Saint Monica Novena 2
April 25 - May 3
.
Dear Saint Monica, thou wert once the mournful mother of a prodigal son. Thy faithfulness to prayer brought thee and thy son so close to God that thou art now with him in eternity. By thy intercession and God’s grace, thy son St. Augustine became a great and venerable Saint of the Church. Please take my request to God with the same fervor and persistence with which thou didst pray for thy own son.

.
With thy needs, worries and anxieties, thou didst throw thyself on the mercy and providence of God. Through sorrow and pain, thou didst constantly devote thyself to God. Pray for me that I might join thee in such a deep faith in God’s goodness and mercy.
.
Above all, dear Saint Monica, pray for me that I may, like thy son, turn from my sin and become a great saint for the glory of God.
