The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 31. Qualifications Of The Monastery Cellarer

(1) As cellarer of the monastery, there should be chosen from the community someone who is wise, mature in conduct, temperate, not an excessive eater, not proud, excitable, offensive, dilatory or wasteful,

(2) but God-fearing, and like a father to the whole community.

(3) He will take care of everything,

(4) but will do nothing without an order from the abbot.

(5) Let him keep to his orders.

(6) He should not annoy the brothers.

(7) If any brother happens to make an unreasonable demand of him, he should not reject him with disdain and cause him distress, but reasonably and humbly deny the improper request.

(8) Let him keep watch over his own soul, ever mindful of that saying of the Apostle: "He who serves well secures a good standing for himself," (1 Tim 3:13).

(9) He must show every care and concern for the sick, children, guests and poor, knowing for certain that he will be held accountable for all of them on the day of judgement.

(10) He will regard all utensils and goods of the monastery as sacred vessels of the altar,

(11) aware that nothing is to be neglected.

(12) He should not be prone to greed, nor be wasteful and extravagant with the goods of the monastery, but should do everything with moderation and according to the abbot's orders.
