O my God, Thou knowest I have never desired but to love Thee alone. I seek no other glory. Thy Love has gone before me from my childhood, it has grown with my growth, and now it is an abyss the depths of which I cannot fathom. -St. Therese

Who will answer the question first?
Question of the day: Who was today's saint talking to when she said this: "I asked a favor of you and you refused. I asked it of God and God granted it." -St. Scholastica (name and relationship to her - if you know it)
She was speaking to her brother Benedict of Nursia on what was to be their last time together on earth. She wanted him to stay and talk with him of spiritual things. He refused. She prayed and a violent storm arose. He rebuked her and she relied with your quote.
Her brother Benedict :) love that story...and love spunky saints
