The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 2. Qualities Of The Abbot

(1) To be worthy of the task of governing a monastery, the abbot must always remember what his title signifies and act as a superior should.
(2) He is believed to hold the place of Christ in the monastery, since he is addressed by a title of Christ,
(3) as the Apostle indicates, "You have received the sprit of adoption of sons by which we exclaim, abba, father," (Rom 8:15).
(4) Therefore, the abbot must never teach or decree or command anything that would deviate from the Lord's instructions.
(5) On the contrary, everything he teaches and commands should, like the leaven of divine justice, permeate the minds of his disciples.
