The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER VII
Of Humility (cont.)
The second degree of humility is, when a man loveth not his own will, nor is pleased to fulfill his own desires but by his deeds carrieth our that word of the Lord which saith: "I came not to do My own will but the will of Him that sent Me" (Jn 6:3 . It is likewise said: "Self-will hath its punishment, but necessity winneth the crown."
