The patroness of our parish St. Scholastica
The Feast of St. Scholastica February 10th
St. Scholastica, the patroness of our parish, was born about 480 in Italy. She is the twin sister of St. Benedict, the father of Western Monasticism. Both brother and sister sought to place God at the very center of their lives. Benedict founded the Monastery of Monte Cassino and Scholastica founded a community for nuns.
The little that we know of Scholastica is written by Pope Gregory the Great. He relates an instance when Scholastica went to visit her brother and both were talking about their spiritual life. It was time to return to his monastery, but Scholastica pleaded that he stay and continue their dialogue. Benedict would not relent, so Scholastica prayed that God would keep her brother there. A rain storm arose and Benedict could not return to his monastery. He was upset with his sister and she responded that what you would not grant to me, our loving God did.
By some spiritual writers, Scholastica is referred to as the Patron Saint of right relationships. She knew how to prioritize her life. Her love for God was first in everything. Her service and work was a manifestation of her first love.

Help my unbelief
Dear God, help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief.
