I found this on UCatholic.com today thought you'd enjoy.
Next to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Monica is one of the best examples of Christian motherhood. For years, she prayed for the conversion of her only son. Her persistence was answered with abundant grace: Her son, Augustine, became a saint and a doctor of the Church.
Saint Monica faced a culture in which Christianity had not yet fully taken hold; we live in a culture in which Christianity is increasingly marginalized and children are pulled from the Faith. This prayer for her intercession, therefore, is particularly appropriate today.
Prayer To St. Monica For MothersExemplary 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.
Hopefully, this page will assist people in realizing how we can all grow deeper in our Catholic faith. I will cram this page with all kinds of: current events, news, data and doctrine on the Traditional Catholic faith and every so often my own ramblings. I will always attempt to bring you accurate, correct information and if my opinion is not your cup of tea, feel free to share your comments as long as they are respectful! Come find "God's Interruption" on Facebook as well...God bless you.
