Ehren

Ehren was the son of Saint Monica.

Background
Father Clifford mentions Ehren by way of sharing the story of his mother, the Saint Monica's Church's namesake saint. He describes how Saint Monica was enslaved, and her only son taken from her, subsequently also sold into slavery. Despite these circumstances, she remained pious, praying for her son's safety daily and spent her time preaching to the slavers. After sixteen years, one of the slavers converted and helped her escape.

Over the next four years, Monica searched for Ehren. When she found him, it was revealed that he had become a slaver himself. He took his mother as a slave, blaming her for the pain he experienced in his childhood, devising wicked trials to put her through each day. Yet, regardless of this treatment, she would simply smile and say "I forgive you," and emerge unharmed the next day.

This ate away at Ehren, until one day when he realized the errors of his ways, begged her forgiveness, and freed all of the slaves he owned. Father Clifford encourages those in his congregation to pray to Saint Monica for deliverance from their sins, as Ehren was delivered from his.
