Some of the greatest stories of faith begin with a searching heart. This week on FORMED, explore the remarkable journey of St. Augustine and the steadfast love of his mother, St. Monica. Together, their stories remind us that God’s grace is always at work, even when the path seems long.
This week’s featured programs include:
For younger viewers and families, The Confessions of St. Augustine from the Littlest Saints series introduces one of the Church’s greatest saints in an engaging and accessible way. Children will discover how Augustine searched for truth, struggled with difficult choices, and ultimately found lasting joy in following Christ.
The featured episode on St. Monica highlights the woman whose persistent prayers became a powerful witness of hope. For years she prayed for her son’s conversion, trusting that God had not abandoned him. Her example continues to encourage parents, grandparents, and anyone praying for a loved one.
The week’s final recommendation is Restless Heart, a dramatic film that brings Augustine’s story to life. From his pursuit of success and pleasure to his unforgettable conversion, the movie captures one of Christianity’s most inspiring journeys of redemption.
Whether you’re introducing these saints to your children or revisiting their stories yourself, this week’s FORMED selections offer encouragement, hope, and a reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.
