St. Benedict devotes extensive chapters to the abbot,
...the cellarer (the monastery’s bursar), the porter, the novice master, and other responsible people in the monastic community. We will read these chapters and seek to discover what spirit inspired our Holy Father Benedict and which aspects of it are relevant to us today, as we ourselves bear responsibility in various areas of our lives.
