There is power in her requests!
Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui was struggling to advance his career. His mother prayed for him to find success in the faith, and he is now a practicing Catholic. Saint Monica’s son left the faith. She prayed for him as he left home, and he was later baptized; alongside his own son.
When our mothers pray for us, they are looking out for our souls and the future. Leading us to deeper faith, a mother’s prayers are never ignored.
What do we put into our prayers? Are we looking out for others?
Let us pray for mothers and those they pray for, blessings upon their good hearts!
