  1. My son and sister have been cleared of cancer after 1 year checkups. Yeah! God blessed me with the courage to go to confession after 35 years!!! The priest was overjoyed and I received the mercy and grace I prayed for.

  2. Our dear friend Sharon who had a bone marrow transparent over 2 years ago had a biopsy for some suspicious spots. Biopsy came back negative!!

    God is great.

  3. I have been fervently saying novena’s for a cure to my anxiety. Thank you so much for the novena’s and I will always continue to support you. I found that the novena’s in conjunction with my blind faith is what I needed. Novena’s alone without faith does not help. You need deep surrender in order to get the results you’re looking for. I have found the results I was looking for. I have also now realized Satan will always be sending me negative thoughts and continued prayer is the only way for peace.

  4. Merry Christmas. Thank you for these novenas! I thank God every day for my job, which i now have now. I prayed for this for for a number of years and then through the novenas.

  5. Thanks to ALL who believe in the power of God and prayer. Through the years praying these novenas my prayers have Always been received and answered.
    This period in time I’ve had problems with medicines being changed and causing issues with my heart like: Afib, irregular heart beat and blood presure up and down. I feel much better having placed my prayers in the hands of God. He who can and does the impossible, Amen. Thank You!

  6. My mother thought she was going deaf. I prayed this novena to help her hear again as she was starting to feel isolated. Before the end of the novena an opportunity arose for her to have her ear wax removed and that did the trick…her hearing is great again and she no-longer feels isolated. Thank-you Jesus!

  7. We found the other day that my daughter is going to have a baby, after a year of trying. The joy we felt was indescribable! I figured that the time she conceived was when we were halfway through our St Jude novena. What a miracle the Lord has brought us. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers.

  8. My friend had surgery and was on a ventilator in ICU. They told her daughter she was very sick and might not make it through the night. Slowly but surely she kept getting stronger and now she is in a regular room off the ventilator and all pain medication! She is preparing to soon be moved to a rehab facility for PT and wound care. Praise God she is on the road to recovery! It’s a long road so please keep praying for Debi ❤️

  9. I want to thank the infant Jesus for his divine providence this period. I had serious financial issues but today God blessed me and part of my rent was paid and I know that God will provide the rest. My daughter came out 2nd in her class. Thank you Jesus.

  10. My prayers for peace in my family have been answered. I am responsible for overseeing the caregiving for my parents and my siblings constantly give me grief. Both my parents and their caregiver caught COVID this week, no one including my siblings wanted to step in and help them, and because of this my siblings realized that we need a back-up plan for the immediate future, therefore, my older granddaughter will be living with them in the early year to provide back up support for their caregiving needs. Thank you Jesus. God works in mysteries ways and I am so grateful for God’s Holy Hands in my life. Thank you Jesus thank you. Amen

  11. We have been praying for 4 years for a gene therapy to be available for our grandson who was diagnosed with Krabbe as an infant. An incurable disease. This may be a reality in January 2023. This gene therapy, if a success, will enable him to live a longer and better quality of life than without it. He’s been a miracle ever since his stem cell transplant as an 8 week old baby and we are grateful for every measure of progress he’s made, but if this gene therapy happens, we believe God will have given us the greatest gift of all!

  12. I thank God that during the last novena I was praying for financial assistant to pay my children school fees and He did, I was able to pay about 90% before vacation,
    He is sooo wonderful…
    Glory be His name…

  13. My daughter passed her PAN Exam for her career as a Physician Associate last Friday and is working now as as a PA.

  18. LONG STORY: I started this Novena late on the 3rd day becuase I had forgotten about it, but I saw it in my email and decided to begin late and catch up with the prayers.

    I’ve been going through one of the toughest times of my life- a really bad heartache that has made it hard to eat and to feel any peace or joy in life. I wasnt feeling the Advent Season or Christmas spirit and I wanted to better prepare my heart to welcome Jesus on Christmas day. In my hardest moments I found myself saying “Jesus, I trust in you! Please use this suffering, help me to unite it with your own for the healing of others. Take it and use it…please. I don’t want this to be for nothing.”

    During the Novena I prayed for the intentions of my parents, and siblings for all of their marriages, children, both mental and physical health and for any addictions and trials they may be facing. I always have had a specific and special intention for my Dad to overcome his alcoholism (it’s all I’ve known and has been my deepest prayer for my entire life.) On the 5th day of the Novena I get a call from my Dad telling me that he was leaving to a Alcohol Rehab Facility 500 miles away from my mother for a month, only 4 days before Christmas. The story of how everything played out was so amazing!

    One of my deepest longings and desires has been answered. My Dad has made one of the biggest steps in his life on the path of recovery and healing. I’m so grateful to God and have never been more willing to suffer if it means that it’s being used to help another! If you see this and have read this, I ask that you keep my Dad in your prayers and for the continued healing and unity in his marriage with my Mom. Thank you all. ALL PRAISE AND GLORY BE TO GOD!

    Do not lose hope or faith! God’s timing is perfect and HIS Will be done! Let us persevere like St. Monica as she prayed many many years for the conversion of her son, St.Augustine. God is Good!

  19. My husband and I have been walking infertility for 15 months and my body ovulated perfectly without the use of a trigger shot from both ovaries. Praying that this month is our month to grow our family.

  20. Thank you for praying with me

  22. We have contract for sale of our home at fair and reasonable price with a loving family ready to make it their home. Thank you God

  23. My husband and I went to Long Island for a week to be with our moms and family before Christmas. Dec14-21
    My son and his girlfriend were renting in the same town but moving by driving cross country to Utah then San Fran. They were there when we were there, as we helped them pack the truck up. Clara, my sons gf, is baptized but not Catholic, is lovely and open. After I texted her one eve saying what a wonderful day I enjoyed with them, she texted back, saying “us too❤️. See u tomorrow for mass” And they joined us at Mass. such joy and praise for our Lord! What an answer to prayer for her sweet openness to our Church.
    Thank you Jesus, Mary & Joseph!
    Merry Christmas indeed.🕊✝️🙏

  24. My son got home safely from college through the bad storms. My husband died 10 months ago and we are having peace at the holiday. Thank you, God.

  25. As soon as I started praying this novena, my parents and fiancé made miraculous progress in healing their relationship! Praise our incarnate Lord.

  26. I prayed that my husband would open his heart & convert to the Catholic faith; or even come with me to Mass for the Christmas vigil.
    He is coming tonight. May the infant Jesus enter his heart & bring him home to Him
    Thank you Lord & our blessed Mother & St Joseph for your intercession

  27. I have been praying for a way to treat my husband’s and my heart issues.
