* Monday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time * Memorial of St. Scholastica, 480-542; twin sister of St. Benedict; founded a religious community for women near Monte Cassino, where Benedict governed; the twins visited each other once per year; on their final visit, Scholastica sensed that he death was near, and asked Benedict to stay until the next morning; he refused, so Scholastica asked God to make it happen--which resulted in a severe thunderstorm; three days later, Benedict, in prayer, saw the soul of his sister rising heavenward * Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 2/10/25 * Gospel: Mark 6:53-56
