Praying for adult children is a whole new ballgame. When children are small, parents worry about their health and well-being, and if we are blessed to have healthy children, that means scrapes and bruises and maybe a cast at worst. The older our children get, the bigger the stakes and the bigger the worries. Bullying, driving, dating, jobs, sports, the list is so long. Then they graduate from high school, then college, and suddenly, the whole wide world is swallowing them.

Saint Monica is a treasure to me. Some saints are hard to connect with. As much as I love and admire Saint Joan of Arc, it’s hard to connect her life with mine. Same with Saint Catherine of Siena. I was just starting my conversion path to Catholicism when we moved into our home only a few blocks from Saint Monica’s Catholic Church. It has been our parish home for more than 20 years. Our youngest son went to the parish school from kindergarten through eighth grade. I have dozens of friends I’ve met over the years through the school or the parish, and whether it’s issues with husbands or our children, we’ve all offered it up to Saint Monica’s intercession.
