"All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me (Matt 25:35)"
O God,
to show us where innocence leads,
you made the soul of your virgin Saint 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.
