Augustine had written of his mother “her patience was so great that his infidelity never became a cause of quarrelling between them.” Patricius was volatile and violent, but yet never placed his hands on Monica. Monica stood firm and strong in beliefs and what she knew God would see her through. Monica’s reasons became more for the children and more so for Augustine which was her youngest son. Monica and Augustine both endured infliction of the heart, which this connection between them was strong. However, her religious convictions, prayers and pleas open the heavens up for answered pleas. Monica’s virtue as a wife and mother stood out among the hundreds of thousands of women during her time. Monica’s passion for God and the attitude that he blessed her with is very worthy to be emulated. Rebekah as well, had a moral conscious to gain prosperity for her son Jacob. The cost in the end may have caused separation within her children, but they were that way inside her womb and at birth. God blessed her with two nations that would grow and become strong leaders. This was a choice in which she made to make future changes to her
