Novena Prayer To Saint Monica

Exemplary Mother of the Great Augustine,
Thou perserveringly pursued thy 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.

Dear St Monica, troubled wife and mother,
Many sorrows pierced thy heart
During thy lifetime.
Yet thou never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence and profound faith,
Thou prayed daily for the conversion
Of thy beloved husband, Patricius
And thy beloved son, Augustine.

Grant me that same fortitude,
Patience and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
That God may favorably hear my plea
For

[State your petition here.)

And grant me the grace
To accept His will in all things,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
In the unity of the Holy Ghost,
One God forever and ever.
Amen.
