall be subjected to the punishment of the rule.
(7) So too shall anyone who presumes to leave the enclosure of the monastery, or go anywhere, or do anything at all, how ever small, without the abbot's order.
