My favorite saint St Monica of course There…
My favorite saint? St. Monica, of course! There are so many others that I love, but St. Monica has been special to me since I was a little girl – and that was a long time ago! It is believed that St. Monica, through her love, prayers and tears brought about the conversion of her son – the wonderful St. Augustine. Let’s hear it for the prayers of mothers!!!

I’ll second that for the prayers of mothers … mothers make the world go around – literally … which reminds me of some Native American cultures that used to have (maybe they still do) the Council of Grandmothers and that council had the final say with regards to going to war or not … so if in the Long House the men voted to go to war, they would then have to get the nod to go ahead from the Council of Grandmothers … the thinking apparently was that only women know the pain and miracle of giving birth thus only those who know such should be the ones then that permit the course of actions to take lives born of other mothers … too bad the Beltway doesn’t have a corresponding honored Council but i digresss
