The Church remembers today Santa Monica, mother of Sant'Agostino. Pope Francis has repeatedly indicated her as a model to be imitated, above all for the constant prayer addressed to God, a dialogue of faith that supported his Christian journey. This afternoon Pope Francis visited the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio, and stopped to pray in the Chapel of Santa Monica, mother of the Saint to whom the church is dedicated, whose tomb is kept there. After the prayer, the Holy Father returned to the Vatican ". <Blockquote class =" twitter-tweet "> <p lang =" it "dir =" ltr "> <a href =" https://twitter.com/hashtag / 27 August?
