Patroness of Mothers and Persevering Prayer O loving St. Monica, faithful wife, patient mother, and devoted servant of God, you wept and prayed for the conversion of your beloved son, Augustine, trusting that God's mercy would triumph in time. Teach us to pray with trust, to love without measure, and to surrender our worries to Christ, as you did with tears and unwavering belief. St. Monica, companion of the sorrowing and model of holy endurance, pray for us and for all who await the return of prodigal hearts. Through your example, may we draw nearer to Jesus, who hears every mother's cry and answers every faithful prayer. Amen.
