St. Monica’s Prayer
For many long years St. Monica prayed for her son’s conversion, yet, despite her tears and prayers he only fell deeper into sin. One day she went to a bishop and told him of her grief. The bishop told her not to be discouraged, since it was impossible that the child of so many tears and prayers should be lost. His words came true; Augustine was converted and became a great saint. For eighteen years his mother prayed for him without ceasing.
