The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 35. Kitchen Servers Of The Week

(1) The brothers should serve one another. Consequently, no one will be excused from kitchen service unless he is sick or engaged in some important business of the monastery,
(2) for such service increases reward and fosters love.
(3) Let those who are not strong have help so that they may serve without distress,
(4) and let everyone receive help as the size of the community or local conditions warrant.
(5) If the community is rather large, the cellarer should be excused from kitchen service, and, as we have said, those should also be excused who are engaged in important business.
(6) Let all the rest serve one another in love.

(7) On Saturday the brother who is completing his work will do the washing.
(8) He is to wash the towels which the brothers use to wipe their hands and feet.
(9) Both the one who is ending his service and the one who is about to begin are to wash the feet of everyone.
(10) The utensils required for the kitchen service are to be washed and returned intact to the cellarer,
(11) who in turn issues them to the one beginning his week. In this way the cellarer will know what he hands out and what he receives back.
