St. Monica and the Power of Persistent Prayer

Persistence in prayer can change everything! For nearly two decades St. Monica prayed for her wayward son. Years and years of prayers, seemingly unanswered. Countless tears shed with no relief. Yet she would not give up.

Her persistent prayer blessed the whole Church, her son Augustine, became one of the most revered saints of all time.

This devotion includes eighteen contemporary reflections, meditations from the writings of St. Augustine and prayers adapted from the liturgy and other ancient sources.
