The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 34. Distribution Of Goods According To Need

(1) It is written: "Distribution was made to each one as he had need," (Acts 4:35).
(2) By this we do not imply that there should be favoritism — God forbid — but rather consideration for weaknesses.
(3) Whoever needs less should thank God and not be distressed,
(4) but whoever needs more should feel humble because of his weakness, not self important because of the kindness shown him.
(5) In this way all the members will be at peace.
(6) First and foremost, there must be no word or sign of the evil of grumbling, no manifestation of it for any reason at all.
(7) If, however anyone is caught grumbling, let him undergo more severe discipline.
