A Novena for the Conversion of a Loved One: Through the intercession of St. Monica (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798254217770)

When someone you love is far from God, the grief can be quiet, deep, and long-lasting.

This Catholic novena was written for those who are praying for the conversion of a son or daughter, spouse, parent, friend, or other loved one who has drifted from the faith, rejected the Church, or seems spiritually far away. Rooted in the witness of St. Monica and St. Augustine, this book offers nine days of prayer, meditation, Scripture, and surrender for those carrying one of the heaviest intentions of the heart.

Inside, you will find:

• a full 9-day novena for the conversion of a loved one
• substantial daily meditations on prayer, grace, waiting, surrender, and hope
• reflections on St. Monica, St. Augustine, St. John Henry Newman, and the mystery of conversion
• a litany for the conversion of a loved one
• traditional and original prayers for specific conversion intentions
• prayers for parents, spouses, and those who have prayed for years without visible answer
• an examination of conscience for those praying for another's conversion
• Rosary meditations for the conversion intention
• a closing act of surrender to God's mercy

This is not a book of easy answers or emotional slogans. It is a reverent, substantial devotional for Catholics who know what it means to keep praying when nothing seems to change. It speaks honestly about free will, grace, suffering, long waiting, and the hidden work of God in the soul.

Whether you are praying for:

• an adult child who has left the faith
• a spouse who no longer believes
• a friend or relative far from the sacraments
• someone elderly or dying
• or a loved one whose soul you have carried before God for many years

This novena will help you pray with greater confidence, honesty, and peace.

If you have ever whispered the same prayer for years and wondered whether God still sees, this book was written for you.
