National Grandparents Day
Though not widely celebrated, today is National Grandparents Day. A resolution passed by Congress and signed into law in 1978 states that the day’s purpose is “to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.”

August 27 - The Feast Day of Saint Monica
Born a Christian in North
Africa, Monica married and bore three children. Through her example, her husband,
Patricius, became a Christian, and she prayed for the conversion of her son
Augustine, who had abandoned his Christian faith for Manichaeism. When he went
to Italy, Monica met him in Milan, where he had met Bishop Ambrose and been
baptized. She died during their return trip to Africa, saying all her hopes had
been fulfilled. May we also never give up encouraging the spiritual
journeys of those we love.

Associates of the Iowa Cistercians, a group of lay men and women who
incorporate Cistercian spirituality into their lives outside the
monastery.
