St. Scholastica (10 February): One Soul with Saint Benedict | Image of Mary Co-Redemptrix

About this sermon

On this third class feast of Saint Scholastica, virgin and sister of Saint Benedict, we reflect on one of the most moving examples of holy love, obedience, and prayer in the life of the Church. Saint Scholastica embraced the Rule of her brother Saint Benedict and became the foundress of the Benedictine nuns. In a well-known episode recorded by Saint Gregory the Great, her prayer brought forth a storm that prevented Saint Benedict from departing — a sign that love rooted in God is stronger than human discipline. Three days later, Saint Benedict beheld the soul of his sister ascending to Heaven in the form of a dove, and he laid her body in the tomb prepared for himself. As Saint Gregory wrote: “As they had ever been one soul in God, their bodies were united in the same grave.” Saint Scholastica and Saint Benedict were truly one soul and one heart, offering us a profound image of Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and New Eve, whose two Hearts were offered together for our redemption.
