Let's pray today that we may all have the faith of St. Monica

that we will have heroic patience in the face of difficulty.

Here are the prayers for today. day 8.

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 and 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.

Pension 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.
