0:39:10 > 0:39:16The rule of our Holy Father, St Benedict, Chapter the 38th -

0:39:16 > 0:39:17The Weekly Reader.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22During meals, there shall be complete silence,

0:39:22 > 0:39:25disturbed by no whispering.

0:39:25 > 0:39:29Nor should anyone's voice be heard except the reader's.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34Everyone in the community should be attentive to

0:39:34 > 0:39:37the needs of their neighbours as they eat and drink,

0:39:37 > 0:39:41so that there should be no need for anyone to ask for what they require.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47However, if such a need should arise, there should be agreed

0:39:47 > 0:39:50signs for such requests,

0:39:50 > 0:39:53so as to avoid the sound of voices.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57No-one should venture to ask a question about the reading

0:39:57 > 0:40:02during the meal times, nor about anything else,

0:40:02 > 0:40:05for fear of provoking a breakdown in silence.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Chapter the 39th -

0:40:15 > 0:40:18The Amount Of Food To Be Made Available.

0:40:20 > 0:40:25Whether the main meal each day is at noon or in mid-afternoon,

0:40:25 > 0:40:28two cooked dishes on every table should be enough to

0:40:28 > 0:40:32allow for differences of taste, so that those who feel

0:40:32 > 0:40:36unable to eat from one may be satisfied with the other.

0:40:38 > 0:40:43Two dishes, then, should be enough for the needs of all, but if there

0:40:43 > 0:40:47is a supply of fruit and fresh vegetables available,

0:40:47 > 0:40:49a third may be added.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54The full pound of bread every day for each

0:40:54 > 0:40:59member of the community should be enough, both on days when there is

0:40:59 > 0:41:05only one meal and on those when there is a supper as well as dinner.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09If the community is to have supper, the cellarer must retain

0:41:09 > 0:41:13a third of each one's bread ration to give them at supper.

0:41:15 > 0:41:20Ye must always be careful, however, to avoid excessive eating,

0:41:20 > 0:41:24which might also cause indigestion.

0:41:24 > 0:41:29Nothing is so opposed to Christian values as overeating,

0:41:29 > 0:41:32as we can see from the words of our Lord -

0:41:32 > 0:41:36"Take care that your hearts are not weighed down by overeating."
