Pope Francis makes surprise visit to Rome’s Basilica of St. Augustine
Pope Francis made a surprise visit to the Basilica of St. Augustine on August 27 to pray at the tomb of St. Monica. During his visit to the basilica in Rome’s Campo Marzio neighborhood near Piazza Navona, the pope prayed in the side chapel containing the tomb of St. Monica on her feast day. St. Monica is honored in the Church for her holy example and dedicated prayerful intercession for her son, St. Augustine, before his conversion. Today Catholics turn to St. Monica as an intercessor for family members who are distant from the Church. She is the patron saint of mothers, wives, widows, difficult mar-riages, and victims of abuse. Born into a Christian family in North Africa in 332, Mon-ica was given in marriage to Patricius, a pagan who had a disdain for his wife’s religion. She dealt patiently with her husband’s bad temper and infidelity to their marriage vows, and her long-suffering patience and prayers were rewarded when Patricius was baptized into the Church a year before his death. When Augustine, the eldest of three children, became a Manichean, Monica went tearfully to the bishop to ask for his help, to which he famously responded: “the child of those tears shall never perish.” She went on to witness Augustine’s conversion and bap-tism by St. Ambrose 17 years later, and Augustine became a bishop and Doctor of the Church. Augustine recorded his conversion story and details of his mother’s role in his autobiographical Confessions. He wrote, ad-dressing God: “My mother, your faithful one, wept before you on my behalf more than mothers are wont to weep the bodily death of their children.” St. Monica died soon after her son’s baptism in Ostia, near Rome, in 387. Her relics were moved from Ostia to the Basilica of St. Augustine in Rome in 1424. The Basilica of St. Augustine in Campo Marzo also con-tains a 16th-century statue of the Virgin Mary known as the Ma-donna del Parto, or the Madonna of Safe Delivery, where many women have prayed for a safe childbirth. Pope Francis offered Mass at the basilica on St. Au-gustine’s feast day on Aug. 28, 2013. In his homily, the pope quot-ed the first line of Augustine’s Confessions: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” “In Augustine it was this very restlessness in his heart which brought him to a personal encounter with Christ, brought him to understand that the remote God he was seeking was the God who is close to every human being, the God close to our heart, who was ‘more inward than my innermost self,’ Pope Francis said. “Here I cannot but look at the mother: this Monica! How many tears did that holy woman shed for her son’s conversion! And today too how many mothers shed tears so that their children will return to Christ! Do not lose hope in God’s grace,” he said.

Prayer Requests From The American Catholic Almanac—September 11: A Parish History: For over 225 years, Old St. Peter’s Catholic Church in New York City has held a backstage pass to American history. In the 1770’s, New York Catholics still worshipped in se-cret—usually in a German family’s house on Wall Street. The end of the American Revolution, however, brought religious freedom, and in 1786, they built St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Barclay Street. It was the first Catholic church in the state. Almost immediately, the problem of trusteeism reared its head. In 1787, parish trustees fired their first pastor—the holy Irish Franciscan, Father Charles Whelan—because they did not like his preaching. To replace him, they hired the more eloquent (but less ho-ly) Father Andrew Nugent. Trustees quickly changed their minds, but Nugent proved difficult to remove. So much so, that when Father John Carroll, then provisional Superior of America’s priests, visited St. Peter’s, a disgruntled Father Nugent crashed his Mass and shouted Carroll out of the sanctuary. In 1805, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, became a Catholic at St. Peter’s. In 1806, anti-Catholics rioted at St. Peter’s. And in 1810, the baby that grew up to become New York’s first cardinal, John McCloskey, was baptized at St. Peter’s. By 1836, however, the first St. Peter’s had become too small. So, parishioners took it down, and built a second St. Peter’s. As the twentieth century began, St. Peter’s said goodbye to the families moving away from the once rural neighborhood and hel-lo to an influx of commuters. Sixty years later, the parish witnessed the rise of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers across the street. And on September 11, 2001, it watched those towers fall down. That day, for two hours, the body of the fallen chaplain Fa-ther Mychal Judge, lay in the church’s sanctuary. Later, for almost two months, the parish served as a staging ground for rescue and re-covery operations. In honor of all the history Old St. Peter’s has witnessed, the United States, New York State, and New York City governments have all declared the church a historic landmark.
