Happy Feast Day!Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Schoalstica! The hallways are filled with sisters wishing each other a "Happy Feast" as we join each other in prayer, work and meals. The community honors this feast as a solemnity with chanted first Vespers, Lauds, Mass and second Vespers all celebrated in Bishop Marty Chapel.
"Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one: Come, come my beloved! See that the winter, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone. Come, come my beloved."
Vespers II Antiphon
Our statue of Saint Scholastica reaches out to across our windswept hilltop shrine. It is a peaceful place to pray, but a bit chilly in February.
"Love is a fire no waters avail to quench, no floods to drown it; those who love will give up all that they have in the world, and think nothing of their loss."
Vespers I Antiphon
Blessings,
More on the feast tomorrow...

She is beautiful!
She and her brother Benedict are standing opposite each other in our 'backyard'. She is reaching out to him and he is blessing her...one of my favorite places to pray during the warmer seasons.
