| Santa Scolastica, ora pro nobis |
February 10th is the Feast of Santa Scolastica (c. 480-February 10, 543), Virgin and Foundress of the Benedictine Sisters. Twin sister of San Benedetto da Nursia, she consecrated herself to God at an early age. Santa Scolastica is the patron saint of Benedictine nuns, schools, learning and convulsive children. She is also invoked against storms and is the protectress of Sant'Omero in Provincia di Teramo, Abruzzo. In celebration, I’m posting a Prayer to St. Scholastica. The accompanying photo was taken during my 2007 pilgrimage to Abbey of Monte Cassino in Southern Italy. Evviva Santa Scolastica!
Prayer to Saint Scholastica
As we celebrate anew the Memorial of the Virgin Saint Scholastica, we pray, O Lord, that, following her example, we may serve you with pure love and happily receive what comes from loving you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
