Monica was of Berber descent. She was born in Roman Africa. Her \nparents brought her up as Christian and married her to an older pagan man named Patricius, a curialis of Thagaste \n(located in modern-day Souk Ahras, Algeria). He was a man of kindness, but also a man given to violent tempers and \nadultery. Augustine reports that despite the prevalence of domestic violence at the time, because of her obedience to \nhim, Monica was never beaten by Patricius. Initially, she got on poorly with her mother-in-law, but Monica won her \nover by her respectfulness, patience, and gentleness. Monica attended Holy Mass daily and cultivated the virtue of \npatience. She advised other wives, who were beaten, to hold their tongues around their husbands, rather than proudly \nwithstand them. Eventually, she converted Patricius to Christianity and calmed his violent nature. Monica bore three \nchildren, among them Augustine. Augustine made her very happy with his successes as a scholar and teacher, but he \nalso made her very ashamed with his debauchery. For ten years, Augustine lived with his mistress and subscribed to \nManichaeism. Monica sent Augustine to a bishop to be convinced of his errors. The bishop, however, was unable to \nprevail, and he advised St. Monica simply to continue to pray for her son. He told her, \"it cannot be that the son of \nthese tears should perish.\" When her spouse Patricius died, Monica joined Augustine in Italy. There, some time later, \nshe had the pleasure of seeing her son, at the age of 33, converted and baptized by Ambrose. Not long after, as she \nwas preparing to return to Africa, she died at the age of 56 at the port of Ostia. As recounted by Augustine, before \nshe died she told him: \"There was indeed one thing for which I wished to tarry a little in this life, and that was \nthat I might see you an orthodox Christian before I died. My God hath answered this more than abundantly, so that I \nsee you now made his servant and spurning all earthly happiness.
