St. Scholastica : ウィキペディア英語版
Scholastica

Scholastica (c. 480 – 10 February 542) is a saint of the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Born in Italy, according to a ninth century tradition, she was the twin sister of Benedict of Nursia.〔(Foley O.F.M., Leonard, rev. McCloskey O.F.M., Pat "Saint Scholastica", ''Saint of the Day'', American Catholic )〕〔 Her feast day is 10 February.
==Life==
Scholastica was born in 480 in Nursia, Umbria, of wealthy parents and according to Gregory the Great's ''Dialogues'', was dedicated to God from a young age. She and her brother Benedict were brought up together until the time he left to pursue studies in Rome.
A young Roman woman of Scholastica's class and time would likely have remained in her father's house until marriage (likely arranged) or entry into religious life. But wealthy women could inherit property, divorce, and were generally literate. On occasion several young women would live together in a household and form a religious community.〔("Engs, Ruth Clifford. "St. Scholastica: Finding Meaning in her Story", St. Meinrad, In: Abbey Press, 2003 )〕
Benedictine tradition holds that Scholastica lived in a convent at Plumbariola about five miles from Monte Cassino and that this was the first "Benedictine" convent.〔("Saint Scholastica", Order of Saint Benedict )〕 However, it has been suggested that it is more likely that she lived in a hermitage with one or two other religious women in a cluster of houses at the base of Mount Cassino where there is an ancient church named after her. Ruth Clifford Engs notes that since ''Dialogues'' indicates that Scholastica was dedicated to God at an early age, perhaps she lived in her father's house with other religious women until his death and then moved nearer to Benedict.〔
The most commonly told story about her is that she would, once a year, go and visit her brother at a place near his abbey, and they would spend the day worshiping together and discussing sacred texts and issues.〔(Gregory the Great. ''Dialogues'', Book II, Chapter 33 )〕
One day they had supper and continued their conversation. When Benedict indicated it was time for him to leave, perhaps sensing the time of her death was drawing near, she asked him to stay with her for the evening so they could continue their discussions. Not wishing to break his own Rule, Benedict refused, insisting that he needed to return to his cell. At that point, Scholastica closed her hands in prayer, and after a moment, a wild storm started outside of the guest house in which they were housed. Benedict asked, "What have you done?", to which she replied, "I asked you and you would not listen; so I asked my God and he did listen. So now go off, if you can, leave me and return to your monastery." Benedict was unable to return to his monastery, and they spent the night in discussion.〔
According to Gregory's ''Dialogues'', three days later, from his cell, he saw his sister's soul leaving the earth and ascending to heaven in the form of a shining white dove.〔(Gregory the Great. ''Dialogues'', Book II, Chapter 34 )〕 Benedict had her body brought to his monastery, where he caused it to be laid in the tomb which he had prepared for himself.〔(Butler, Alban. "St. Scholastica", ''The Lives or the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints'', Vol.I, D. & J. Sadlier, & Company, 1864 )〕
