In our celebration today, the feast days for yesterday and today of Monica and Augustine, two great African saints of the early Church, bring us models of who we strive to be as a faith community. Saint Monica.Disciple of Saint Ambrose. Mother of Saint Augustine, became a disciple of Saint Ambrose the bishop. Year 300. Saint Augustine.

Let us pray for: peace in our world, the famine stricken African countries of Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Burkina Faso, the troubled lands of Africa (especially Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire [former : Ivory Coast ] and Sudan) and the people of Guyana. We also pray for Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold, Diocesan Bishop John Croneberger and his wife. We remember in prayer Francis Coleman, Carolyn Goodwin, Eula Jefferson, Louise Meggett, Janice Nugent, Rudolph Perry, Tony Pina, Victoria Sawyer, Amanda Scott, Rev. Mildred J. Solomon, and Aquinda Toppins. Finally, we pray for all congregations in our diocese and for the safety of our troops.
