This Catholic devotional artwork portrays Saint Monica at Ostia, near the end of a life marked by perseverance, prayer, and love for her son, Saint Augustine. Saint Monica gazes toward heaven with tears in her eyes and her hands resting peacefully over her heart. Behind her, the Mediterranean coast glows beneath the warm light of sunset, recalling the final period she spent with Augustine at Ostia after witnessing the answer to the prayer she had carried for many years: her son’s return to the Christian faith. Saint Monica is remembered especially for her unwavering prayers for Augustine. Her story has made her a beloved intercessor for mothers, parents, and families praying for children who have wandered from the faith.
