Assist us, O God, to love one another as sisters and brothers, and to balance discipline with love and rules with compassion, according to the example shown by thy servant Scholastica; for the sake of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
Today's the feast of St Scholastica, 6th Century mystic and foundress, by tradition the sister of St Benedict. She appears on the early 16th Century screen at Wiggenhall St Mary the Virgin, Norfolk. She's the patron saint of women's education.
