ST. MONICA-Widow
Prayer
In Your mercy, Lord, You
received the tears of St. Monica
as she wept for her son. At the
intercession of both mother and son,
give us grace to weep for sin and
to obtain Your forgiveness.
FEAST: AUGUST 27
One of the most famous mothers
of all time, she persisted in prayer
and example until she brought
her son St. Augustine back not only
to the faith and to penitence, but
to an illustrious life in the church.
She did not live to see her son's
success, but died shortly after his
conversion.
