Saint o ka lā no 10 Pepeluali: ka moʻolelo o Santa Scolastica
Māhele pinepine nā māhoe i nā hoihoi like a me nā manaʻo me ka ikaika like. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha no ka hoʻokumu ʻana o Scholastica a me kāna kaikaina māhoe ʻo Benedict i nā kaiāulu haipule ma loko o kekahi mau kilomita kekahi o kekahi. Hānau ʻia i 480 i nā mākua waiwai, ua hānai ʻia ʻo Scholastica lāua ʻo Benedetto a hiki i kona haʻalele ʻana i waena o Italia no Roma e hoʻomau i kāna aʻo ʻana. ʻAʻole ʻike iki ʻia e pili ana i ko Scholastica wā mua. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i kahi kaiāulu hoʻomana no nā wahine kokoke i Monte Cassino ma Plombariola, ʻelima mile mai kahi a kona kaikunāne e noho aliʻi ana ma kahi mōneka. Ua kipa aku nā māhoe i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki ma kahi mahiʻai no ka mea ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia ʻo Scholastica i loko o ka mōneka. Ua hoʻohana lākou i kēia mau manawa e kūkākūkā ana i nā mea ʻuhane.
Wahi a nā Dialogues a St. Gregory the Great, ua noho pū ke kaikaina a me ke kaikuahine i ko lākou lā hope loa i ka pule a me ke kamaʻilio. Ua ʻike ʻo Scholastica ua kokoke mai kona make a noi aku iā Benedict e noho pū me ia a hiki i kekahi lā aʻe. Ua hōʻole ʻo ia i kāna noi no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻo ia makemake e noho i kahi pō ma waho o ka mōneka, no laila e uhaʻi ana i kāna kānāwai ponoʻī. Ua noi ʻo Scholastica i ke Akua e ʻae i kona kaikunāne e noho a kū ka ʻino ikaika, e pale ana iā Benedict a me kāna mau mōneka mai ka hoʻi ʻana i ka ʻāpena. Ua kāhea ʻo Benedict: “E kala ke Akua iā ʻoe, e kaikuahine. He aha kau i hana ai? " Pane aku ʻo Scholastica, “Ua noi wau iā ʻoe no kahi lokomaikaʻi a hōʻole ʻoe. Ua noi au i ke Akua a ua ʻae ʻo ia. "Ua kaʻawale ke kaikaina a me ke kaikuahine i ke kakahiaka aʻe ma hope o kā lākou kūkā lōʻihi. I ʻekolu mau lā ma hope mai, e pule ana ʻo Benedict i loko o kāna mōneka a ʻike akula i ka ʻuhane o kona kaikuahine e piʻi aʻe i ka lani i ke ʻano o kahi manu nūnū keʻokeʻo. Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Benedict i ka make ʻana o kona kaikuahine i nā mōneka a ma hope kanu ʻia ʻo ia i ka hale kupapaʻu āna i hoʻomākaukau ai nona iho.
Nānā: Hāʻawi ʻo Scholastica lāua ʻo Benedict iā lāua iho i ke Akua a hāʻawi i ka mea nui kiʻekiʻe i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ko lāua aloha me ia ma o ka pule. Ua mōhai lākou i kekahi o nā manawa kūpono a lākou e noho pū ai me ke kaikaina a me ke kaikuahine e hoʻokō pono i kā lākou hana i ka hoʻomana haipule. I ko lākou hoʻokokoke ʻana iā Kristo, eia naʻe, ʻike lākou ua kokoke loa kekahi i kekahi. Ma ke komo ʻana i kahi kaiāulu haipule, ʻaʻole lākou i poina a haʻalele i ko lākou ʻohana, akā ua loaʻa he mau kaikaina a me nā kaikuahine hou aku.
