St. Scholastica Comments
St. Scholastica, sister of St. Benedict, consecrated her life to God from her earliest youth. After her brother went to Monte Cassino, where he established his famous monastery, she took up her abode in the neighborhood at Plombariola, where she founded and governed a monastery of nuns, about five miles from that of St. Benedict, who, it appears, also directed his sister and her nuns. She visited her brother once a year, and as she was not ... Continue Reading

Good Afternoon St Scholastica,
I see that few write to you and that it was two weeks since I last wrote you about my Mama Stanislava and her 75th birthday. Tomorrow is Sunday, 10 February 2013, and it is your birthday (Feast Day) which I look forward to immensely. You hold a very special place in my heart and my life is so much more colorful and fragrant with you in it, and what a treat it is to share my life with you and for you to share your place in heaven with me.
This afternoon we will travel to Healesville, Victoria where we will enjoy a sumptuous dinner at a lovely little Thai restaurant the local folk rave about and you will be our guest of honour (in spirit, of course) and I will have the privilege of selecting a top range bottle of Australian white wine to enjoy with our meal. After dinner we will retire to our hotel where we will thank God for His ambundant love and protection, and we will sleep soundly throughout the peaceful night.
On your Feast Day (tomorrow) we will attend the 10:00 am Mass at the Tarrawarra Abbey and enjoy afterwards tea and buscuits with the Cistersian monks. They are all very friendly and eager for a jolly chat so it will be a grace-filled and chatty morning. The newspaper weather forecast for tomorrow will be clear skies and sunny day, and what more could we hope for.
LOVE is ALL
My Dearest St Scholastica,
Today, Friday 25 January 2013, is my mother's birthday. Mama Stanislava was born in Serbia in a middle of a bitter winter in the early hours of Wednesday, 25 January 1938, in a small mud house. The village is located in ther mountainous region of Serbia. I visited the irreparable mud house in 2009 and the only thing it is fit for are the chooks and a handful of roosters. I spent a few hours alone meditationg and soaking up the atmoshere of the site, a site where my mother breathed her first breath.
Out of the eleven born only four lived passed their teens. Death claimed seven of them before they reached their teens due to lack of medical facilities and the scourge of war, summary executions. My grandfather (mum's dad) and mum's two brothers were forced to dig their graves and shot. In fact, it was NAZI policy to liquidate the male population in partizan controlled areas.
Mama Stanislava survived the warwith her three sisters and all three are still alive. Two are living in Serbia and the other in Vienn, Austria whereas mum is the only one living in Australia. Life has been very harsh for my mother and she harbours many memories of severe deprivations and the mens cruelty to men. She managed to survive many trials and tribulations of life.
We came to Australia to start a new life in 1970 and we've never looked back. This is our home and here is where we want to die and be buried, and covered by the Australian soil. What greater gift can a son give his mother for her birthday than the invitation to you, St Scholastica, to pray for her.
GOD BLESS
I have to use this saint for a report and this really gave me a lot of information so thank you so much
Whoo Hoo! I found my Confirmation name! Thank St. Scholastica! You are awesome!
St Scholastica, I can write that my beloved mother Victoria, passed away 6 days after your feast day. May she rest in everlasting peace and heavenly happiness. What useless thoughts come to mind to cause regret or sorrow in the passing of a holy soul, I bring to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of the holy Eucharist. May she rest in you Dear Jesus. Jesus meek and humble of heart make my heart like unto thine. Sweet Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. Sweet Heart of Jesus be thou my love. Amen.
I will like to remain scholastica and even my Birthday date is 13th March thank u Lord for Making this day a great day in my life

Dear St. Scholastica,
I just want to let you know that this April I will be taking your name at my confirmation.
Dear St Scholastica, from personal experiences I testify to your power of prayer and the intense love of souls you possess for those who are lost and unloved, and all those poor souls without any hope. Timmy is such a soul who is lost and unloved and without any hope of a better life.Timmy is sadly a heroin addict in Sydney sleeping on the benches of public parks. Timmy is very intelligent and gifted in so many things, he's good with his hands such as painting, art, woodwork and even tailoring which his mother taught him as he was growing up. Dear Scholastica, where there is life thare is hope so please pray for Timmy that God will perform a small miracle and give him another chance at life, a life filled with meaning and purpose, a life of love and beauty. AMEN
Dear St. Scholastica, Please pray for me to overcome the temptations in my day to day life.
I have visited and prayed at their tombs at Monte Cassino. It is a lovely and holy place.
St. Scholastica, Please intercede for my son to receive the scholarship he competed for at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS, if this be in accordance with God's will. Thank you!
From d example of st. Sbholastical. I believed that even whem people reject us, when we pray to God with faith and trust we shall surely achieve our heart desires according to his Holy will
Its a lovely story about the power of God, learnt through it that God answers our prayers, if we pray to him with full faith and trust.It was nice to know that she is the patron saint of nuns and convulsive children and also we can invoke her whilst undergoing terrible storms in our lives.
