Novena to St. Monica - Day 2

Today, let's pray for all members of the family -- in particular for grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren. The vocation of being a mother or father is extremely important in our society and in the eyes of God. We would like to pray for all mothers and fathers to be good and holy examples for their children. St. Monica prayed diligently for her children for years on end, so let's ask her to pray for the children and grandchildren in our lives!  You can post your prayer intentions here: http://www.praymorenovenas.com/st-monica-novena/#respond Here are the prayers for today:

Day 2 - 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.
