Saint Monica
- 1. By: Robert Gonzalez 5A St. Monica
- 3. At the time of his father’s death, Augustine was 17 and a rhetoric student in Carthage. When she was 29, Augustine decided to go to Rome to teach rhetoric Son, nothing in this world now affords me delight. I do not know what there is now left for me to do or why I am still here, all my hopes in this world being now fulfilled.” She became ill shortly after and suffered severely for nine days before her death.
- 4. Monica was a woman of great inner resources buoyed up by a profound faith, but it did not go untested Monica's whole life, as well as her sanctification, "was inextricably bound up with Augustine's, her faith, hope, and love were heroically tested and proved pure in the crucible of suffering." Her marriage to Patricius, a pagan Roman official, does not appear to have been a particularly happy one, but it was peaceful and stable due mainly to the patience and prudence of Monica. St. Monica's remains are venerated in the church of St. Augustine, Rome, Italy.
- 5. Her relics were removed from Ostia to the Church of Sant'Agostino in Rofrick. Monica's feast day was inserted into the Roman Calendar in about 1550 and assigned to 4 May, the day on which the Augustinians celebrated her, since on 5 May they celebrated the Conversion of St Augustine, and the exact date of her death is unfortunately not known.[10]
