St Monica



Everyone is probably going to write something today about Monica being the patron saint for alcoholics because she nipped a little when she was a young girl.  She wasn't an alcoholic by any means however.  If you are an alcoholic a good saint for you is Venerable Matt Talbot - not canonized yet, but he drank like a fish.

I'm not saying you shouldn't pray to Monica however.  She just wasn't a drunk.  Monica cried a lot though.  Makes me think of this song.
