nica did not plead for a miracle; she prayed and sacrificed for the conversion of her son.

Another saint for our days!! Lady In Blue, you are on a roll! That's two for two.

I pray to St. Monica constantly, to watch over my teenage daughter, who, like many others, shuns anything to do with the church and religion. Deep in my heart, I know that she will be okay. I began bringing her to mass the week she was born. She's been through catholic school and will make her confirmation next Spring. I draw on the patience of St. Monica to keep me going through this phase of her life.

Thank you,NYer.Bless your heart,your daughter,not wanting to go to Church must be so heartbreaking for you.Does she still go to mass with you,even though she doesn't want to? I know when I was about her age,I stopped going to Church for about 13 years! But I came back.Take heart, the fruit does not fall far from the tree!
