On the 27 & 28 of August, we celebrate the feasts of 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮 and her son 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲. Born in North Africa in the 4th century, St. Monica's faith and dedication to motherhood played a pivotal role in the spiritual formation of one of the most brilliant philosophers and well-known saints of all time – Saint Augustine. Augustine led a hedonistic lifestyle and after many years of St. Monica's prayers, Augustine declared that his mother’s resilience and dedication to prayer is what led him to become the man of God he was meant to be. He was baptized, became a priest, a bishop, a famous Catholic writer, founder of religious priests, and one of the greatest saints that ever lived.
St. Monica, patron saint of mothers, pray for us!
St. Augustine, patron saint of theologians, pray for us! For more info: https://tinyurl.com/2euus7tp
