✝️ NOVENA TO ST. MONICA (for the Conversion of a Loved One) — https://youtu.be/opxhdfZY5yo
Do you have someone in your life who has drifted from the faith, wandered into doubt, or seems far from God right now? This novena is for them. Bring their name to St. Monica each day and ask her to intercede the way she did for her own son, with patience, with trust, and without giving up.
St. Monica spent nearly twenty years praying, fasting, and weeping over her son Augustine, who ran wild for most of his youth before becoming one of the Church’s greatest saints. She never lost hope, even when things looked hopeless, and a bishop once told her that “the son of these tears shall never perish.” She also had a difficult marriage to a pagan husband, and her quiet, steady example eventually helped bring him to the faith too. Today she’s the patron saint of mothers, wives, and the conversion of loved ones, which makes her novena a natural fit for anyone praying for family who’ve drifted away.
Novena begins this Tuesday, August 18, 2026.
