In Galatians 6:17, St. Paul stated, “I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.” St. Monica likely didn’t endure physical torture and suffering like St. Paul. But, in a mystical way, and only as a mother could, she bore the “marks” of Christ’s sufferings as she witnessed her son, Augustine, fall into sin and debauchery.
Do you also have loved ones who have fallen away and are in need of Jesus? Talk to St. Monica! And go with her to Jesus.
St. Monica is well-known for praying for her son fervently for nearly 2 decades. The result? Augustine embraced the Catholic Faith, and became one of the most revered Saints of all time.
St. Monica, teach us perseverance and pray for us!
