One Minute Reflection – 27 August – The Memorial of St Monica
My human life … is a life of faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me….Galatians 2:20
REFLECTION – “How many difficulties there are also today in family relationships
and how many mothers are anguished because their children choose mistaken ways!
Monica, a wise and solid woman in the faith, invites us not to be discouraged
but to persevere in our mission of wives and mothers,
maintaining firm our confidence in God and clinging with perseverance to prayer.”
… Pope Benedict XVI (27 August 2006)
PRAYER – God our Father, comforter of the sorrowful,
You accepted St Monica’s offering of tears for the
conversion of her son, Augustine.
Help us too, by their intercession to be truly contrite
for our sins and to live in a life of faith in Your Son,
who loved us and gave Himself for us. St Monica,
pray for us amen.
