On the front a haloed woman kneels at a prie-dieu set with an open book and a standing cross, her head bowed, while behind her a seated man leans his head on his hand over a desk. Along the lower edge runs \u003cstrong\u003eS.ta MONICA ORA PRO NOBIS\u003c\/strong\u003e, Saint Monica, pray for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is her whole story in one frame: the mother at prayer, and the son who has not yet turned. Monica prayed for Augustine for years before he did, which is why she is the patron of mothers and of anyone waiting on a child.
