ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 9th of April
THE TRANSLATION OF SAINT MONICA
Today, we also commemorate the transfer of the holy relics of Saint Monica. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, the translation of the body of Saint Monica, mother of the blessed bishop Augustine, which was brought from Ostia to Rome, under the Sovereign Pontiff, Martin V, and with due honours buried in the Church of Saint Augustine."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Monica, not to think high-mindedly, but to grow in humility pleasing to you; that, despising what is base, she may with unbounded love diligently do whatever is right. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
