Today, let us pray for all Catholic mothers who are mourning the loss of children to agnosticism, atheism, serious sin. Let us ask dear St. Monica to bring back to the Catholic Faith, all who have lapsed.
A Prayer to St. Monica, for Mothers
Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine, you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven. Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God. Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray. Amen.
A Prayer to St. Monica, for Children
Great St. Monica, patroness of fathers and mothers, please take our children, especially those who have turned from the ways of God and His Church, under your protection. Let them always remain faithful to their baptismal vows. Give them strength to walk always in the ways of the Lord, despite the temptations and false values they find in the world today. Grant that they may share with you n the joys of eternal life in God. Amen.
At Mass today, I prayed for all the moms who read my blogs and tweets.
