Artwork
by the Benedictine Sisters of Turvey Abbey
St. Monica of Hippo c.331 - 387.
Born in Thagaste (now Algeria). She was a Christian
given in marriage to a pagan, Patricius. Despite her difficult home life Monica
kept her faith and continued to pray for her family. Both her husband and
mother in law eventually became Christians.
Monica is best known as mother to Augustine of
Hippo who led a profligate lifestyle to the dismay of his mother. Her example
and persistent prayer, together with the influence of St. Ambrose of Milan,
eventually brought him to baptism. Augustine is honoured as one of the great
saints and teachers of the Church, the life of his mother is recorded in his
famous 'Confessions'.
They are
celebrated close together, as they remained in life, St. Monica's feastday is
27th August the day before St. Augustine's on 28th August.
