 In 1979 the young women in formation in Rome asked Mother Scholastica for a reflection upon the priestly apostolate.
With the fervor and spontaneity characteristic of her, Mother Scholastica responded:
“The priestly apostolate for the Pious Disciples is a service rendered to priests, especially those of the Pauline Family. It extends from the most mundane things to the spiritual realities, always fulfilled with the right intention and a supernatural spirit.
In this sense the Pious Disciple works each day in the service of God on behalf of priests. She not only works but also offers to God prayers, sacrifices, generous services even when this costs more, for example when they are sick, in danger of death, after death. Never leave them; pray continually for them until they reach Heaven.

Prayer and concrete action for the “Pauline Priesthood” are characteristics of the first Mother of the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master: that which she received from the Founder, Blessed James Alberione, she transmitted to her daughters not only through convincing words but with an example that attracted others. Love for the priest was not restricted to the “House” but was radiated and she took upon herself all the needs of the Church and of the world to which the “good news” of salvation would be proclaimed through the priestly ministry. We will present some thoughts of Mother Scholastica on this theme.

 In this year of the priesthood, Mother Scholastica is a model of prayer and industry. She entered the Family founded by Blessed James Alberione in 1922. Immediately she felt the zeal and anxiety of living in collaboration with the priests and brothers for the advent of the Kingdom of God through the modern means of communication.
It was not by chance that Fr. Alberione founded the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master on February 10, feast of St. Scholastica who, wishing to prolong the spiritual conversation with her brother, St. Benedict, had greater power than her brother on that occasion. “God is love” and it was just, wrote St. Gregory the Great that “the one who loved more could do more”. The work of Mother Scholastica always carried the mark of her interior life.
