Memorial of Saint Monica


August 27 - Memorial of Saint Monica

Saint Monica is the example of persistence in prayer.  Her pleading to God for the conversion of her son, Augustine, was heard.  What faith, to continue to pray, even when things seem impossible.  She did not give up.

Are there prayers that you gave up because the progress was not immediately evident?  Never doubt that your prayers are heard.  Follow the example of Saint Monica - when in doubt, pray, pray, pray.
"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."  ~Philippians 4:6
