Prayers to Saints Benedict and Scholastica
Dear Saints Benedict and Scholastica,
as siblings you encouraged each other
to grow in faith and love of God; as saints,
you encourage the world to do the same.
We turn to your knowledge of the struggles
as siblings, from different perspectives and
desires, to time and distance spent apart.
Despite the struggles, You also experienced
the fruits of friendship, love, and support.
We humbly ask for your intercession, for
ourselves and our siblings. Open our hearts
to the Lord; guide us on the path to holiness;
and bind us together, so that one day we will
greet you in heaven with our siblings by our side.
Through Christ or Lord, Amen.
