This works begins with a reflection on the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, illustrating the consequences of procrastination versus preparedness in spiritual matters, particularly in relation to the coming of the bridegroom. It underscores the folly of those who decide to act but fail to follow through, contrasting them with the wise who are always prepared. The latter part of the text shifts focus to Saint Scholastica, praising her wisdom, purity, and miraculous acts, particularly her ability to intercede through prayer. Scholastica is depicted as a model of virtuous living, embodying the qualities of faith and charity.
