Monday of the Fifth week in Ordinary Time
1st book of Kings 8:1-7.9-13.

Monday of the Fifth week in Ordinary Time
1st book of Kings 8:1-7.9-13.
The elders of Israel and all the leaders of the tribes, the princes in the ancestral houses of the children of Israel, came to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD's covenant from the City of David, which is Zion.
All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon during the festival in the month of Ethanim (the seventh month).
When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark;
they carried the ark of the LORD and the meeting tent with all the sacred vessels that were in the tent. (The priests and Levites carried them.)
King Solomon and the entire community of Israel present for the occasion sacrificed before the ark sheep and oxen too many to number or count.
The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place beneath the wings of the cherubim in the sanctuary, the holy of holies of the temple.
The cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark, sheltering the ark and its poles from above.
There was nothing in the ark but the two stone tablets which Moses had put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites at their departure from the land of Egypt.
When the priests left the holy place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD
so that the priests could no longer minister because of the cloud, since the LORD'S glory had filled the temple of the LORD.
Then Solomon said, "The LORD intends to dwell in the dark cloud;
I have truly built you a princely house, a dwelling where you may abide forever."
Psalms 132(131):6-7.8-10.
"We have heard of it in Ephrathah;
we have found it in the fields of Jaar.
Let us enter God's dwelling;
let us worship at God's footstool."
"Arise, LORD, come to your resting place,
you and your majestic ark.
Your priests will be clothed with justice;
your faithful will shout for joy."
For the sake of David your servant,
do not reject your anointed.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 6:53-56.
After making the crossing to the other side of the sea, Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there.
As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him.
They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.
Commentary of the day : Saint Faustina Kowalska
"As many as touched [the tassel on his cloak] were healed"

Santa Scolastica Vergine
10 febbraio
Il nome di Scolastica, sorella di Benedetto da Norcia, richiama al femminile gli inizi del monachesimo occidentale, fondato sulla stabilità della vita in comune. Benedetto invita a servire Dio non già "fuggendo dal mondo" verso la solitudine o la penitenza itinerante, ma vivendo in comunità durature e organizzate, e dividendo rigorosamente il proprio tempo fra preghiera, lavoro o studio e riposo. Da giovanissima, Scolastica si è consacrata al Signore col voto di castità. Più tardi, quando già Benedetto vive a Montecassino con i suoi monaci, in un altro monastero della zona lei fa vita comune con un gruppetto di donne consacrate.
La Chiesa ricorda Scolastica come santa, ma di lei sappiamo ben poco. L’unico testo quasi contemporaneo che ne parla è il secondo libro dei Dialoghi di papa Gregorio Magno (590-604). Ma i Dialoghi sono soprattutto composizioni esortative, edificanti, che propongono esempi di santità all’imitazione dei fedeli mirando ad appassionare e a commuovere, senza ricercare il dato esatto e la sicura referenza storica. Inoltre, Gregorio parla di lei solo in riferimento a Benedetto, solo all’ombra del grande fratello, padre del monachesimo occidentale.
Ecco la pagina in cui li troviamo insieme. Tra loro è stato convenuto di incontrarsi solo una volta all’anno. E Gregorio ce li mostra appunto nella Quaresima (forse) del 542, fuori dai rispettivi monasteri, in una casetta sotto Montecassino. Un colloquio che non finirebbe più, su tante cose del cielo e anche della terra. L’Italia del tempo è una preda contesa tra i Bizantini del generale Belisario e i Goti del re Totila, devastata dagli uni e dagli altri. Roma s’è arresa ai Goti per fame dopo due anni di assedio, in Italia centrale gli affamati masticano erbe e radici. A Montecassino passano vincitori e vinti; passa Totila attratto dalla fama di Benedetto, e passano le vittime della violenza, i portatori di tutte le disperazioni, gli assetati di speranza...
Viene l’ora di separarsi. Scolastica vorrebbe prolungare il colloquio, ma Benedetto rifiuta: la Regola non s’infrange, ciascuno torni a casa sua. Allora Scolastica si raccoglie intensamente in preghiera, ed ecco scoppiare un temporale violentissimo che blocca tutti nella casetta. Così il colloquio può continuare per un po’ ancora. Infine, fratello e sorella con i loro accompagnatori e accompagnatrici si separano; e questo sarà il loro ultimo incontro.
Tre giorni dopo, leggiamo nei Dialoghi, Benedetto apprende la morte della sorella vedendo la sua anima salire verso l’alto in forma di colomba. I monaci scendono allora a prendere il suo corpo, dandogli sepoltura nella tomba che Benedetto ha fatto preparare per sé a Montecassino; e dove sarà deposto anche lui, morto in piedi sorretto dai suoi monaci, intorno all’anno 547.

10 Février Sainte Scolastique Vierge (480-543)
Sainte Scolastique était la soeur de saint Benoît, patriarche des moines d'Occident. Jeune encore, elle fit, au foyer paternel, de grands progrès dans la vertu. Loin d'imiter les illusions des filles du siècle, elle méprisa la beauté, les richesses, l'alliance des plus grands princes pour s'allier à Jésus-Christ. Suivre Benoît dans la solitude était son unique aspiration. Elle se consacra à Dieu dès sa plus tendre jeunesse, et elle se rapprocha de son saint frère, quand il se fut établi au Mont-Cassin, afin de profiter de ses leçons et de ses exemples.
Benoît ne consentait à voir sa soeur qu'une fois par an, avant le carême, et alors la Sainte sortait de son cloître, et le frère, de son côté, allait au-devant de la soeur; ils se rejoignaient sur le flanc de la montagne, et on voit encore le petit sanctuaire érigé, croit-on, sur les ruines de la chaumière où saint Benoît et sainte Scolastique eurent leur suprême entretien resté si célèbre.
Le 9 février 543, Scolastique était allée visiter son frère, comme de coutume. La journée se passa dans de saints entretiens, et la nuit arriva sans qu'ils s'en aperçussent. "Il est trop tard pour vous retirer, dit la Sainte à son frère; parlons jusqu'à l'aurore des joies de la vie céleste.
-- Que dites-vous là, ma soeur? reprit Benoît; je ne puis passer la nuit hors de mon couvent."
Scolastique, affligée de ce refus, se pencha sur la table, et, la tête entre ses mains, pria Dieu en versant d'abondantes larmes. Sa prière fut si promptement exaucée, que le tonnerre grondait déjà quand elle releva la tête, et que la pluie tombait par torrents, bien que le ciel fût auparavant serein et sans nuage: "Qu'avez-vous fait, ma soeur? dit l'homme de Dieu.
-- Je vous ai supplié, dit Scolastique, et vous n'avez pas voulu m'écouter; j'ai invoqué Notre-Seigneur, et voilà qu'Il m'exauce."
Dans l'impossibilité de sortir, Benoît resta par force; les deux Saints veillèrent toute la nuit, s'entretenant du bonheur des élus. Le lendemain, la pieuse vierge retourna à son couvent, et, Benoît à son monastère; mais le troisième jour, l'homme de Dieu, dans sa cellule, élevant les yeux en haut, vit l'âme de sa soeur s'envoler dans les airs sous la forme d'une colombe.
Benoît voulut faire déposer le corps de sa soeur dans le tombeau qu'il avait préparé pour lui, afin que leurs corps fussent unis dans la mort comme leurs âmes l'avaient été dans la vie.

moderner Bronzeguss: Scholastika mit Taube und Lilienzweig, am Eingang zum Kloster Montecassino
Scholastika, die (Zwillings- ?) Schwester von Benedikt von Nursia, wurde schon als Kind Gott geweiht. Sie lebte im Kloster in Subiaco, dann beim Kloster Montecassino, von wo aus sie einmal im Jahr ihren Bruder besuchte.
Eines Tages besuchte Benedikt seine Schwester; sie bat ihn, einige Tage bei ihr zu bleiben, was er ablehnte, da dies gegen seine Mönchsregel verstoßen hätte. Da bat Scholastika Gott, er möge ein Unwetter schicken, das Benedikt an der Heimkehr hindere. Tatsächlich kam das Unwetter, Benedikt musste sich gegen die Befolgung seiner Regel und für die Zuwendung zu seiner Schwester entscheiden. In andächtigen Gesprächen über die Freuden des Himmels verbrachten sie die Nacht und die folgenden drei Tage, bis Scholastika unerwartet starb; Benedikt sah ihre Seele als weiße Taube gen Himmel fliegen. Er bestattete sie am Kloster Montecassino in dem Grab, das er für sich vorgesehen hatte, und in das er 547 auch gelegt wurde.

Die Nachrichten über Scholastikas Leben gehen auf Gregor den Großen zurück. Er zeichnete sie als Frau, der die Gaben des wunderwirkenden Gebets und der vollkommenen Gottesliebe gegeben waren und die als geistliche Lehrerin ihres Bruders Benedikt wirkte - worauf schon ihr Name hinweist. Historiker bezweifeln Scholastikas Existenz und meinen, Gregor habe mit seiner Schilderung den Triumph der Caritas verherrlichen wollen. Die von Alberich von Montecassino im 11. Jahrhundert verfasste Lebensgeschichte erweiterte die Erzählung Gregors unter Hinzufügung einiger Wunder.

Jahrhundert nach Frankreich gebracht - die von Scholastika nach Le Mans und 873 nach Juvigny-sur-Loison.

February 10 Saint Scholastica, Abbess (480-543)
Of this Saint but little is known on earth, save that she was the very pious younger sister of the great patriarch Saint Benedict, and that, under his direction, she founded and governed a numerous community near Monte Casino. Saint Gregory sums up her life by saying that she devoted herself to God from her childhood, and that her pure soul rose to God in the likeness of a dove, as if to show that her life had been enriched with the fullest gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Her brother was accustomed to visit her once every year, before Lent, and she could not be sated or wearied with the words of grace which flowed from his lips. On his last visit, after a day passed in spiritual conversation, the Saint, knowing that her end was near, said, My brother, leave me not, I pray you, this night, but discourse with me till dawn on the bliss of those who see God in heaven. Saint Benedict would not break his rule for the sake of natural affection, but his sister bowed her head and prayed, and there arose a storm so violent that Saint Benedict could not return to his monastery, and they passed the night as she had prayed, in heavenly conversation.
Three days later Saint Benedict saw in a vision the soul of Saint Scholastica going up in the likeness of a dove into heaven. Then he gave thanks to God for the graces He had given her and the glory which had crowned them. When she died, Saint Benedict as well as her spiritual daughters, and the monks sent by their patriarch to her conventual church, mingled their tears and prayed, Alas! alas! dearest mother, to whom dost thou leave us now? Pray for us to Jesus, to whom thou art gone. They then devoutly celebrated holy Mass, commending her soul to God; and her body was borne to Monte Casino, where her brother lay her in the tomb he had prepared for himself. It was written that they all mourned her many days. Finally Saint Benedict said, Weep not, my sisters and brothers; for assuredly Jesus has taken her, before us, to be our aid and defense against all our enemies, that we may remain standing on the evil day and be perfect in all things. Her death occurred in about the year 543.
Reflection. Our relatives must be loved in and for God; otherwise the purest affection becomes inordinate and is ill directed, because taken from Him.
