There are nine days until the feast of Saint Monica (August 27). All of us are praying for the conversion or return to the Church of many family members, friends, and loved ones. Let’s join together in a novena for them.
Saint Monica, you know the struggle of those who seek to live by faith. By your example and prayers, you led your husband and your son into the way of faith. The difficulties of life did not diminish your confidence in God or your prayer. Pray for me and for all whose faith is tested that we may trust in God and not be overwhelmed or discouraged by life’s bruises but may live in faith and proclaim your generous love in word and deed. Amen.

I’ll join in this novena. May I also mention that there is a thread in the Family Life section devoted to praying for St. Monica’s intercession? It’s called “St. Monica pray for us! Praying for our husbands…” but many there are also praying for children, wives, and other family members. All are welcome to post as much or as little detail as they like. :grouphug:

For all my children, grandchildren and siblings and families. (too many to list, but God and St. Monica know who they are.)
 
For all of my family, friends and others who need God’s love, mercy and blessings!

Thank you very much for posting this.
