Prayer of the month

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.
