8 of February's 10 SanctiM-track saints authored (2 left unsourced — Common-only, no proper text in the source). Two more turned out to be missed pre-1955-pool candidates rather than genuine SanctiM cases (their date's SanctiM file belongs to a different saint sharing the date). Also settles a convention for bare Gospel incipits followed by a real homily: author the homily alone as isGospel:false rather than including the incipit line under isGospel:true.

Scholástica, venerábilis patris Benedícti soror, omnipoténti Dómino ab ipso infántiæ
|
|
témpore dedicáta, ad eum semel per annum veníre consuéverat; ad quam vir Dei non longe
|
|
extra jánuam in possessióne monastérii descendébat. Quadam vero die venit ex more, atque
|
|
ad eam, cum discípulis venerábilis ejus descéndit frater; qui totum diem in Dei láudibus
|
|
sacrísque collóquiis ducéntes, incumbéntibus jam noctis ténebris, simul accepérunt
|
|
cibum. Cumque adhuc ad mensam sedérent, et inter sacra collóquia tárdior se hora
|
|
protráheret, éadem sanctimoniális fémina soror ejus eum rogávit, dicens: Quæso te, ut
|
|
ista nocte me non déseras, ut usque mane de cæléstis vitæ gáudiis loquámur. Cui ille
|
|
respóndit: Quid est quod lóqueris, soror? manére extra cellam nullátenus possum. Tanta
|
|
vero erat cæli serénitas, ut nulla in áëre nubes appareret. Sanctimoniális autem fémina,
|
|
cum verba fratris negántis pósuit, et caput in mánibus omnipoténtem Dóminum rogatúra
|
|
declinávit. Cumque leváret de mensa caput, tanta coruscatiónis et tonítrui virtus, tántaque
|
|
inundátio plúviæ erúpit, ut neque venerábilis Benedíctus, neque fratres, qui cum eo áderant,
|
|
extra loci limen, quo conséderant, pedem movére potúerint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sanctimoniális quippe fémina caput in mánibus declínans, lacrimárum flúvium in mensam
|
|
fúderat, per quas serenitátem áëris ad plúviam traxit. Nec paulo tárdius post oratiónem
|
|
inundátio illa secúta est; sed tanta fuit conveniéntia oratiónis et inundatiónis, ut de
|
|
mensa caput jam cum tonítruo leváret; quátenus unum idémque esset moméntum, et leváre
|
|
caput, et plúviam depónere. Tunc vir Dei inter corúscos et tonítruos atque ingéntis plúviæ
|
|
inundatiónem, videns se ad monastérium non posse remeáre, cœpit cónqueri contristátus,
|
|
dicens: Parcat tibi omnípotens Deus, soror: quid est quod fecísti? Cui illa respóndit:
|
|
Ecce rogávi te et audíre me noluísti; rogávi Deum meum, et audívit me: modo ergo, si
|
|
potes, egrédere et, me dimíssa, ad monastérium recéde. Ipse autem exíre extra tectum non
|
|
valens, qui remanére sponte nóluit in loco, mansit invítus. Sicque factum est, ut totam
|
|
noctem pervígilem dúcerent, atque per sacra spiritális vitæ collóquia, sese vicária
|
|
relatióne satiárent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cumque die áltero éadem venerábilis fémina ad cellam própriam recessísset, vir Dei ad
|
|
monastérium rédiit. Cum ecce post tríduum, in cella consístens, elevátis in áëra óculis
|
|
vidit ejúsdem soróris suæ ánimam de córpore egréssam in colúmbæ spécie cæli secréta
|
|
penetráre. Qui, tantæ ejus glóriæ congáudens, omnipoténti Deo in hymnis et láudibus
|
|
grátias réddidit, ejúsque óbitum frátribus denuntiávit. Quos étiam prótinus misit, ut
|
|
ejus corpus ad monastérium deférrent, atque in sepúlcro, quod sibi ipsi paráverat,
|
|
pónerent. Quo facto cóntigit, ut, quorum mens una semper in Deo fúerat, eórum quoque
|
|
córpora nec sepultúra separáret.

The worshipful Scholastica, the sister of our Father Benedict, was hallowed unto the Lord
|
|
Almighty from a child. Her custom was to come to see her brother once every year. And when
|
|
she came, the man of God went down unto her, not far from the gate, but, as it were,
|
|
within the borders of his monastery. And there was a day when she came, as her custom was,
|
|
and her worshipful brother went down to her, and his disciples with him. Then they passed
|
|
the whole day together, praising God, and speaking one to the other of spiritual things.
|
|
And when the night came, they brake bread together. And while they were yet at table, and
|
|
conversed together on spiritual things, the hour was late. Then the holy woman his sister
|
|
besought him, saying: Leave me not, I pray thee, this night, but let us speak even until
|
|
morning of the gladness of the eternal life. He answered her: What is it that thou sayest,
|
|
my sister? I can by no means remain out of my cell. Now the firmament was so clear that
|
|
there were no clouds in the sky. Then the holy nun, when she had heard the words of her
|
|
brother, that he would not abide with her, clasped her hands on the table, and laid her
|
|
face on her hands, and besought the Lord Almighty. And it came to pass that when she lifted
|
|
up her head from the table, there were great thunderings and lightnings, and a flood of
|
|
rain, insomuch that neither the worshipful Benedict nor the brethren that were with him
|
|
could move as much as a foot over the threshold of the place where they sat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now when the holy woman laid her head in her hands upon the table, she wept bitterly, and
|
|
as she wept, the clearness of the sky was turned to a tempest. As she prayed, immediately
|
|
the flood followed. And the time was so, that she lifted up her head when it thundered, and
|
|
when she had lifted up her head, the rain came. When the man of God saw that he could not
|
|
return to his monastery, because of the lightnings, and thunderings, and the great rain,
|
|
he was sorrowful and grieved, saying: Almighty God forgive thee, my sister; what is this
|
|
that thou hast done? She answered him: Behold, I besought thee, and thou wouldest not
|
|
hear; I besought my God, and He hath heard me; if, therefore, thou wilt, go forth, leave
|
|
me alone, and go thy way to thy monastery. But he could not, and so he tarried in the same
|
|
place, not willingly, but of necessity. And so it came to pass that they slept not all that
|
|
night, but fed one another with discourse on spiritual things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And when the morning was come, the worshipful woman arose, and went unto her own cell, and
|
|
the man of God went back to his monastery. And, behold, after three days he was sitting in
|
|
his cell, and he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and saw the soul of his sister, delivered
|
|
from the body, fly to heaven in a bodily shape like a dove. Wherefore he rejoiced because
|
|
of the glory that was revealed in her, and gave thanks to Almighty God in hymns and
|
|
praises, and made known to the brethren that she was dead. He commanded them also to go
|
|
and take up her body, and bring it to his monastery, and lay it in the grave which he had
|
|
made ready for himself. Whereby it came to pass that they twain who had ever been of one
|
|
mind in the Lord, even in death were not divided.
