Peace be with you.

St Monica suffered verbal abuse from her husband's violent temper for years, and she is now the patron saint

of abuse victims.

Today let's pray for all victims of abuse and all those who are surviving.

Here are the prayers for today.

Day 7.

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 an eternity.

By your intercession in God's grace, your son, Zina Guston, 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. P Imagine your intentions here.

With your needs,

worries and anxieties, you through yourself on the mercy and providence of God.

Through sorrow and pain, you constantly devoted yourself to God.

Pray for me that I may 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 for 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.
