Novena St. Monica Day 9

Novena to St. Monica

For Fallen Away Catholics and for Full Communion of all Christians

Day 9

O glorious St. Monica, on this last day
of our novena, we bring to you the
concerns of many young mothers, teenage
mothers who are not yet prepared for the
motherhood. Unwanted pregnancies are a
big problem in our time. Many young people have to stop their schooling and assume
responsibilities that they could not tackle
because of this problem. Enlighten our young people and give them teachers that will make them understand that sex outside of marriage is dangerous and sinful. Inspire them to enjoy their youth without sinning and lead them to
the joy of spiritual things. Amen.

Daily Prayer









Exemplary mother of the Great Augustine,you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven. Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God.









Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray.









Dear St. Monica, troubled wife and mother, many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime. Yet, you never despaired or lost faith. With confidence, persistence, and profound faith, you prayed daily for the conversion of your beloved husband, Patricius and your beloved son, Augustine.









Grant me that same fortitude, patience, and trust in the Lord. Intercede for me, dear St. Monica, that God may favorably hear my plea for all Catholics who have fallen away from or are not fully living the faith and all Christians to join in Full Communion with the Church and grant me the grace to accept his will in all things, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.
