Monica and Augustine: Blessed Are They Who Mourn

Saints Monica and Augustine are two great saints in the Catholic Church. They faced many spiritual trials together. Monica was a devout Christian, mother, and wife. Her son, Augustine, was also a devout Christian and priest. Before that happened, he had many bad habits that didn't please God. Monica prayed every day for Augustine, and eventually he turned back to Christianity. Augustine is known as a great teacher of the Catholic faith. Monica is known for her great faith and love of God. They show us how to be good Christians and trust in God. How can you be faithful to God? Saints are real-life heroes of faith who inspire us by their virtues to become more like Christ. In the Saints and Me! series, these beautifully illustrated early-reader books tell the real stories of saints that come to life for children.
