Prayer of St. Monica Ministry to its Patron
| Good Saint Monica, implore God’s mercy on our prodigal sons and daughters, that they should come to know, accept, and cherish the unconditional love of their Heavenly Father. Good Saint Monica, obtain for me a measure of your virtues, that my fallen-away loved ones should come to know Christ through my example. Good Saint Monica, intercede for those of my family and friends who are walking in darkness, that they should return to the ineffable light of our holy Faith. Good Saint Monica, pray that I should seek and accept God’s Will in all things, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. |
