2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. MONICA
DAY 1 - AUGUST 18
TODAY WE PRAY FOR ALL GOD'S PEOPLE CURRENTLY ABSENT FROM OUR HOME. MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT OPEN THEIR EARS AND HEARTS SO THEY MAY HEAR THIS INVITATION TO COME HOME.
PRAYER: Exemplary mother of the Great Augustine, you persevering 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 us to remain close to all God's 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.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience, and trust in the Lord. Intercede for me, dear St. Monica, that God may favorably hear my plea for (names of those you are praying for) and grant me the grace to accept His will in all things, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
St. Monica: Pray for us!
