Monica of Hippo, by Benozzo Gozzoli (c. 1421—1497). From Wikipedia.
¶ Or this:
Grant, O Lord, we beseech thee that, as thy faithful servant Monnica, continuing in love and abounding in prayer, was heard of thee, and answered by the conversion of her son Augustine: So we in our intercession may never falter in love or weary in asking; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
¶ Or this:
Almighty and everlasting God, who didst enkindle the flame of thy love in the heart of thy servant Monica: Grant to us, thy humble servants, the same faith and power of love; that, as we rejoice in her triumph, we may profit by her example; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
¶ Or this:
Deepen our devotion, O Lord, and use us in accordance with thy will, that inspired by the example of your servant Monica, we may bring others to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost lives and reigns, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
