68th Rule of St. Benedict

If a Sister Is Commanded to Do Impossible Things
"If it happens that difficult or impossible tasks are laid on a sister, let her nevertheless receive the order of the one in authority with all meekness and obedience. But if she sees that the weight of the burden altogether exceeds the limit of her strength, let her submit the reasons for her inability to the one who is over her in a quiet way and at an opportune time, without pride, resistance, or contradiction. And if after these representations the Superior still persists in her decision and command,let the subject know that this is for her good, and let her obey out of love, trusting in the help of God".
