Monica of Hippo


 

Saint Monica of Hippo (333 - 387) is a Christian saint and mother of Saint Augustine.

A traditional prayer to St. Monica:

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.
