St. Monica Novena

“My mom left the catholic church over 30 years ago. she is non-denomination but she has been anti-catholic for as love as i’ve been alive. the Holy Spirit brought me to the catholic church and i got confirmed at last years Easter vigil. i have been praying for her reversion and for my all my 7 siblings conversions. i recently found a book on her bookshelf about being “born again catholic” by an author who tried to disprove catholism and it ended up making him catholic. i also found a book inspired by Pope John Paul the 2 and a few books written by priests, which she refused to read in the past. we were at Bible study over christmas break and she admitted that she needs to stop being so judgmental of catholics. she isn’t quite there yet, but there has been progress. Thank you St Monica!!!”

“I just found out today, that my niece who is not Catholic and currently pregnant with her 2nd child, is going to baptize both children in the Catholic faith once she gives birth! Prayer is real and I thank St Monica for interceding and praying to soften the heart of my niece to be open to baptism. God is great!”

“My dearest St. Monica, On your feast day, I want to thank you from the deepest part of my heart. I came to you with something very close to my heart, and you knew exactly why. You understood the love behind every prayer and everything I quietly placed in your care. Thank you for teaching me that sometimes the greatest act of love is to keep praying while surrendering the people we love completely to God. Your life has reminded me that waiting does not mean God is doing nothing, and that a prayer offered with love is never wasted. Thank you for teaching me patience when I want answers, hope when I cannot see what lies ahead, and trust when all I can do is place someone I love in God's hands. Please continue to keep everything I entrusted to you close to your heart. Help me love gently and without pressure, just as you loved your own son. May I learn to pray more and worry less, knowing that God knows what is best. And thank you, too, for bringing me closer to your beloved Augustine. I f”
