Dear St. Monica, troubled wife and mother, many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith, you prayed daily for the conversion of your beloved husband, Patricius, and your beloved son, Augustine.

Your prayers were answered.

Grant me that same fortitude, patience, and trust in the Lord.

Intercede for me, dear St. Monica, that God may favorably hear my plea for, (Mention your intention here) and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen

A Monastery in the Desert connects to the Lay Faithful through the Internet.

This article from Time Magazine in 1996 takes the topic of 'Finding God on the Web' and is a good show of Science being integrated with Religion to connect the world.

RELIGION (TIME MAGAZINE 1996)
BY JOSHUA COOPER RAMO CHAMA
THE MONASTERY OF CHRIST IN THE DESERT SITS at the end of a bumpy half-hour drive down a mined red-clay road that wends into the azure sky of north-western New Mexico like a curl of Christmas ribbon reaching toward heaven- The main sanctuary, fashioned from brown adobe and perched on a small hill, is warmed by burning pinon and scented by freshly baked bread. In the late afternoon the surrounding canyon glows with a purple twilight. At night the waters of the Chama River gossip with the birds and the stars weave a gossamer blanket overhead. No matter what your faith, it is an easy place in which to be spiritual.
It is not, however, an easy place to be technological. Thirty-two kilometres from the nearest power line and perhaps twice as far from the nearest phone, the monastery is more than two hours from Albuquerque and an hour from anything that resembles civilization. No telephone bells fracture the silence. No TV images smear the crisp evening air. If you must reach one of the monks, a hand-carved wooden sign offers a simple 16th century suggestion: "Ring this bell."
Or you can send E-mail, in care of porter@christdesert.org
Remote as they may seem, the brothers of Christ in the Desert are plugged into the Internet. Using electricity generated by a dozen solar panels and a fragile data link through a single cellular phone, the monks have developed a heavily trafficked Benedictine home page and started a new business designing and maintaining other people's Websites. The order's work has even caught the eye of the Holy See. Last month Webmaster Brother Mary Aquinas flew to Rome for consultations and to lend a hand building what the Vatican hopes will be the greatest-let alone the holiest-site on the World Wide Web.
