What happens when people pray for
you: Lessons from the mother of
a troubled son
Before St. Augus ne was a saint, he was in trouble. And as is o en the case, his mother
knew it.
So Monica did what was necessary. She talked to him, counseled him and implored him to
change. You are on the wrong path, Augus ne. Change your ways. And when he didn’t, she
wept and prayed.
As Augus ne would recall in his spiritual memoir, Confessions, his mother told him of a
dream she had. Weeping bi erly, bere of hope, she found herself standing on a wooden
ruler with a “shining youth walking toward her.” He was smiling and cheerful in stark con-
trast to her wrenching and quite visible grief. The young man asked why she was grieved
and she told him of her lost son. At that point, he consoled her poin ng to where she stood on the ruler saying,
“That where [Monica is], there [is Augus ne] also.”
The ruler, it is thought, corresponded to the orthodoxy of the Catholic Faith (as revealed through the Gospels, Old Testament,
Le ers, Liturgy, Tradi on and Teachings) and one day Augus ne would, Monica is assured, find his way to orthodoxy. But not
yet. And so Monica would con nue to ache.
Before long, Monica would approach a bishop who had once been lost in the heresies in which Augus ne now found himself. She
hoped he might talk some sense into her son. Augus ne recalls,
[My mother] asked [the bishop] if he would be so kind as to talk to me, to rebut my errors, disabuse me of my harmful persuasions
and teach me good ones; for he was used to doing this, whenever he happened to find anyone apt to profit by it. He refused, how-
ever, and very wisely, as I subsequently understood. He replied that I was as yet unteachable; I was puffed up with the novelty of
my heresy and had been tormen ng plenty of unskilled persons with finicky li le ques ons, as she told him. “Leave him alone,” he
advised. “Simply pray for him to the Lord. He will find out for himself through his reading how wrong these beliefs are, and how
profoundly irreverent.”
Her tearfulness con nued and in despera on she plead all the more. The bishop answered,
“Go away now; but hold on to this: it is inconceivable that he should perish, a son of tears like yours.”
Augus ne would ul mately change his ways. Not only would be become a Chris an, a bishop, a Father of the Church and a saint,
but he became a son who returned home to his mother. A son of tears who did not perish.
What is so extraordinary about this story isn’t simply Augus ne’s conversion, but the prayers that converted him. In his deepest,
darkest and most dislocated hours, as Augus ne would freely admit, it wasn’t his prayers that brought him to God. He wasn’t
even praying. It was his mother’s.
Lest we ever take for granted the power of our prayers and the responsiveness of God in the lives of others (or ourselves), we
should take a moment and consider the unfailing devo on of St. Monica and the affirming wisdom of the bishop to “simply pray
for him”. God is earnestly looking for his lost sheep, searching for the lost coin, opening his arms to his prodigal sons and daugh-
ters. But he is further moved by our prayers. Some mes those who are lost don’t know it, but someone who loves them does.
Prayers for the lost are o en unrecognized, but always indispensable. And who knows, perhaps our lives’ greatest prayers were-
n’t even u ered by us. They were offered by somebody else.
Perhaps that’s what one needs to start finding their way home. Just ask St. Augus ne.
St. Monica, pray for us.

powinny rozwijać swoje zainteresowania, ale rodzice wysyłając je na dodatkowe zajęcia muszą pamiętać, żeby zostawić dziecku
także czas dla siebie. Każdy rodzic chce oczywiście jak najlepiej dla swojej pociechy, ale musi pamiętać, że te zajęcia muszą
dawać dziecku przyjemność. Nie można ich stresować oczekiwaniem sukcesów w danej dziedzinie, ale wspierać i nagradzać.
Serdecznie zapraszamy do skorzystania z naszej bogatej oferty edukacyjnej poszerzonej o zajęcia dodatkowe na których będzie
nauka języka polskiego przez zabawę.

W związku z otwarciem klubu LEGO zwracamy się do Państwa z uprzejmą prośbą o sponsorowanie/dotację klocków LEGO i

Możliwość rozprowadzenia materiałów promocyjnych z tytułem „sponsor” podczas naszej zabawy szkolnej

Jesteśmy otwarci na inne sposoby promocji. Wierzymy, że pomoc Państwa umożliwi zrealizowanie zamierzonych inicjatyw i
