Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Family bulletin:
St. Scholasica is the twin sister of St. Benedict (11 July). They were born in Norcia, Italy. She consecrated herself to God from her earliest years. She entered a monastery near Monte Cassino where her brother Benedict was. Once when Benedict & Scholastica were visiting each other, Scholastica wanted Benedict to wait until the following day to return to his monastery, but Benedict refused. Then Scholastica prayed to God & such a violent thunderstorm arose that Benedict & his companions could not leave the house.'Twould also be the feast of Blessed Aloysius Stepinac, Bishop & Martyr (1898-1960), martyred under Marshal Tito: Blessed-link & Wikipedia-link.
