| | What Was New OSB! January to March 2000, First Quarter. The Order of Saint Benedict |
 | | When Benedict died, two monks, one in his cell, and the other far distant, had the same vision concerning him: for they saw the whole way from the holy man's cell, towards the east even up to heaven, hung and adorned with tapestry and shining with an infinite number of lamps. |
 | | Then he spoke: "This is the way by which the beloved servant of God, Benedict, is ascended up to heaven." And by this means, as his monks that were present knew of the death of the holy man, so likewise those who were absent had intelligence of the same thing, as Benedict had predicted. |
 | | Saint Scholastica, Virgin and Religious Founder, identified by Pope St. Gregory the Great as the twin sister of Saint Benedict. |
