Description
The challenge of having a pagan husband became an even deeper grief for Monica, a faithful Catholic, when her oldest son, Augustine, turned away from the Church. In college, Augustine, a brilliant student, fell for a “New Age”-like philosophy, along with a string of vices. He eventually returned home, accompanied by his girlfriend and their young son. Throughout it all, Monica persisted in her prayers, which ultimately were answered beyond her imaging–thought not quickly, nor in exactly the way she had thought. Still, God’s grace bore fruit in his time. After seventeen years of spiritual wandering, Augustine experienced a profound conversion, becoming a great saint and one of the most influential theologians in Christian history. And now, we are privileged to have St. Monica accompany us as we consider our own family situations amid the trials in our Church and culture today. Paper.
