The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER XXXV
Of the Weekly Servers in the Kitchen
Let the brethren serve each other so that no one be excused from the work in
the kitchen, except on account of sickness or more necessary work, because
greater merit and more charity is thereby acquired. Let help be given to the
weak, however, that they may not do this work with sadness; but let all have
help according to the size of the community and the circumstances of the
place. If the community is large, let the Cellarer be excused from the
kitchen, or if, as we have said, any are engaged in more urgent work; let
the rest serve each other in charity.
Let him who is to go out of the weekly service, do the cleaning on Saturday.
Let him wash the towels with which the brethren wipe their hands and feet.
Let him who goeth out, as well as him who is to come in, wash the feet of
all. Let him return the utensils of his department to the Cellarer clean and
whole. Let the Cellarer give the same to the one who cometh in, so that he
may know what he giveth and what he receiveth back.
Martyrology-March 14th
Roman Martyrology-March 14th-on this date in various years-
At Rome, in the Veranian Field, St. Leo, bishop and martyr.
Also at Rome, the birthday of forty-seven holy martyrs who were baptized by
