Chapter 34: Fair provision for the needs of all
It should simply be a way of showing proper consideration for needs arising from individual weakness.
(From Ch. 34 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)
What do I think St. Benedict could mean by "proper consideration", except selfless attention? My experience of loving attention to another's weakness is that it leads to kindness.

Understanding others weakness and needs is struggle for me especially, with family. This is a reminder that indeed I need to be aware and take care with my judgments and relationships.
