27 AUGUST SANTA MONICA. Prayer to be recited today

Wife and mother of unspeakable evangelical virtues, to whom the Good God has given grace, through his unshakeable faith in front of every tribulation and his constant confident prayer, to see her husband Patrizio and his son Augustine converted, accompany and guide us, brides and mothers on our arduous journey towards holiness. Santa Monica, you who have reached the peaks of the Most High, from above watch and intercede for us who reel in the dust between a thousand and a thousand difficulties. We entrust our children to you, make them a beautiful copy of your Augustine and give us the joy of living with them moments of intense spirituality such as you lived in Ostia, to be together where you are. Collect all our tears, water the wood of the Cross of our Jesus so that abundant heavenly and eternal graces may flow from it! Santa Monica pray and intercede for all of us. Amen!
