Blessed is the Kingdom

Seeking The Kingdom In All Things

My Kinship with St. Monica


Today I celebrate the eleven year anniversary of my diaconate ordination. As a result, the feast of St. Monica will always hold a place in my heart. For me, St. Monica represents love and patience. Her love and prayers for her son have inspired Christians throughout the centuries. One of the gifts of this blog has been to learn that I am not alone in this belief. Consistently I find that internet searches for St. Monica bring many more visitors to this blog than I would have ever imagined. In honor of St. Monica I would like to direct my readers once again to a simple post on motherhood. You can find it here.

    Fr Christian,
    I love Monica’s final request to her sons on her death bed; “One thing only I ask you, that you remember me at the altar of the Lord wherever you may be.” As a priest this perspective inspires me.
