    St. Monica

    St. Monica was born in Northern Africa, in 332, of Christian parents. Although she was raised with a love and fear of God and her girlhood was one of singular innocence and piety, she was given in marriage to Patritius, a pagan of Tagaste. She obeyed and served him as her master, and labored to get him to God by her affectionate behavior and holy life.

    Mother of St. Augustine

    One of the happy fruits Monica reaped from her patience was to see him baptized a year before he died. They had two sons and one daughter, one son being St. Augustine, who was born in November, 354. When Augustine was seventeen, his father died. As he grew up his mother endeavored continually to instill into him sentiments of piety. While studying at Carthage he was seduced by the Manicheans and drawn into that heresy. Monica grieved bitterly and prayed incessantly for his conversion. In order to avoid his mother’s entreaties, Augustine went to Rome.

    Upon his arrival he fell dangerously ill, and he attributed his recovery to the prayers of his mother. From Rome he went to Milan in 384, where he taught rhetoric. While in Rome, St. Ambrose convinced Augustine of the errors of the Manicheans, and he renounced that heresy, but continued to search for the truth. St. Monica followed him to Milan, and upon learning that he was no longer a Manichee, she redoubled her tears and prayers to God for his conversion. Her sorrow was turned into joy when Augustine was baptized with some of his friends at Easter, in 387. They set out together for Africa.

    At Ostia, where they were to embark, St. Monica fell ill. Conversing with Augustine one day, she said, “Son, there is nothing now to keep me here; I had but one object in life, and that was to see you a Christian and a Catholic. God has done much more, in that I see you now despising all earthly happiness and entirely devoted to His service”.

    St. Monica suffered much during her last illness. On its ninth day she surrendered her holy soul to God, at the age of fifty-six, in the month of November, 387. Her remains were interred at Ostia, but in 1430, they were translated to Rome and placed in the Church of St. Augustine. May this St. Monica pendent serve as a testament of faith and love for all mothers who seek to raise their family in the holy Christian faith.
