THE SAINT MONICA CLUB How to Wait, Hope, and Pray for Your Fallen-Away Loved Ones by MAGGIE GREEN

Description

In the fourth century, a young man named Augustine turned his back on the Church, plunging into a frenzied life of lust and dissipation. His renunciation left Monica, his pious Catholic mother, weeping and praying for his salvation . . . for more than a decade! Like so many Catholics today, Monica wrestled daily with the pain of having a loved one fall away from the Faith. Like us, she often feared that her prayers and tears were of little worth, empty, futile. Not so! After nearly two decades, Augustine returned to the Faith, and in a big way. Maggie Green, a long time member of the “The Saint Monica Club” (good Catholics suffering like Monica the rejection of the Faith by persons they love) shows us how persevering as Monica did in devoted love for straying souls will not only quiet the aching cry of our hearts, but will also draw our lost loved ones back to the Faith and into the arms of Jesus again.
