The measure of excommunication or of chastisement should correspond to the degree of fault, which degree is estimated by the judgment of the Abbess. If a sister is found guilty of lighter faults,let her be excluded from the common table. Now the program for one deprived of the company of the table shall be as follows: In the oratory she shall intone neither Psalm nor antiphon nor shall she recite a lesson until she has made satisfaction; in the refectory she shall take her food alone after the community meal, so that if they eat at the sixth hour, for instance, that sister shall eat at the ninth, while if they eat at the ninth hour she shall eat in the evening, until by a suitable satisfaction she obtains pardon.

Holding others accountable is not a strength of mine.

In both my personal and professional capacities I tend to excuse more than exclude.

This is, I suppose, mostly because I can easily empathize with the failure of the other.

I value self-critique and self-awareness. The honest response of others can help cultivate these skills. I ought to do better engaging the other in times of trouble.

As Benedict demonstrates to chastise need not mean to exclude.

Above is St. Benedict presents the rule by Turino di Vanni.
