St. Monica
St. Monica had a wayward child.
He left the church in which he was baptized
And went off to a life of pleasure
Following one cult after another.
And what did she do?
She did not preach or scold or admonish her son.
Rather she wept tears for him.
Tears that God saw
And tears that eventually touched the heart of her son.
And through those tears
Her son came back to the Church and became
St. Augustine.
Perhaps the greatest theologian in the history of the Church.
So never underestimate the power of tears.
