You who give me the divine gift to forgive and to forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things and to confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you, even and in spite of all material illusion I wish to be with you in eternal Glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine.โ€ The person must say this prayer for 3 consecutive days. After 8 days the favor requested will be granted even if it may appear difficult.

  3. Oh dearest Infant Jesus,
    As You come to bring salvation to us at Christmas, so too we pray for souls most needing Your salvation in this time. We pray also for unborn babies to be saved in Your Holy Name.
    Thank You for granting my request for health. That issues that could be otherwise serious may be ok. I trust Your Mercy will see me through the completion of this health journey. I have no doubt You have worked a miracle in my physical being during this novena, and that You will continue to be my Healer until I am given a clean slate of health.
    I love and thank You Father for Your greatness in my life despite my undeserving actions. You have always been in my corner. Thank you Father.
    How great Thou Art.

All Glory to You Jesus!!!

  14. I had been praying for Godโ€™s timing on my next pregnancy because I wanted another baby but was really scared because I am considered higher risk. We were expecting to wait another 3-6 months but found out on day 8 of the novena that we are expecting another baby. Im so thankful for our faith guiding us to always be open to life. Im still scared but also very happy and excited, trying to trust God thank Him for His graces.

  15. I have been praying for two things in the past few novenas I have prayed on this site. I prayed for my husband to have a successful heart surgery. He is now in recovery and doing well. Secondly, we have a 4 month old grandson that needs heart surgery and was suppose to have it in January. On his last echo cardio gram, results showed that one of the two holes in his heart closed on its own. In our opinion, this is miraculous. He now can wait months or even up to two years to fix the other hole in his heart. We are praying for another miracle for that one to also heal on its own.

On 12/20, he had a series of MRIs to look for lesions on his brain and deterioration of the neural pathway around his spine, which would make his diagnosis 100% certain. He received the results of those MRIs today. No lesions on his brain and no deterioration around his spine. Diagnosis- NO MS! Thank you Heavenly Father for this miraculous healing that was asked and answered during the Christmas novena.

  34. This novena I prayed for lasting peace and the end of war in Israel & Giza; Ukraine & Russia; and that the truth be shown to all the world about the truth among our American leaders. Our country is split with two opposing “truths” – I pray that all our eyes, minds and hearts be open to the truth, including my own.

    Yesterday it was announced that Putin is open to cease fire talk about the war in Ukraine.

    The UN and other world leaders are urging Israel to end the horrible violence it has unleashed and seek a lasting solution with the Palestinians.

    New information on various investigations of politicians and their families is coming out. Court cases will bring out more. I pray they do, sooner rather than later.

    God is good. Blessings to all on this Christmas Day.

I am thankful to you for the courage and the strength you gave me,, and for allowing me to walk without pain. Glory to you my God the most high.

  36. I am so grateful that the Lord has answered my prayer in this way.. My son asked for a Bible which I gave him for Christmas. He expressed plans to buy City of God by St. Augustine and welcomed ‘The Seven Storey Mountain’ by Thomas Merton and Dr. Holly Ordway’s ‘Tolkien’s Faith’, as other gifts. He is actively searching for God, even if that’s not what he’d call this process. Thankyou for your prayers!!

  37. Annie and John-Paul,
    We wanted to let you know your novena emails have helped our prayers tremendously. Our children have been estranged for several years.
