More about these coloring pages

While my youngest colored St Monica's portrait, she asked about the meaning of faith. We discussed how St Monica never stopped praying for her son, saying 'her tears were never wasted' (not from scripture, but a lovely saying!). We noticed how St Monica is often shown with a lamp, symbolizing her prayers lighting the way. These pages are great for a Sunday school lesson or a quiet afternoon at home. As kids color, they can reflect on love, patience, and the strength of a mother's prayers. My kids often ask questions while coloring, making it a wonderful bonding time.
