St. Scholastica and her twin brother, St. Benedict. Looks rather mischievous, doesn't she? Then again, she did pray for a storm to get him to bend the monastic rule so they could converse together a bit longer.
O Lord, by the example and
intercession of St. Scholastica,
who was filled with innocent faith,
hoped in the goods of heaven,
and ever burned with love for her Spouse,
may the dryness of our hearts
be moistened with the dew of divine grace
and may we enter into Your eternal joys,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
