"How wonderful is God among his saints: come, let us adore him." - antiphon, Lauds

St. Monica was born at Thagaste in Africa of a Christian family. She was married young, to Patricius, and among her children was Augustine, who would later become one of the great Doctors of the Church. He had a brilliant intellect and uncertain morals and his wayward spiritual career saw him at one time a Manichee and then a Neoplatonist. With many tears she prayed unceasingly to God for his conversion and her prayers were answered shortly before she died. She had a deep faith and outstanding virtue and is a wonderful example of a Christian mother.

St. Monica, pray for us!
