Novena To St. Monica # 1 (August 18 – August 27)

Exemplary Mother of the Great Augustine,
You perserveringly pursued your wayward son
Not with wild threats

So that they may learn
To draw their children to God.

Teach them how to remain
Close to their children,
Even the prodigal sons and daughters
Who have sadly gone astray.

Dear St Monica, troubled wife and mother,
Many sorrows pierced your heart
During your lifetime.
Yet you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence and profound faith,
You prayed daily for the conversion
Of your beloved husband, Patricius
And your beloved son, Augustine.

Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
That God may favorably hear my plea for

To accept his will in all things,

In the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God forever and ever.

Amen.
