Born in Thagaste, North Africa, and married to Patricius, a man of temper and pagan beliefs, Monica faced numerous trials in her marriage and family life.

This book offers a collection of 25 prayers and a novena, each imbued with the spirit of St. Monica's resilience and faith. Accompanied by beautiful illustrations, these prayers are not just words of supplication but also of empowerment, reflecting Monica's journey and her unwavering belief in the power of prayer. The book also features several biblical verses, providing a scriptural foundation for the challenges of marriage and family life, resonating with verses such as Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." St. Monica's veneration has touched many lives across the world. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the impact of a praying mother.
