St. Scholastica
Scholastica was the sister of St. Benedict. St. Gregory testifies that she consecrated herself to God from early youth. After her brother moved to Monte Cassino she chose a site five miles lower down on the mountain for a convent for the Sisters under her guidance. Once a year she visited St. Benedict in his monastery. They spent their time together praising God and conferring on spiritual matters.
On the occasion of St. Benedict’s last visit to his sister. She urged him to remain until the following day. Unwilling to transgress his Rule, St. Benedict told her he could not pass a night away from his monastery. Realizing that he was resolved to leave, Scholastica begged God to intervene in her behalf. Scarcely had she ended her prayer when a violent storm arose, which prevented St. Benedict and his companions from leaving.
Faith Can Move Mountains
He complained to his sister, saying: “God forgive you, sister. What have you done?” She replied: “I asked you a favor and you refused it; I asked it of Almighty God and He has granted it to me”. St. Benedict was therefore obliged to comply with her request. They conversed on holy subjects; especially on the happiness of the blessed, to which both ardently aspired, and which Scholastica was soon to enjoy.
Three days later as St. Benedict was alone in contemplation on Monte Cassino, as he raised his eyes heavenwards he saw the soul of his sister ascending in the shape of a dove. Filled with joy at her happy passage, St. Benedict informed his brethren of her death and sent some of them to bring her remains to his monastery, which he laid in the tomb that he had prepared for himself.
Each day you wear the St. Scholastica meal you are inspired to follow the steadfast example of Saint Scholastica in living a holy life dedicated to the glory of God. May we be reminded that faith can truly move mountains.
