The uplifting story of St. Monica and her son St. Augustine. From Tagaste to Carthage to Rome and on to Milan, Monica prayed for her wayward son and shed many tears for him. In the end, her selfless sacrifices and Christian example won for us all one of the great Doctors of the Church. Twenty-three scenes and eighteen characters, along with a superb soundtrack, bring this work vividly to life; furthermore, it teaches us, in a dramatic way, the true power of prayer.
