| Saint Scholastica Lost Angeles County Museum of Art |
History
Both Scholastica and her twin brother,
Saint Benedict, dedicated their lives to God. Scholastica started a monastery for women about five miles away from Benedict's monastery. They were both so busy, they only saw each other once a year to pray together
and talk about God. Once, it was time for Benedict to go back to his monastery,
but Scholastica wanted him to stay. She prayed that God would keep Benedict
with her one more day, and a terrible thunderstorm started raging so he had to
spend the night. This is why many people ask Saint Scholastic to pray for them
if they are stuck in a storm.
Activity
The prayer and conversations that
Benedict and Scholastica shared helped both of them grow in their faith in God.
Today, have a chat with one of your siblings (or a parent or cousin) about God.
