February 10, 2024, Memorial of St. Scholastica, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

On Feb. 10, the Catholic Church remembers St. Scholastica (480-547). She was the twin sister of St. Benedict, the "father of monasticism" in Western Europe. The twins' mother died at their birth. 
Under Benedict's direction, Scholastica founded a community of nuns near the great Benedictine monastery Monte Cassino.
Inspired by Benedict's teaching, Scholastica devoted her life to seeking and serving God.
When she passed away, Benedict saw in a vision the soul of his sister departed from her body, and in the likeness of a dove, ascend into heaven. He rejoiced with hymns and praise, giving thanks to God. 

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. Scholastica, Pray for Us!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!
