St. Monica, the Ideal Mother and the Patron of Mothers [Fr. George Mary Claret]
St. Monica, the Ideal Mother and the Patron of Mothers
Let's learn from St. Monica how she helped her son, Mr. Augustine to become SAINT Augustine.
God calls everyone to become holy.
Road to Holiness is a lifelong journey.
Mothers play an inevitable role in this Journey.
The Patron (Patroness) of Mothers, St. Monica is an example of it.
St. Augustine, her son, was a pagan.
She wanted to bring him to God by all means.
Making him a Christian was her only aim of life.
It costed her a lot and took almost 18 long tearful years.
She never got discouraged.
She teaches and challenges us, especially Mothers, to be aware of the great responsibility to make their children SAINTS, in other words HOLY.
Definitely, it's God Who makes us holy.
But, He doesn't do it without our cooperation.
The role Mothers play is irreplaceable.
Let's learn from St. Monica and make "becoming holy (SAINTS)" the purpose of our life.
May God help us in this Journey 🙏
