Not that it does matter as I would hold such a Saint in high esteem, black or white, but all the pictures I have seen of her she is white. Note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_of_Hippo
St. Monica please pray for my wayward son to remove is addictions and become a better parent.
I had lost my way from catholicism for a while, the past year or so I have been drawn back to it. I was researching St. Monica because when I was confirmed I had chosen her, but to be honest it was because I liked the name. Now, after reading this, I do not feel that it was a fluke, I know that it was chosen for me and now has a truly special place in my heart.
Dear St. Monica, I thank you for all he past favors you have granted me. Every time I pray to you, I receive so many blessings.
St. Monica, my birthday is fast approaching. My fervent prayer is that he will come back completely already. I hope St. Monica he will be sure of his feelings for me. I pray that he considers me too as a future partner. I pray too that we can spend one whole day together the weekend after my birthday. And that he will love me like he used to before. I love him so St. Monica, I wont cease praying for us to be completely ok again.
Thanks so much St. Monica! I love you!

Please pray for my wife and son St. Monica, for which on your feastday August 27th, my premature son Branden Matthew, died in my arms at 15 days old, and went to Heaven where my wife/his mother who passed away 15 days prior, was able to hold him for the first time. Thank you for your prayers. I love you Vida and Branden and miss you so much. God Bless You!
