When anyone has made a mistake while reciting a Psalm, a responsory, an antiphon or a lesson, if he does not humble himself there before all by making a satisfaction, let him undergo a greater punishment because he would not correct by humility what he did wrong through carelessness. But boys for such faults shall be whipped.

Even the wisest and holiest of people make mistakes.

Acknowledgement and, if possible, correction is important.

I hope that Benedict would acknowledge and correct his error in sometimes dealing so harshly with the youngest of the monks.
