O God, Thou caused the soul
of Thy blessed virgin Scholastica,
to enter heaven in the form of a dove,
to show us the way of innocence.
Grant us, by her prayers and merits,
to live in such innocence
that we may deserve to attain eternal joys.
Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord,
Who liveth and reigneth with Thee,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost,
ever one God, world without end.
Amen.
V. By the example and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, keep us faithful to Thy Word.
R. Hear us, O Lord.
V. By the example and intercession of St Scholastica,
keep us rooted in Thy love.
R. Hear us, O Lord.
V. By the example and intercession of all the holy virgins,
keep us firm in prayer and charity.
R. Hear us, O Lord.

(Mention your request here…)

Lord our God, Thou robed the virgin St Scholastica
with the beauty and splendour of love.
Help us to walk blamelessly before Thee,
so that in the company of virgins,
we may praise Thy Name forever
and find our delight in Thee,
through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be …

Saint Scholastica, Pray for Us!

Doctor of Charity

I vow and consecrate to God
all that is in me,
my memory and my actions,
to God the Father;
my understanding and my words,
to God the Son;
my will and my thoughts,
to God the Holy Spirit.
I consecrate my heart, my body,
my tongue, my senses and all my sorrows,
to the Sacred Humanity of Jesus Christ,
Who consented to be betrayed
into the hands of wicked men
and to suffer the torment
of the Cross for me.
Amen

NOVENA In Preparation for the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Candlemas Novena – DAY NINE

DAY NINE

Virgin most resigned,
who didst feel thy soul
transfixed with sorrow
when in spirit, thou didst foresee
all the bitter passion of thy Son
and, knowing the grief of St Joseph,
thy Spouse, for all thy sufferings,
didst, with holy words console him.
Pierce our souls,
through and through,
with true sorrow for our sins
that we may one day,
possess the consolation
of being made partakers
of thy glory in Heaven.
Amen

Hail Mary â€¦..

Almighty, everlasting God,
we pray Thy majesty
that as Thine Only-begotten Son
was presented in the Temple
in the substance of our flesh,
so Thou wouldst enable us
to present ourselves before Thee,
with clean hearts.
Amen
