Informal Novena to Saint Monica.

 

Welcome Faith, Hope and Love by My Mother Rose to our informal novena to Saint Monica. Over the next nine days I would like to highlight Saint Monica’s importance for mother’s and married women. I also would like to discuss her strengths, courage, and endurance as a woman of great faith, hope, love, and prayer.

I read this in Saint Monica, The Power of a Mother’s Love, by Giovanni Falbo, p.55, “a mother’s love, however, knows no bounds or weariness, and Monica’s was made stronger and more preserving by divine grace. Armed more with love and then with physical strength.”

This paragraph gives us an image of how powerful a mother’s love can be. Because we all know that being a mother is hard work, so is letting go and taking a step back for our children to take risks now that is even harder to do and not so easy to write.

However, Faith, Hope and Love by My Mother Rose the good news is “it doesn’t matter how old you are or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mum” Author Kate Winslet. So, always believe that children will always need their mother’s especially their love, guidance, and patience. Because every day, we get up and remember as women of God we are soft and powerful, both practical and spiritual and our essence is a gift for the whole world.

I am looking forward to this novena and I hope that it can empower and inspire us all to keep going on the journey despite the trials. We are powerful and capable people, therefore, let us bear that in mind over the next nine days.

May God Bless Always, Faith, Hope and Love by My Mother Rose.
