Day Nine - Novena to St. Monica for Conversions

Day Nine: Novena To Saint Monica

Exemplary Mother of the Great Augustine,
You perserveringly 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.

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

(mention 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 Spirit,
One God forever and ever. Amen.

Novena for Conversions Coming Soon

August is a very important month. It is the month in which many Catholic parishes are putting together their RCIA classes. RCIA students begin studying the true teaching of Mother Church, and misconceptions and ignorance fall away. Many of these students journey all the way to Easter Vigil when they will be received into the Church.

Perhaps you are wondering if there are people in your life who are ready to take a closer look at Mother Church. I invite you to pray a novena to St. Monica for the conversion of someone in your life.

Novena coming soon. . .
