And, as if I needed another reason to love Elizabeth Warren...
I also saw this picture on Facebook about our most persistent mother, which I quite liked:
(c/o Women's March on Facebook)
We celebrated Saint Scholastica on Friday, Benedict's twin sister. The only real story we have of her is one of persistence. She wanted Benedict to stay in conversation with her one evening. He wanted to follow the rules and go back to his monastery. She prayed, and a storm began, making it impossible for Benedict to leave. #neverthelessshepersisted In my bedroom I keep another visual reminder of persistence, given to me by a spiritual director who taught me well.
And, here is a great list of other women who persisted.
Let us walk in the holy presence.
