Prayer to Santa Monica to ask for help for a son

O God, who gave the conversion of his son Augustine to the tears of Santa Monica so that from your enemy he was one of the luminaries of your Church, look at my tears and answer the prayers of a desolate mother.

The pain of seeing you outraged by the son you gave me to make him a Saint is the most terrible test to which I can be subjected in this life. My God, if this is because of my sins, punish me in another way, but let my son stop offending you. Deh! forgive him and forgive me, O Lord, so that we both enjoy the good fortune to praise and bless you forever.
So be it.

PRAYER IN SANTA MONICA

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!
