On St Monica’s Memorial, let us pray for her intercession that the Lord may grant us patience, fortitude and trust – 27 August :

Prayer for the intercession of St Monica

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 husband
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
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 intention 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

St Monica, pray for us!
