Soaring to Heaven<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

O God, to show us where innocence leads,
You made the soul of Your virgin St Scholastica
soar to heaven like a dove in flight.
Grant through her merits and her prayers
that we may so live in innocence as to attain
to joys everlasting. This we ask through our Lord
Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns
with You and the Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever Amen.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
