HAPPY DAY OF SAINT BENEDICT.

Once a year, the two would meet in a farmhouse to discuss spiritual matters. On their final visit, knowing she was close to death, Scholastica asked Benedict to stay the night so they could continue their holy conversation. Benedict refused, citing his Rule which forbade monks from spending the night outside the monastery. Scholastica bowed her head and prayed. Immediately, a violent storm erupted, making it impossible for Benedict to leave. When Benedict asked what she had done, she replied: "I asked you and you would not listen; so I asked my God and He did listen." St. Gregory the Great later wrote of this moment: "She could do more because she loved more."

Saint Benedict of Nursia. Feast day July 11th.

Deliver me, Jesus.

Anyways I’ll probably feel better in like an hour and be like “what was THAT girl talking about?”
