SAINT FEAST DAY 10 FEBRUARY: ST SCHOLASTICA, VIRGIN

SAINT SCHOLASTICA, VIRGIN

Saint Scholastica was born in Umbria in the late fifth century, the sister of Saint Benedict. She consecrated herself to God in early childhood, and lived near her brother’s monastery at Monte Cassino. Saint Gregory relates that, a few days after they spent the entire night talking about heavenly things due to a storm that prevented him from returning to the monastery, Saint Benedict saw the pure soul of his sister going up to heaven in the form of a dove. Saint Benedict died in 547; St Scholastica died shortly before him.

PRAYER:

Lord,

as we recall the memory of Saint Scholastica,

we ask that by her example

we may serve you with love and obtain perfect joy.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...

The Proprium of Passau relates his life story as follows: Saint Valentine came from the seashore and arrived at Batava, today's Passau. Here he wanted to proclaim the gospel to the inhabitants, who were ignorant of the true worship of God, and therefore went to Rome to obtain the necessary authority from the Pope for this undertaking. Upon his return, he invested much time and effort to gain those lost souls for Christ, as the Pope expected him to. Valentine himself thirsted for their salvation, incessantly preaching the Divine word to them. After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground.
