27th August - Saint Monica
Nothing is far from God - Saint Monica. St. Monica, you were troubled by many sorrows and worries, but you never despaired nor lost hope and trust in God. You patiently and persistently prayed for the conversion of Patricius, your husband, and Augustine your son, and God answered your prayers. Pray for me that I may always have the same confidence, fortitude, patience, persistence, and profound faith and trust in the Lord as I come closer to Him daily.
