The mother of St. Augustine. We celebrate her feast today.
The beautiful image above comes from St. Monica’s Church, in the Diocese of Trenton, from a study of the saint done by John Nava, who crafted the stunning tapestries of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles.
From the Liturgy of the Hours:
God of mercy,
comfort of those in sorrow,
the tears of Saint Monica moved you
to convert her son Saint Augustine to the faith of Christ.
By their prayers, help us to turn from our sins
and to find your loving forgiveness.
Grand this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
