Perhaps the secret of all prayer and holiness of life is wrapped in God's plea to listen - to listen to His Silent Presence - that Presence that penetrates our being and keeps us in existence - the Presence that fills our souls with love and serenity - that Presence that makes us strong when we feel weak.
"Perhaps the secret of all prayer and holiness of life is wrapped in God's plea to listen - to listen to His Silent Presence - that Presence that penetrates our being and keeps us in existence - the Presence that fills our souls with love and serenity - that Presence that makes us strong when we feel weak." - Mother Angelica | ST.

Using extensive excerpts from the writings of St. Augustine, notably from his "Confessions," the author sheds new light on St. Monica's patience, sweetness, and unwavering determination. This mother never yielded in her efforts to see her beloved son find comfort and peace in God, and she endured countless sacrifices and health risks in her quest to help Augustine embrace the faith.
