The St. Scholastica Roman Catholic Church’s Community of Catholic Women (CCW) in Lecanto, FL have begun an outreach to help meet the needs of those in our community. This fall we commenced with bringing into our monthly CCW meeting a select food item (soup, Mac & cheese, canned vegetable, etc.). We have connected with Daystar Life Center and Citrus County Blessings, and alternate monthly with providing to these agencies our contributions. We realize that every bit helps, and we thank AnnMarie Briercheck (Daystar) and Rachelle Garrett (Blessings) for their support and guidance in helping us to help others. We are thankful to these agencies for their presence and their unwavering dedication to lend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters nearby.

✨ Reflection: “Whitewashed or Witness?” Jesus’ words to the Pharisees are piercing: “You are like whitewashed tombs…”—a warning against spiritual superficiality. It’s a call to examine whether our outward expressions of faith reflect an inner life rooted in truth, humility, and love. Saint Monica, whose memorial we celebrate, offers a radiant contrast. Her quiet perseverance, deep prayer, and unwavering hope led to the conversion of her son, Saint Augustine. She didn’t preach with grandeur—she witnessed with grace. Challenge for the day: Let your faith be more than polished appearances. Let it be a living witness, like Monica’s—marked by patience, prayer, and authenticity. —

“Fearless Belonging” Jesus doesn’t sugarcoat discipleship. He reminds His Apostles—and us—that following Him means sharing in His trials. If He was misunderstood and maligned, we shouldn’t be surprised when we are too. But here’s the grace: we belong to Him. And that belonging is stronger than fear. He tells us not to be afraid—not of rejection, not of persecution, not even of death. Because our worth is known by the Father. Every sparrow, every hair, every whisper in the dark—He sees it all. And He holds us in that knowing. To acknowledge Christ before others is to live boldly in the light. It’s to proclaim love, truth, and mercy from the housetops, even when the world calls us foolish. And in that witness, Jesus promises to stand with us before the Father. #faith #f #catholic #gospel #gospelmusic #workofart #bethelmusic #fypage #trendingnow

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Benedict of Nursia, the Father of Western Monasticism and twin brother of our beloved patroness, St. Scholastica. Born in 480 AD, their lives were rooted in prayer, humility, and a deep love for Christ. St. Benedict’s legacy lives on through his Rule, which shaped monastic life for centuries—and through his powerful prayer that still inspires hearts today: “O Lord, I place myself in your hands and dedicate myself to you. I pledge myself to do your will in all things… To prefer nothing to the love of Christ.” (Prayer of St. Benedict) May we, like Benedict and Scholastica, seek holiness in the ordinary and trust God in all things. ?️ #StBenedict #StScholastica #CatholicSaints #OraEtLabora #FaithInAction #MonasticWisdom #FeastDayReflection #CatholicCommunity #RuleOfStBenedict #fyp

⸻ ? Gospel of the Day – July 8, 2025 “A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute man spoke.” (Matthew 9:32–38) The crowds were amazed, but some doubted. Still, Jesus continued — healing every disease, teaching in the synagogues, and proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom. When He saw the crowds, His heart was moved with pity. They were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. And so He said: “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few.” Jesus not only heals and restores — He sees the needs of His people and calls us to respond. ?

Stay tuned as we continue to build not just signs, but a stronger community united in faith and prayer. 💒 #StScholasticaChurch #CatholicCommunity #FaithInAction #ChurchSign #CatholicWelcome #ObedienceAndSimplicity #ParishLife #BuildingFaith
