Please remember St. Scholastica's Priory & St. Mary's Monastery in Petersham, MA as they journey toward a new chapter in their history. Their sisters from Tickfaw are moving up to merge the two communities just after Easter. It's an exciting and extremely busy time for all - so much work and so much joy all bunched together. St. Scholastica, be with your daughters and sons as they take this next step in their monastic journey. St. Scholasica, pray for us that the Lord will answer our prayers with STORMS OF LOVE for each other and of course, for Him. Pax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) It's pretty clear St. Scholastica was an Italian lady...if she were Dutch there's no way she would have needed to [i]pray for rain[/i] (or snow)...but then if they had been Dutch, St. Benedict would have taken an umbrella [url="http://saintbenedict.org/stscholastica.htm"][img]http://saintbenedict.org/scholastica.jpg[/img][/url] Edited February 10, 2009 by puellapaschalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellapaschalis Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Oh yes - and his way of dealing with sexual temptation. Anyone else would have had a cold shower, but oh no, this Italian had to be dramatic about it and throw himself into a bush of stinging nettles...

puellapaschalis Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 stlmom, I'm ashamed to say I have no idea. However, I am not ashamed about polishing off the rest of the ice cream. Yay St. Scholastica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
