Dear St. Monica,

Troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant to us that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for us, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear our pleas
for all non practicing Catholics and those
discerning conversion to Catholicism. Amen.

Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine, you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven.
Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God. Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray. Amen.
Amen
 
Glory to God in the highest And peace to His people on earth Lord God, Heavenly King, Almighty God and Father We worship You We give You thanks We praise You for Your glory Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father Lord God, Lamb of God You take away the sins of the world Lord, have mercy on us You are seated at the right hand of the Father Receive our prayer For You alone are the Holy One For You alone are the Lord For You alone are the Most High Jesus Christ With the Holy Spirit In the glory of God the Father
Amen

For your intentions

Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever.
Amen.

Hail, Mary! Full of grace, The Lord is with thee;
Blessed are thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners,
Now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

Lord Jesus, hear our prayers. Amen

St. Joseph, pray for us

Lord, I prayed that you would send me a loving man to be my husband. Thank you for bringing him and I together. I questioned you at first but now I believe you brought us together for a reason.

Help me Lord, to bear witness to my fiance and his family of the fullness of Your truth. His father once belonged to Your Church, help me, a poor sinner, to strive for holiness and be the example that will help to bring him home to You.

My fiance finds joy elsewhere, Lord draw him to you through your precious body, blood soul and divinity - that he may hunger for more than thoughts and feelings. I want him to know you Lord, as I know you.

Holy Spirit, give me patience, understanding, wisdom, the right words, humility and strength in my actions, conversations and prayer.

God our Father, remind your children of the sacrifice of Your Son, that precious gift He gave to us, and continues to give to us - strengthen their love for you, touch their hearts, open their eyes, whisper in their ears and consume their souls.

Holy Mother, wrap your tender and loving arms around them, show them your pierced heart, lead them to your Son, be a refuge for them. Pray for them and please pray for me.

St Augustine - pray for us
