Saint Monica prayed and fasted for the conversion of her son, Augustine, otherwise known as Saint Augustine. Saint Monica shared her wisdom that later inspired Saint Augustine to receive Christ's love in his heart.
“Son, for my own part I no longer find joy in anything in this world. What I am still to do here and why I am here I know not, now that I no longer hope for anything from this world. One thing there was, for which I desired to remain still a little longer in this life, that I should see you a Catholic Christian before I died. This God has granted me in superabundance, in that I now see you His servant to the contempt of all worldly happiness. What then am I doing here?”
Saint Monica, pray for us!
