Here is the May 4 Noonday Prayer service, featuring St. Monica (or Monnica). She is most noted for being St. Augustine's mother, but there was more to her than that. I thought this was a lovely icon; we know that she and her son lived in North Africa, so it may reflect that heritage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca5s2VX2Sf8

Saints Alive!
I have been privileged to offer Noonday Prayer at my church, usually on Thursdays, which doesn’t matter because it’s on Youtube forever. [It’s amazing what can be done with a smartphone and a smart, helpful parish administrator!] The service is brief, with a place for a meditation. We usually look at the Episcopal calendar of saints, who are nearly always honored on their death dates, not their birth dates. Here is a hymn by medieval saint Hildegard of Bingen to set the mood.
