St. Monica, The Power of a Mother’s
Love, by Giovanni Falbo
Translated by Matthew Sherry, Published by Pauline Media
Using extensive excerpts from the writings of St. Augustine,
notably from his Confessions, Giovanni Falbo sheds new
light on 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. Monica’s
quiet wisdom and courage, coupled with her earnest tears
and prayers to God, bore fruit she could only have dreamed
of.
“Monica is a shining example for families today,
bringing them courage and hope by guaranteeing that with
the grace of God, good will, and perseverance, any difficulty
can be overcome in building a true Christian family founded
upon the values of the Gospel”— Giovanni Falbo
This title includes an index of references to Monica
within St. Augustine’s works. It also features black
and white photos of basilicas and churches honoring Monica
and Augustine. |
