Translations for community in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

There are many stories related of him, and among them this. After a wild youth, he had retired into a convent, there to expiate, at least for some time, the follies of adolescence. On entering this holy place, the poor penitent was unable to shut the door so close as to prevent the passions he fled from entering with him. He was incessantly attacked by them, and the superior, to whom he had confided this misfortune, wishing as much as in him lay to free him from them, had advised him, in order to conjure away the tempting demon, to have recourse to the bell rope, and ring with all his might. At the denunciating sound, the monks would be rendered aware that temptation was besieging a brother, and all the community would go to prayers.

On racontait de lui certaines histoires, entre autres celle-ci : Après une jeunesse orageuse, il s’était retiré dans un couvent pour y expier au moins pendant quelque temps les folies de l’adolescence. Mais, en entrant dans ce saint lieu, le pauvre pénitent n’avait pu refermer si vite la porte, que les passions qu’il fuyait n’y entrassent avec lui. Il en était obsédé sans relâche, et le supérieur, auquel il avait confié cette disgrâce, voulant autant qu’il était en lui l’en garantir, lui avait recommandé pour conjurer le démon tentateur de recourir à la corde de la cloche et de la tirer à toute volée. Au bruit dénonciateur, les moines seraient prévenus que la tentation assiégeait un frère, et toute la communauté se mettrait en prières.
