SEXAGESIMA SUNDAY, St Scholastica Novena – The FOURTH DAY, Nostra Signora del Fuoco / Our Lady of the Fire, Forli, Italy (1428), St Andrew Corsini and the Saints for 4 February

SEXAGESIMA SUNDAY: (Latin – Sexagesima, sixtieth) is the eighth Sunday before Easter and the second before Lent. The Ordo Romanus, St Alcuin and others, count the Sexagesima from this day to Wednesday after Easter. The name was already known to the Fourth Council of Orléans in 541. To the Latins it is also known as “Exsurge” from the beginning of the Introit. The station was at Saint Paul’s Outside the Walls of Rome and hence, the oratio calls upon the Doctor of the Gentiles. The Epistle is from Paul, 2 Corinthians 11 and 12, describing his suffering and labours for the Church. The Gospel (Luke 8) relates the falling of the seed on good and on bad ground, while the Lessons of the first Nocturn continue the history of man’s iniquity and speak of Noah and of the Deluge.

St Scholastica was the twin sister of St Benedict (480-547) and the Foundress of the Benedictine Nuns. As twins, St Scholastica and St Benedict were naturally born together and died within 6 weeks of each other.
She is the Patron of Schools and Education, especially – tests and reading; of Convulsive children; Nuns; invoked against storms, lightening; rain.
Normally prayed from 1 February until the 9th, in preparation for her Feast day on the 10 February.

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!
