We all know St. Monica as the mother who prayed for Augustine.
But here's something you may not know about her.
When Monica was dying, she told her sons not to worry about where she would be buried.
Instead, she simply asked that wherever they were, they remember her at the altar.
After everything she had lived through, perhaps what mattered most to her was knowing that she would be remembered in prayer.
Today, on the Feast of St. Monica, we remember her and all the people we continue to pray for.
And if there's someone you've been praying for for a long time, don't give up just yet. St. Monica understands.
St. Monica, pray for us.
