The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER LVI
Of the Abbot's Table
Let the Abbot's table always be with the guests and travelers. When, however,
there are no guests, let it be in his power to invite any of the brethren he
desireth. Let him provide, however, that one or two of the seniors always remain
with the brethren for the sake of discipline.
