St Monica - Tears That Moved Heaven
For nearly two decades, St. Monica wept and prayed for her son Augustine — a brilliant mind consumed by pride, lust, and false beliefs. Her battle wasn’t fought with swords or in courts, but on her knees, with tears that soaked the earth and reached heaven.
In this episode, journey through Monica’s perseverance: her endurance of a difficult marriage, her tireless pursuit of Augustine across cities and seas, and the prayers that seemed unanswered — until God’s timing brought one of history’s greatest conversions.
From sorrow to triumph, from tears to grace, discover how the relentless love of a mother shaped the faith of a saint.
