At the door of the monastery, place a sensible old man who knows how to take a message and deliver a reply.”
(Rule of St. Benedict – Chapter 66)
If there are craftsmen in the monastery, let them practice their crafts with all humility. If any of the work of the craftsmen is to be sold…let them always remember…that in all things God may be glorified.”
(Rule of St. Benedict – Chapter 57)
