Confessions II.xi.20:

But she instantly replied without a moment’s hesitation: ‘The word spoken to me was not “Where he is, there will you be also,” but “Where you are, there will he be also.”

How great must have been St. Monica’s faith! In fact, the greatness that St. Augustine attained served to bring him to “where she was.”

Today is a good day to pray for all in our families who do not practice the Catholic faith, that God might bring them into full communion with his Church.
