Monks' Rules (Author: Columbanus Hibernus)

Rule 12

12

If any excites anger in his brother and afterwards makes it up to him, and the other does not forgive him but sends him to his senior, he who has excited anger, twenty-four psalms, and the other, one day on bread and water. If any has wanted something and the overseer forbids and the abbot orders, five days. If any has not come to prayer at table and after food, let him sing twelve psalms. If any has slept while prayer is made, if often, twelve psalms, if not often, six psalms. If any does not say Amen, thirty lashes. If he has omitted an hour, fifteen psalms, songs of degrees, except for the morning hour in winter, twelve psalms. And he who has not heard the call to prayers, twelve psalms. If any comes to the sacrifice and his night girdle or garment around him, twelve psalms.
