Saint Monica (Monnica) of Hippo

Monica of Hippo by Gozzoli

Monica of Hippo, by Benozzo Gozzoli (c. 1421—1497). From Wikipedia.

Almighty God, who didst graciously hear the prayers of blessed Monnica for the conversion of Augustine her son: Grant that we in our intercession may likewise never falter in love nor be wearied in asking; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

¶ 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.
