I see people praying for her intercession on here all the time. But if you dont mind me asking? Who exactly was she? Thank you.

She was the mother of St. Augustine. She prayed to God for many, many years for her son (and the rest of the family) to become Christian. Her prayers brought her whole family to Christianity, including her husband.

Come over to the Family Life section – there’s a sticky where many of us pray for St. Monica’s intercession in our marriages (there’s lots of info. there).

She’s very good against abusive peoples, rapists, those we need protection from, those who abuse.

So if my mom was in a dangerous situation with this man that she is involved in who is mentally abusing her and brainwashing her with his hogwash, She would be the best Saint to pray to?
