Saint Monica was the mother of Saint Augustine of Hippo. Monica was born in North Africa to a Christian mother and a pagan father. As a devout Christian she prayed for the conversion of her husband and son. Her prayers were answered when St. Augustine converted to Christianity in his 30s - going on to become a doctor of the Church and a highly influential figure. Saint Monica is the patron saint of conversions, married women, mothers, and difficult marriages.

Prayer to Saint Monica on the back of the card:
Exemplary Mother of the great Saint Augustine, you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven.
Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God.
Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray.
Amen.
