St. Scholastica, Virgin (10 February) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On February 10, Holy Mother Church honors Saint Scholastica, virgin and sister of Saint Benedict, the great patriarch of Western monasticism. In this profound meditation from Dom Prosper Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, we enter deeply into the mystery of holy charity, monastic love, and the triumph of divine love over rigid observance. Saint Scholastica, humble daughter of the cloister, is revealed by Saint Gregory the Great as a soul whose love was stronger than rule, whose tears drew rain from a cloudless sky, and whose prayer prevailed because “she loved more.” Her final encounter with Saint Benedict teaches the Church that God is Charity, and that love, when rooted in God, possesses true spiritual power. This reading includes: The account from Saint Gregory’s Dialogues The Monastic Office for Saint Scholastica Sacred hymns and antiphons A mystical meditation on charity, obedience, and heaven The famous vision of Scholastica’s soul rising as a dove As we prepare for Easter, Saint Scholastica reminds us that the nuptial garment required for the heavenly banquet is union of heart, fraternal charity, and love of God above all things. 📖 “Whereas Saint John tells us that God is Charity… she that had the stronger love had the stronger power.” 0:00 – February 10: Saint Scholastica, Virgin 0:47 – Martyrdom and Monastic Combat 1:02 – Saint Scholastica and Saint Benedict 1:49 – The Dove and the Soul’s Ascent 2:13 – Portrait by Saint Gregory the Great 3:22 – “She That Loved More Had More Power” 4:01 – Charity and the Easter Mystery 4:26 – Saint Gregory’s Account Begins 5:12 – Scholastica’s Prayer and the Storm 6:48 – A Night of Heavenly Conversation 7:05 – The Vision of the Dove 7:35 – Monastic Office: Responsories & Antiphons 9:10 – Scholastica’s Glorious Departure 10:20 – Benedictine Hymns for the Feast 11:36 – The Second Hymn 12:30 – Mystical Prayer to Saint Scholastica 14:09 – Charity Above Rule 15:30 – Intercession and Repentance 16:23 – Prayer for Benedictine Restoration https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/february/february-10-st-scholastica-virgin/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
