SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Scholastica
DESCRIPTION:THE LIFE OF ST SCHOLASTICA \nFrom Butler’s Lives of the Saints7 \n◊◊◊ \nSt Scholastica\, who was St Benedict’s sister\, traditionally his twin\, \nconsecrated herself to God from her earliest years\, as we learn from St Gregory. \nIt is not known where she lived\, whether at home or in a community\, but after \nher brother had moved to Monte Cassino\, she settled at Plombariola in that \nsame neighborhood\, probably founding and ruling a nunnery about five miles \nto the south of St Benedict’s monastery. St. Gregory tells us that St. Benedict \ngoverned the nuns as well as the monks\, and it seems clear that St Scholastica \nmust have been their Abbess\, under his direction. She used to visit her brother \nonce a year and\, since she was not allowed to enter his monastery\, he used to go \nwith some monks to meet her at a house a little way off. They spent these visits \nin praising God and in conferring together on spiritual matters. \nSt. Gregory gives a remarkable description of the last of these visits. After \nthey had passed the day as usual they sat down in the evening to have supper. \nWhen it was finished\, Scholastica\, possibly foreseeing that it would be their last \nvisit in this world\, begged her brother to delay his return till the next day that \nthey might spend the time discoursing of the joys of Heaven. Benedict\, who was \nunwilling to transgress his rule\, told her that he could not pass a night away \nfrom the monastery. When Scholastica found that she could not move him\, she \nlaid her head upon her hands which were clasped together on the table and \nbesought God to interpose on her behalf. Her prayer was scarcely ended when \nthere arose such a violent storm of rain that St. Benedict and his companions \nwere unable to set foot outside the door. He exclaimed\, “God forgive you sister; \nwhat have you done?” Whereupon she answered\, “I asked a favor of you and \nyou refused it. I asked it of God\, and He has granted it.” Benedict was therefore \nforced to comply with her request\, and they spent the night talking about holy \nthings. The next morning they parted\, and three days later St. Benedict saw the \nsoul of his sister rising to heaven like a dove. \n  \n7 Butler’s Lives of the Saints \, pg 42\, edited by Michael Walsh – revised version \, Harper Collins\, San Francisco\, \n1991.15 \n  \n
