Son Rise Morning Show - Pray, Hope, and Don’t Worry: Patti Armstrong on St. Monica’s 17-Year Prayer

Patti Armstrong, co-author of What Would Monica Do? Consolation, Hope, and Inspiration in the Spirit of St. Monica for Those Bearing the Cross of a Loved One Who Is Away from the Faith, joins the Son Rise Morning Show ahead of the Feast of St. Monica on August 27. Patti shares how St. Monica persevered in prayer for 17 years for the conversion of her son, St. Augustine, without ever putting God on a deadline. They discuss the pain of watching a loved one walk away from the Catholic faith, the temptation to become discouraged, and the hope St. Monica offers to parents, spouses, grandparents, and anyone praying for someone they love. They also highlight a new nine-day St. Monica novena resource available through the Ascension app and reflect on how Monica's prayers ultimately bore fruit far beyond the conversion of one person—through St. Augustine's writings and ministry, countless souls have been touched for more than 1,500 years.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
