She dearly loved them. One night, as her father tucked her into bed, he asked her to give him the pearls. She just could not. Time went by, he asked her again and again, and finally, one night, she said, “Daddy, I love you more than the pearls. These are for you.” After she handed over her plastic pearls, her father exchanged them for a necklace of real pearls.   Sometimes we do this with God. We hang on to the way things have always been done. We don’t want to let go of our ways or the way we want things done. We want to be right and may even put God’s word aside. However, sometimes we need to be like that littler girl. We need to love the Father and trust that what He has for us is far greater.   In the Collect for today’s Feast of St. Scholastica, we hear, “following her example, we may serve you with pure love and happily receive what comes from loving you.” May it remind us that our heavenly Father does not have plastic beads waiting for us, He is offering a strand of beautiful pearls.   ## Ponder: Is there something you are holding onto out of fear that what the Father wants to give will be less than you'd like?   ## Pray: Help me surrender, Lord. Help me to not be afraid to let go of my traditions and wants and to reach out for the authentic goodness You have for me.   ## Pray Together: Celebrate your feasts and saints with Feast Day Fudge. Mix 16 oz. of chocolate frosting with 12 oz. melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, pour into a greased pan and cool. You'll be looking for more saints to celebrate.   ![February 10](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/February%2010.png?width=1024&height=512&name=February%2010.png) --- Copyright 2026 Julie Storr   ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-02102026%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-02102026%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-02102026%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Daily%20Gospel%20Reflection%20for%20February%2010%2C%202026) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-02102026%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-02102026%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Julie Storr](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Julie%20Storr%20-%20Julie%20Storr.jpg) ### [Julie Storr](https://www.catholicmom.com/daily-gospel/author/julie-storr) Julie Storr surprised herself when she went from “never ever going to be Catholic” to a lover of the lectionary. Her thirst for the Faith is never quenched and she is always surprised at the depth of the relationship with Christ that one can find in the Catholic Church. She and her husband live in Pocahontas, Iowa. Visit her website at [LectioTheLiturgy.com](https://www.lectiotheliturgy.com).
