Benedict and his sister Scholastica (Thought to be his twin) were born in Nursia, Italy. After Benedict received his education in Rome he decided to live the life of a hermit and fled to a cave where he lived for 3 years. During this time word of his holiness and wisdom became known and he was asked to be an abbot for a community of monks. He accepted this request, but after they learned of his strict rules they tried to poison him. He fled and eventually attracted more disciples who he organized into twelve more monasteries. Little is known of Scholastica, except that her piety was exceptional. Under her brother's direction she founded a benedictine community of nuns that flourished in number. Because of their religious vocations, Benedict and Scholastica were accustomed to visit only once a year. On this day they exchanged loving words of grace and virtue in such deep spiritual conversation. St. Benedict is celebrated on his feast day of July 11 and Scholastica on February 10.
