Saint
Monica: The Tears That Changed History
Welcome
to another episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints and since Mother’s
Day is coming up, it seems especially appropriate that this week we discuss one
of the most influential mothers in History – Saint Monica.
Saint
Monica (332–387 AD) is one of the most beloved figures in Christian
history—known for her unshakable perseverance, her years of prayer for her
wayward son Augustine, and her quiet strength in the face of a difficult
marriage. This episode explores her
North African origins, her struggles with her pagan husband Patricius, as well
as her difficult Mother-in-Law, her tireless pursuit of Augustine across
continents, and the spiritual legacy that helped shape one of the greatest
theologians of all time.
Featuring
historical context, early Christian culture, Augustine’s own writings, and
centuries of tradition, this episode reveals the depth, humanity, and heroic
love of the woman whose tears, as one bishop famously said, “would not be
lost.” It will be an amazing episode,
and perfect viewing for Mother’s Day Weekend.
You won’t want to miss it!
