puellapaschalis Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 St. Scholastica is the saint of Benedictine women; SS Maurus and Placidus were monks under Benedict himself. Many of the "medieval" saintly religious (apologies for the historical inaccuracy; I mean before the foundation of the two main mendicant orders) would have been Benedictine as that was the default monastic setting over a huge chunk of Europe. My Benedictine patrons are: St. Benedict St. Scholastica St. Boniface (Englishman who brought the Gospel to much of present day Germany and the Netherlands; martyred by the Frisians at Dokkum, in my current diocese) St. Lioba (cousin of Boniface; a nun in England before being sent to establish monasteries on the continent at Boniface's request) St. Walburga (like Lioba, but a different person!) St. Hildegard of Bingen (German Abbess, mystic, author, preacher and general all-round kick-ass lady). Hope this helps a little, at least with Google-fodder!

memory-singer Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 [quote name='zunshynn' post='1020596' date='Jul 9 2006, 01:36 PM'] I was wondering if you Benedictine fans could help me out... The other day I was trying to think of Benedictine saints, and I couldn't think of any (I mean besides St. Benedict). Could you help me? lol I cant believe my ignorance!

[/quote] Edith Stein SO rocks. We have her in the "saints of every age"-gallery thing in our Cathedral (she represents the 20th century together with Titus Brandsma). It's a comforting thought that, secular and troubled though my country might be, we have loads of people up in the skies to help us pick up the pieces!

puellapaschalis Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Off-topic warning: Titus Brandsma was born in my diocese! Does this mean we can count Benedict XVI as an honourary Benedictine too? Love and prayers, PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellapaschalis Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Dear Benedictines on Phatmass: [size=7] [color="#3366FF"][b]Happy Feast Day!!![/b][/color][/size] (we're quite lucky, actually - today is the feast of Benedict in the universal church's calendar, but there are a bunch of days whereupon the Order celebrates our "Founder"; 21st March is another big one) May our Holy Father Benedict (the one in heaven with the book and raven, not the one in Rome! ) bless us especially today, and keep us faithful to the Regula in hastening towards our heavenly home.
