Prayer to St. Monica

Holy Saint Monica,

I pray for the courage to overcome fear and to find the Lord in the face of my friends, my neighbors, and especially in my own family. Help me when I grow discouraged in prayer for you lived in the knowledge that even in the darkest moments, our Lord never leaves us.

Amen.

Saint of the month

Monica’s life was devoted to seeing her family become Catholic Christians. First, she saw her husband Patricius enter the Church before his death. Then she set her sights on the conversion of her son Augustine
