Prayer to St. Monica

Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine, you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven.

Intercede for all mothers in our day 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. Amen.

I know I have prayed for my children, and I suspect many others have too.

This could go for us siblings, too. Some of us have obstinately heathen siblings who laugh at our devotion to God.
