Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help,and sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to you I come, before you I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Dear St. Monica,

Troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant to us that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.

Intercede for us, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear our pleas
for all non practicing Catholics (especially our loved ones) and those
discerning conversion to Catholicism.

And grant me the grace to accept His will in all things.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God forever and ever. Amen

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

friends who desire the same for their loved ones.
Lord I also pray for my friends Dave and Dana.

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

May God who listens to the prayers of our hearts hear the tears, fears and worries of parents, siblings and friends of those who have lost their way. May our example be one of inspiration to those in doubt and need. May our broken hearts be offered up in sacrifice for the salvation of those we love.
