The Power of Intercessory Prayer: Lessons from St. Monica & St. Rita

In this episode of Fatima Today, hosts Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the incredible power of intercessory prayer, drawing from the lives of St. Monica and St. Rita. Their perseverance and patience remind us never to give up praying for the conversion of loved ones, as God rewards faithful hearts in ways beyond imagination—just as Monica’s prayers led to the conversion of her son, St. Augustine, who became one of the great doctors of the Church.   We also invite you to join us for our Pilgrimage to Fatima this December—a grace-filled journey to deepen your devotion and experience the heart of the Fatima message. Don’t miss this opportunity to walk where Our Lady appeared and to strengthen your faith in a profound way.   And stay tuned for our next episode, where we’ll highlight the lives of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and Bl. Carlo Acutis, and the exciting path toward their canonization.
