Novena to St. Monica - Day 1

Today, we would like to start this novena by praying for peace. As St. Monica prayed for her son, St. Augustine, to experience a conversion, we would like to pray for all people who are inflicting violence around the world, particularly in the Middle East. Let's pray that they may also experience a conversion, that the violence will stop through the intercession of St. Monica, and that peace will reign.   We will also pray for your intentions. You can post your prayer intentions here: http://www.praymorenovenas.com/st-monica-novena/#respond Here are the prayers for today:

Day 1 - St. Monica Novena Dear Saint Monica, you were once the mournful mother of a prodigal son. Your faithfulness to prayer brought you and your son so close to God that you are now with him in eternity. By your intercession and God’s grace, your son St. Augustine became a great and venerable Saint of the Church. Please take my request to God with the same fervor and persistence with which you prayed for your own son. (Mention your intentions here) With your needs, worries and anxieties, you threw yourself on the mercy and providence of God. Through sorrow and pain, you constantly devoted yourself to God. Pray for me that I might join you in such a deep faith in God’s goodness and mercy. Above all, dear Saint Monica, pray for me that I may, like your son, turn from my sin and become a great saint for the glory of God. Amen.
