Saint Monica is the patron saint of married women, alcoholics, difficult marriages, disappointing children, victims of unfaithfulness, and victims of verbal abuse.

Prayer for the Intercession of Saint Monica:

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 me that same fortitude, patience,and trust in the Lord. Intercede for me, dear St. Monica, that God may favorably hear my plea for (Mention your intention here.)

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.
