He was ever among the first to go into the choir and the Common Refectory of the Brotherhood until his last sickness.

It had been his desire to die on this Feast because he had often celebrated it at the Altar of the Holy Cross, and according to his prayer so it was done unto him.

He often said to me, "The best dish that is set before me in the Refectory is the Holy Reading, the which I gladly hear: wherefore I do not absent myself willingly lest I should miss the fruit of that Holy Reading during the meal.

I delight also in the presence of the Brothers, in that I see the whole congregation there present taking their food under strict discipline." At length he was weighed down with years, and though he could not walk alone, he came leaning upon a staff to the entrance of the choir to hear the Brothers singing; then he took holy water, and bowed the knee toward the High Altar.

On the days when he celebrated he often received a special consolation from God Himself.
In the year of the Lord 1438, on the day after the Feast of St.Gregory the Pope, died Brother Rodolph, a Priest from Oetmeshem, who had been Prior of the House of St.Martin the Bishop, in Lunenkerc, in Frisia, near Herlinghen.
