Today let's pray for all members of the family, for grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren.

St. Monica is the patron saint of mothers and wives, and the vocation of being a mother and

father is extremely important in our society and in the eyes of God. We would like to pray for all

mothers and fathers to be good and holy examples for their children.

St. Monica prayed diligently for her children for years on end,

so let's ask her to pray for the children and grandchildren in our lives.

Here are the prayers for today.

Day two.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Dear St. Monica, you were once the mournful mother of a prodigal son.

Your faithfulness to prayer brought you and your son so close to God that you are now with Him in eternity. By your intercession in God's grace,

your 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 you prayed for your own son.

Mention your intentions here.

With your needs, worries, and anxieties,

you threw yourself on the mercy and providence of God.

Through sorrow and pain, you constantly devoted yourself to God. Pray for me that I might join you in such a deep faith in God's goodness and mercy. Above all, dear St. Monica, pray for me that I may, like your son, turn from my sin and become a great saint for the glory of God. Amen. In the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit, amen. All right, thanks for praying with us. We're praying for you and your

intentions. Please consider sharing this Novena with your friends and families to help them
