  1. I have truly been blessed. In the first week of November 2016 I had to cancel a preparatory course I planned to take for a professional exam. After the cancellation I requested for a refund, but the process was not moving at all despite all my efforts. My only intention in this novena was to get my full refund. By the 5th day of the novena the proprietor of the course personally promised to help the process that has been comatose for more than 4weeks, by the 6th day of the novena I got my full refund of all the monies I paid. I spent the remaining days of the novena in Thanksgiving. Happy Christmas ,God is awesome

  2. I have truly been blessed. Since September my life has been in flux. I have prayed every Novena with the same intentions. “Let me keep my house where I am truly at peace and contentment.” I just found out that I will be able to stay where I am my happiest. I am so grateful. The rest of this Novena will be said for everyone else whose life is in flux.

  3. Thank you Dear Lord, for the beginning healing of my son. May he know by our prayers and your grace that he is on the road to recovery.

  4. Merry Christmas to everyone. Please brothers and sisters in the Lord join me in thanking God for giving me a good job. I’m so grateful to God for answering my prayers.
    I encourage everyone to always be patient when asking God for a favor. Sometimes it seems as if the waiting is too long, but don’t loose hope, keep praying and believing. He will eventually answer you according to His will. Thank God!!!

  5. With Amazing Love from my Hily King Jesus, i have today a lot peace and love in my family. We are very close to our King Jesus!
    Thanks !

  6. Praise God
    I have been praying for my school applications to be accepted. On Thursday I got the best news ever am still thankful that I finally got the chance. God is Good

  7. For my daughter, her boyfriend, and her unborn child. May God bring them close to Him. May His will be done with regard to their relationship; but if they stick together, may they have a Holy and happy marriage.

  8. Thank you God for a Jesus baby what you give to us ❤❤
    Dear father bless my husband and me on ourss Christmas holiday
    Thank you

  9. My son had fallen away from the Faith and was practising another Faith that doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ. I have prayed the Novenas for over one year for my son to return to the Catholic Faith.
    On Christmas Eve I asked my son to accompany me to Church and he did. Praise God, I received the best Christmas gift. My prayers have been answered.

  10. I thank God for your protection and care towards me,My daddy,my sister’s, My brother, My friends Bika, Kofi Korsah and Micky Lord am grateful to you and I pray make great for the whole word at large in Jesus Christ name. Amen and Amen

  11. Thank you dear Jesus for my sons attending mass and continue to live in their faith.Thank you for all the gifts you have given.Thank you Jesus !
    Wish you both Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

  12. I am so Blessed, as I prayed that I can finally, at 63, give myself totally to God, “My Lord, My God, My All”.
    To finally be free. To finally be able to give my husband and 4 boys back to my loving God, as I have been so truly blessed and never truly appreciated God ????. Thank you Father????

  13. Our friend who is the father of 6 children has been looking for work for several months. Ii clouded their family in my intentions and he received news during this novena that the company he most desired to work for will hire him…And at a higher salary than his previous position! Thank you, Jesus, for this incredible blessing for this very humble and holy family.

  14. For one I have been sick for a few weeks and didn’t know if I was going to get any better or not, but I have been feeling so much better and stronger. Also it’s sometimes hard to see where God has been answering my prayers but I feel that with some things that weren’t going so well for my daughter may be making my daughter re-think Catholocism because she asked me to have the prayer group at my Church to pray for my granddaughter. That is a small step or maybe a big one. She has been away from the Church for many years. I told her about prayer groups like this was praying for them. I am sure she would want to thank everyone. I want to thank everyone also. I know God hears our prayers and answers them the way that he feels best or in his time. I missed Church 3 weeks because of my illness but because I felt better I went to Christmas Mass tonight and it was even more special. I realy missed Church. I want to thank everyone again and may God answer your prayers and for Everyone to have a very Merry Christmas, in Jesus’s name, Amen.

  15. Prayed loyally for our son in law who is now cancer free and daughter to be able to bear children again some day. Son in law was told just 4 months ago that he was sterile. Our daughter surprised us tonight with a picture of a tiny baby! I have prayed long and hard for my son in law to be restored to full health!! Praise be to God!! And I prayed for peace in our family and our other daughter and her family joined us for Christmas Eve celebration. Thank you for this Novena! I will remain faithful in prayer

  16. I prayed for my financial struggle to be lifted as I have just purchased a new home & have to furnish it. My prayers were answered, my ex husband of 3 years offered to purchased my mattress set for me. Said he felt called to do this for me.

  17. God really knows what I need even before I ask Him. I have not payed my full tuition fee for Fall 2016. Without paying the balance of $4500 I can’t enroll for Spring. I prayed this novena right after attending the daily mass. Now, I receive the good news from my mother that a friend will lend us the money. I can’t wait to study for Spring. AMDG

  18. This will be short, but i wanted to share. I offered this novena up for my future spouse as I continue my search towards the vocation of married life. During these nine days, nine of my friends got engaged. God has a funny sense of humor.

  19. Today our granddaughter who is incarcerated was visited by a
    priest friend who let us know he had a good visit with her lasting
    for almost two hours. It is the best Christmas gift we could receive – as we had been praying the novena with this intention. Thank you so much for offering the Novena and hope you will enjoy a blessed Christmas.

  20. My cup overflows with the mercy of God. Our 34 year old son, who left the church as a teenager told me yesterday that he has been attending Mass and has gone to confession. My husband and I have been praying for so many years that this might someday happen. We were so discouraged. Now we are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. Thank you dear God for prayers answered.

  21. Leg will heal without surgery! Missed Easter Vigil and Easter masses but should be able to attend Christmas Day mass. Thanks be to God!

  22. Thank you to the good lord almighty. I have nose bleed for 4 days, was admitted to the hospital was discharge. After a couple of days my nose bleed comes back, I was to be hospitalised again when I started the novena, I asked that I will be cured from massive nose bleed. Like a miracle, I mean miracle for me since then my nose bleed stop. Again thanks to the lord god almighty. Praise the lord Jesus Christ.

  23. Thank you Jesus for keeping me out of hospital this Christmas. I have acute colitis and my doctor prescribed such wonderful medicine on Wednesday last, which is working, that it looks like I’ll get to stay home this Christmas. God hears my prayers always and leads to where I can seek help. I cannot live without him in my life and the Holy Euchurist has amazing powers and cures for ill health, of all kinds. I call it my medicine!! God fixes everything for me, but first you have to knock, seek and ask for the grace of ………….He’s always there, always. Will never let you down. “BE NOT AFRAID, I go before you always, come follow me and I will give you rest”. Happy Birthday Baby Jesus. St. Joseph & Mary I love you.

  24. We were having a bad time finding good tenants for some vacant rentals. On the ninth day of novena….we showed a nice family for one of the rentals. They want it and are qualified. Thank you Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

  25. Peaceful and happy stay in US and safe journey from America back to Nigeria. I have peace of mind now than before. Thank you Jesus.

  26. Thank you my Jesus Mary saint Jude Saint Theresa for answering my prayers on the sixth day I passed my driving test after praying this novena ….And praying to all the saints…. my Jesus I love you… my Jesus I thank you ..my Jesus I thank you… my Jesus I thank you

  27. Today on the last day of the Christmas novena, I became aware of my participation in causing the clogging in my nose, resulting in a seeming sinus condition, causing poor air circulation and becoming dependent on medication.. Now that I am aware I can participate to mediate the condition and not be overwhelmed and over powered by it.

  28. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer along with my father I’ve had several friends suffer from this disease I’ve been battling it for 2 years and find myself continuing to battle although up against it big-time the last couple of months I prayed and prayed and prayed and became stronger and stronger and faith and had a clear understanding that no matter good news or bad it’s all good and I prayed for Jesus to give me more time and I would be more of a better person and have more faith and I was blessed to have a little bit of good news with some blood work so hopefully I can continue on a little longer pray to Lord Jesus and all the saints have faith for the richest man in the world can’t buy yesterday our only purpose in life to have faith in the love of God When You Close Your Eyes you should see his face for Nothing Else Matters

  29. My sister had a melt down last night and is the hospital. I’ve been keeping her in my prayers during this novena.
    My priest showed up unexpectingly this afternoon and he said he’ll pray for her at Christmas mass
    Please pray for her, her name is Ellen

  30. JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR, THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY PLEA IN REGARDS TO A FAVORABLE SETTLEMENT IN REGARDS TO MY ACCIDENT. I RECIEVED A CALL FROM MY ATTORNEY WEDNESDAY. IN JESUS’S NAME PRAISE TO YOU.

  32. Very thankful for prayers answered in a family relationship which has been very strained for a long time. This morning my son helped me cook our dinner for Christmas Eve and then we ate breakfast together.
    Thank you Jesus and our Blessed Mother! Baby steps❤️

  33. I celebrated my Christmas dinner last week on Sunday Dec.18 and PRAISE GOD my son came
    After not seeing him for approx. 15 months for I don’t even know for what reason. I prayed the Novena and on the second day he said he would come.
    I had asked the Lord for Peace, Love and forgiveness within our home and in our family and GOD is great. I am so grateful that he answered my prayers.

  34. My son has been blessed with gainful employment that he is increasingly happy in! Praise God! Now I ask humbly for him to return to the Church and that a good woman comes into his life to share it with him and for healing between him and my husband!

  35. Thank you, Jesus. The role I got was not the one I was hoping for, but I shall do my best. Thank you for giving my friends such awesome roles. Please help me to see the blessings that are in store from being with this cast. Open me to Your Perfect Will. Thank you for letting me be part of such an awesome theater group. For an END to abortion and the conversion of all who perform abortions, and for the conversion of Leroy Carhart. Bless everyone who has been praying this novena. I wish ya’ll a very Merry Christmas! Thank you, Dear Lord!!

  36. Hello prayer warriors,
    Merry Christmas to all! Thank you for all the prayers we offer for each other in this ministry. I had a mastectomy last December 15 due to breast cancer. It went well and I’m recuperating now in a smoothly manner. God has given me a chance to celebrate His birthday tomorrow with my family. That means so much to me. The Lord had always been good to me. I love you JESUS !

  37. Yes, I thank the Lord for helping my sister and her husband get back together after being apart and the hate between them. Things are really looking good for them. I also am thankful to God for delivering us from evil manipulations in our family. I am hopeful that this Christmas is going to bring love, peace, humility and family reunion in our homes. May the name of God be adored forever, Amen. I thank God for everything.

  38. Lord thank you for this Prayers i had a cancer but after this Novena i felt better and my CA125 blood result is almost cleared.Thank you Lord Jesus i am still on going for ct scan on 29 hopefully good news the result and my 4th chemo on January 13th.I am contrnue for praying .Thank you Lord

  39. This I have come to believe…
    The reason the world does not want Christians saying “Merry Christmas” is because every time we proclaim Our Lord’s birth He Blesses those we bless and in return we too are blessed…
    I believe this because it is an answer to my question I asked of Our Lord in prayer…
    Say these special words aloud or silently with blessing and petition for God’s Peace, Love and Joy for those you love and pray for…
    MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

  40. Thank you for your prayers…..My husband was not on talking terms with me for many days but now has started speaking to me….I only pray that the love and faith between us remains strong forever…

  41. God has blessed my family with so much love. Last Christmas we adopted a little girl from a difficult situation in Ukraine and its has been a year this holiday season that we were making the long trip to meet our little girl. This past year has proven what an amazing life I am so grateful for. My husband and I are so happy to have been able to help this little girl have a family. We now pray for all the children still waiting for their forever family.

    xoxoxoxo Merry Christmas!

  42. Good things have been happening for me. My daughter got approved and got a new car after coming off a bad divorce. I won some money at the casino – which is not important, but unusual for me. I continue to pray for my daughter to get a new/better job and have a better life in the future. I am so blessed and have only the Lord God to thank for this.

  43. My daughter-law (52 yrs.) had a stroke on 12/16, was in ICU in induced coma and on ventilator for 2 1/2 days. Had blood clot on in brain and on heart valve. Is home now recovering and only has some difficulty finding words. No weakness or deficits with movement. Please keep her and rest of family in your prayers!

  44. I can’t believe my prayer has finally been answered!!!!! After three years of praying that my son’s best friend would talk to him again after something stupid I said to him that upset him, I came home from work on Day 8 of this novena and this kids car was in my driveway. Him and my son are friends again!!! Thank you!!! God is good all the time. Merry Christmas!

  48. My husband had brain surgery and a light stroke in August. 2015. He has not been able to walk and has had a lot of issues from the surgery. Through this and previous novenas, he has been able to stand with assistance when transferring him from his wheelchair to his bed or the recliner. With continued prayers and additional therapy, I believe he will be able to walk with a walker and then by himself! Praise be to God!

  49. Our prayers have certainly been answered. Our daughter-in-laws cancer numbers have come way down and we are all so thankful. Prayers really do work. We just have to believe and have faith!

  50. Thank You dear Lord and all the saints in heaven for answering my novena prayer. God is powerful and his saints are unstoppable at helping us with our problems.

  51. Thank you for your prayers on my behalf. 9 days ago I was at rock bottom. I was increasingly becoming addicted to alcohol and my wife informed me she was leaving after Christmas. Today, there appears to be a ray of hope. I have not had an urge to drink and my wife may defer leaving while we pursue marriage counseling to see if our marriage can be repaired. Please continue to pray for me as I will for you. Christmas Blessings to all.

  52. God has blessed and answered my prayers for the healing of my sister in laws heart and my mothers restored health. They will both be with me to celebrate the Birthday of my lord Jesus Christ! Thank you all who prayed this Novena and my prayers are with you for your intentions!

  54. Father I ask for you clear and precise guidance for my son Brandon for his future endeavors. help him to prosper Lord in everything he does. Help him to make the best choices for his life going forward. Help him to seek the full possible consequences before his actions. our youth are filled with actions and not seeking the consequences that could arise beforehand. I pray for your angels to be encamped about him. that he may not perish at the hand of the enemy. I pray for my entire family and friends families as they go through the holidays and into the new year. in the name of your son Jesus. amen.

  55. I have not had an answer to my prayers for my children and reconciliation. I believe that God is working on the situation and knows best. Please continue to pray especially for safety of my grandchildren and their mother. I will pray for all those who have prayed this novena and your ministry.

  56. After praying day 9 this morning I got the phone call Mom who was in a nursing home passed into eternal life as it says “we pray that You will bring us to Life Eternal with you this Christmas”!

  57. My cousin who wanted nothing to do with me due to a miscommunication, reconciled with me. No discussion, just a family funeral brought us together again.
    Thanks be to God!

  58. Very dysfunctional family, but the priest at the pulpit says we are all dysfunctional.
    But I am thanking God, as we are instructed and because HE is keeping our family together even with those living at a distance. It’s totally amazing because I cannot do, only He can and I can only try to hopefully hear clearly my part and respond with unconditional love and mercy and leave judgement up to God. That’s what He says in His holy Words in Scripture. I am totally at His Mercy because I most definitely cannot control my husband’s life, mine, and all my children and all those in their lives. I am thanking God for all that He accomplished and accomplishing now in the present and all in the future that He will accomplish. Like the tapestry, beautiful on the finished upside of it and snarls and knots on the underside-He is weaving it all together. “All things work together for the good for those who love the Lord.” I think that’s Romans 8:28.
    Thank you Blessed Mother and all the Saints and angels for all the intercession you have done, in the Holy Name of Jesus. I am praying all this for all on the prayer list here also.
    A Blessed and holy Christmas to all.

  59. I thank God for the Christian Hope that he has given to me through praying this novena. Whether my intentions have been answered as I requested is not important; I know that God the Father, Jesus, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit will answer my prayers and give me the grace I need to address the issues within the intentions. I love you Jesus. Happy Birthday.

  60. My daughter is coming home after being away for a year and a half. I have been praying for her to get back on God’s path and I believe this is the first step. Thank you Jesus and Your Blessed Mother!

  61. I would like to wish everyone @ Saint Martin De pores happy holidays and may God continue to bless us all Amen and happy New Year

  62. I have been praying many Novenas for many intentions but mostly for the Conversion of my Son. We were estranged and he called us. We will be seeing him with his wife tomorrow. He is in counseling and on some medication. Thank you my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and all who prayed this Novena for all of our intentions. God’s blessings for all.

  63. I have been saying this Novena for my niece’s daughter. I got this email from her, just 2 days ago. “We got our Christmas miracle. Jenny went into the hospital on Monday with an infection in the tube that goes into her heart. Between the Denver specialists and the doctors at MCR they decided to take the tube out and will get her on oral meds as soon as possible. The miracle part is that the tests on her heart and lungs are much improved which surprised and delighted all of the doctors.
    She still has cardio pulmonary disease which she will have forever but has improved and is doing so much better.
    Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. I know that is what worked.
    Love Linda”

    Thank you all and Merry Christmas.

  64. I dont beleive in Abortion, if there is danger to a mother and the drs. encourage to abort I am sure God will forgive the ones that have to. Even the Pope is not against.

  65. My wife and I have made up and my wife back is not a serious as they thought. Our prayers were answered but please continue to pray we sell our home in the northeast quickly for a fair price.

  66. A happy and Holy Christmas to all of us. Our Lord is awesome and indeed answers all our prayers in his time. And we give thanks all the time. I want to share that one of my special requests was granted already and I give thanks and praise to our God. He never fails us and his love and mercy are unending. I love you Lord and thank you for all your blessings day in, day out, for all that you do for us each day. Amen.

  67. I prayed continuously and asked others to pray for Dennis and his Mom, Marie, to reconcile.
    Last week, he and she approached each other simultaneously and joined in an embrace.
    No words were necessary!
    It was a joyous event!
    Thank you for praying with me.

  68. I thank God, incarnate in Jesus, that, after praying for so long, God in His merciful love has given me the answer to my dilemma about what was radically wrong with me. I though that, I was the worst person alive. Now, this Christmas, after I prayed to Jesus to be born in me, He’s given me His ‘Light’ to understand that, I am not the worst person alive and that all the pain in my life was never my fault – but God, who is Just, and who gave each of us our freedom; allowed the perpetrator of my suffering to do as the person pleased – even though God does not condone it!

    One person’s freedom is another person’s slavery! Such is our responsibility for one another.

    How Great is our God and how Great is His name.

  69. Prayers for my children and their families. Prayers for my marriage. Prayers for me that I can grow sttronger in my faith. Prayers for our church, priest and deacons. Prayers for all unbelievers. Amen

  70. Every novena, I pray for the conversion of my family, and especially for my children to return to the faith they have abandoned. Two days ago, my daughter, who was unable to join us for Christmas due to illness, called. I asked her to attend Mass this Christmas and she told me she has been going to Mass recently! What a wonderful gift! Thank you, Lord Jesus! I will continue my prayers for everyone’s conversion of heart. I love you, Lord Jesus!

  71. I have been praying for a long time that the strained relationship between my daughter-in-law and us would be healing and we would be able to have a wonderful Christmas when they visited with the grandkids. They just spend a few days with us before Christmas and we had a wonderful, joyful and blessed visit with everyone. My daughter-in-law acted like her old self and interacted in love with us as she did years ago. Thank you Sweet Savior for your Christmas blessing.

  72. Praise be unto the Lord Jesus Christ for all His goodness towards me and family.my daughter has given birth to a bouncing baby girl this week Tuesday. The devil has been tried to complicating the issues but the God Almighty who is Alpha and Omega has pulled down their powers into nothingness. The mother and baby were all doing good. I give all the glory, honor, adoration and powers unto the Lord and I should be keep on celebrating Him forever through Christ our Lord Amen.

  73. Thanksgiving for Salvation.

    For the homeless and less fortunate.

    For family healing and restoration.

    For physical healing.
