St. Scholastica was the twin sister of St. Benedict of Nursia, founder of the Benedictine Order. It was said that she was consecrated to God at her birth but continued to live at home until her brother founded his monastery at Monte Cassino. She then, in turn, established a convent in the nearby town of Plombariola. In her writings to Mother Flavia, Saint Scholastica reveals that it was her brother who named her, saying that she was "destined to remain in the school of the Lord's service."
She evidently loved meeting with her brother so they could talk and share spiritual insights, though it usually occurred only once a year. As neither was allowed to enter the other's monastery, they would meet in a house in Monte Cassino.
"I asked you and you would not listen. So I asked my God and he did listen."
–Saint Scholastica
