A Mother's Prayer Brings Her Son Back to the Church

Catholic mothers, do not be afraid! Learn from St. Monica
Behind every great man is a great woman, and in St. Augustine’s case he knew that well. In fact, he declared she didn’t just labor once to give birth to him - she did it twice: Once in the delivery room, and later in her struggle to bring him back to the practice of the Catholic faith.
Augustine was a problem child who strayed far from his Christian roots. He considered his mother an illiterate peasant; and her Bible was full of barbaric stories. So while he was at college, he began to study the trendy Eastern mysticism of the Manicheans, and he dabbled in their occult practices.
Not only that, he ended up a teenage father. Monica, of course, was heartbroken. She prayed passionately for her son — with tears. She sought spiritual counsel from priests and bishops. She even packed her bags and followed Augustine as his career took off.
Nothing seemed to work. But she kept praying as she followed him from North Africa to Rome — and then to the imperial court in Milan. There, at last, Augustine fell under the influence of Christian philosophers — and the preaching of the bishop St. Ambrose.
Once converted, he came to a deep appreciation of his mother’s faith. He called her his “master” in philosophy. He called himself her disciple. And in his memoirs he portrays her as a great mystic, achieving by grace what the greatest pagan philosophers couldn’t achieve by their heroic efforts.
In St. Monica’s life, we see the greatness in the life presented to us … in the Bible and the Church Fathers.
