Perhaps the most inspiring part of his story is the relationship between **a praying mother and a wandering son**. St. Monica prayed for Augustine for many years before seeing his conversion…
A Prayer to St. Augustine, Teacher of the Church O glorious St. Augustine, servant of God and teacher of the Church, you once searched for happiness in the things of this world, only to discover that your heart could find true peace only in God.
Through the prayers of your mother, St. Monica, and the loving mercy of God, you were led from confusion into truth, from restlessness into peace, and from sin into a life of holiness.
Pray for me, dear St. Augustine, that I may never become so distracted by the noise of this world that I forget the quiet voice of God speaking to my heart.
Help me to seek God's truth, even when it challenges me, to turn away from whatever separates me from Him, and to have the courage to begin again when I stumble.
When my heart is restless, lead me back to Christ.
When I am tempted to give up, teach me perseverance.
And when I become too comfortable in my faith, stir within me a deeper desire to know, love, and serve God.
help me saint augustine to remember that no matter how far i may wander god's love is always calling me home pray that i may grow in wisdom humility patience and charity and that my life may become a reflection of god's grace May I seek him above all things, love him with all my heart, and trust him with all that I am.
And when my earthly journey is finished, may I rejoice with you and all the saints in the presence of God forever.
Saint Augustine, pray for me.
