The Life of Saint Monica
Produced by David McClamrock
"The Life of Saint Monica" by F. A. Forbes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book narrates the life of Saint Monica, focusing on her role as a devoted mother and her unwavering faith, even amidst personal struggles and a challenging marital life with her pagan husband, Patricius. Monica's journey ultimately revolves around her relationship with her son, St. Augustine, highlighting themes of maternal love, perseverance, and faith. The opening of the book introduces us to the early life of Monica in Tagaste, where she is raised in a Christian household. As the narrative unfolds, we see her character shaped by the struggles of living with a pagan husband and the concerns for her children, particularly Augustine, who gradually drifts away from his Christian upbringing. Monica’s gentle strength and the challenges she faces, including her husband's temper and the societal influences on her children, set the stage for her relentless prayers and hopes for their spiritual well-being. The opening highlights her unwavering commitment to her faith and her deep love for her family, foreshadowing the pivotal role she plays in Augustine's eventual conversion.
