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 me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for

(YOUR PERSONAL INTENTION HERE)

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
 
St. Monica, I beg you to hear the prayers and pleas of these CAF members for their fallen away Catholic family members. Pray for us to have the patience and strength you did while petitioning God for the conversion of your husband and son. May our prayers be joined to yours, and may God hear us and grace our families with conversion. Amen.
 
St. Monica, please intercede for all those who struggle with alcohol abuse, for their total healing of body, mind, and soul. I also ask you to intercede for their loved ones, for their safety and that they may find the peace, courage, wisdom, and love that only our Heavenly Father can give.

A Prayer to St. Monica, for Lost Souls

Sainted mother of Augustine the sinner, the Lord Jesus mercifully regarded your tears. The conversion of your son to a genuinely holy life was the fruit of your prayers. From the heights of your heavenly home, happy mother of your saintly son, pray for those who wander far from God and add your prayers to those of all parents who sorrow over the straying souls of their sons or daughters. Pray for us that, following your example and that of all God’s children, we may at length enjoy the eternal vision of our Father in Heaven. Amen.

Prayer for the Conversion of Sinners

Lord Jesus Christ, most merciful Saviour of the world, we humbly beseech You, by Your most Sacred Heart, that all the sheep who stray out of Your fold may one day be converted to You, the Shepherd and Bishop of their souls, who lives and reigns with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end.
Amen.

Holy St. Monica, I know that your life on earth as wife, mother, kind grandmother, and wise friend to many women and men made you a saint when you stood before the throne of God. As I pray for your intercession, I pray for the courage to overcome fear and to find the Lord in the face of my friends, my neighbors, and especially in my own family, especially my family members whom I remember in a special way today. St. Monica, help me when I grow discouraged in prayer for you lived in the knowledge that even in the darkest moments our Lord never leaves us.He knows our needs better than we do and loves us more than we could ever imagine in this world. May your example help me to bring my prayers to the Lord, ever confident of His tender love and concern, even as I pray for these very special intentions today. Amen.

(Franciscan Mission Associates prayer)
 
Day 2 - The St. Monica Novena

Dear Saint 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.

With your needs, worries and anxieties, you threw yourself on the mercy and providence of God. Through sorrow and pain, you constantly devoted yourself to God. Pray for me, that I might join you in such a deep faith in God’s goodness and mercy.

Above all, dear Saint Monica, pray for me, that I may, like your son, turn from my sin and become a great saint for the glory of God.

Amen.
