Today is the feast of St. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine.  She is known for her tireless prayer for her husband who was an abusive and ill-tempered  pagan and for her son, who had left the faith.

St. Monica is the patron of wives and mothers, abuse victims, alcoholics, victims of verbal abuse, widows, victims of adultery and unfaithfulness, and those in difficult marriages.

St. Monica is the saint to pray for a variety of painful situations.

St. Monica, pray for us!
