Benedict, Saint, Abbot of Monte Cassino and Doyle, Leonard J. (Leonard Joseph)
For the care of the monastery’s property in tools, clothing and other articles let the Abbot appoint brethren on whose manner of life and character he can rely; and let him, as he shall judge to be expedient, consign the various articles to them, to be looked after and to be collected again. The Abbot shall keep a list of these articles, so that as the brethren succeed one another in their assignments he may know what he gives and what he receives back.
If anyone treats the monastery’s property in a slovenly or careless way, let him be corrected. If he fails to amend, let him undergo the discipline of the Rule.
