God gave me peace of mind since I started praying the novena.All glory to God.

I have been trying to convince my boyfriend to be open to becoming catholic. Last Sunday he showed up at mass unannounced. I pray for his gradual conversation to the faith and I pray he adopts mother Mary for a mum too.
My adult son turned his life over to God’s Will and attended a powerful healing service with me on Friday night. Thank you Mary for your continued intercessory work in his life. Amen.
My husband and I pray most of the Novenas with you – and prayers are being answered. Our son and his wife are expecting our first grandchild – after having a miscarriage early in a previous pregnancy. Our grandson is due later this year.
Also, many thanks to our Blessed Mother and St. Monica, they have started attending Mass again – in a church of their choice. Making plans for confession and having the baby baptized.
Thank you for the prayers my husband and I have indeed…thanks be to God. I will be lifting up financial issues to the Lord.
Blessed day!
This may be something minor. Please pray for my daughter and grandson. The babies father just posted a photo with another girl on Facebook.
My daughter knew he would do that. I feel badly for my grandson because they were not able to work out their differences for the child’s sake. They chose not to marry and to co.parent. so far that is working for them. My grandson appears grounded and content.
I pray that the relationship between them remain cordial and they continue to co parent peacefully for the sake of the child.
I pray if the Lord has someone destined for her, that she meed him while the child is you and would be more accepting .
I pray that if this is the girl for the babies father that she have love for my grandson.
I need prayers for peace in my family.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary. I trust in you. St. Anthony and St Jude. Pray for and my family.
Change my daughter’s heart. Open my daughter’s heart. Amen
God has been very faithful to me.
I have a daughter seven years old whom I had separated with the dad for 8 years now but during the St Anne Novena I prayed for God’s restoration of our relationship and am here standing in God’s faithfulness.
Today I lift up His name high to exalt his true words the dad to my daughter came back asking for a hand in marriage and he is apologising for every pain he has caused.
For sure God is good and his mercy endures forever.
Amen
I have a happier and holier marrige now thanks to Mom!
Our son Jeffrey who is 28 years old, has distanced him self Jesus. He was suffering from a serious ailment of Physios and is on medication. The medicines led to him putting on a lot of weight and he is around 170 KGs today. The doctor has said his ailment has almost been overcome and he can get on with life with minimum medications.
We have put him in a weight reduction clinic now and he is fast reducing his weight. Please pray for him. He has stopped reading the Bible and praying. We want him to come back to Jesus as we know he will then be completely cured. he is refusing to being counselled and his very adamant and stubborn in his thoughts.
We want him to lead a normal life and follow a fixed routine. God has blessed us with every thing and we can look after him well. We only want him to live a normal life with us and be happy.
His condition has also affected my daughter`s marriage prospects and we want you to pray for a God fearing husband for her who understand what her brother is going through.
Please pray for our family so we are blessed with happiness and peace of mind.
We also want you to pray for the sale of our old flat as we have by God`s blessing purchased a new flat.
Our adult children were having major disagreements, but have now begun a reconciliation with one another. Thank you, Blessed Mother!
We received some positive job and health news while praying the novena. God is great!
I am always praying and I know for sure that God has answered my prayers so many times. I keep on praying all the novenas sent to me
as I believe my whole family and loved ones are healed and protected by God and his special love for us all.
I’ve been praying for the fruit of the womb and I have a great faith that through the intersession of our mother Mary, my intention is going to come through soon.. Amen
I got a job to pursue my career in d field I have always wanted for years now.
I have prayed and prayed for the Lord to send me a man who is good and kind and is strong in our faith. I became engaged last Thursday.
Thank you so much. Praise God!!
Finally got my residence permit to live with my FAMILY! Thank you mother Mary for your intercession
For several years we have been estranged from specific family members. While we have not resolved the problem or even communicated with them in any form yet, one family member has. Maybe it is a start for communication and resolution. I pray and hope it will not just be more anger, yelling, blame, and hurt cast on one another. I wish everyone would apologize and seek understanding instead of the blame and yelling and continual regurgitation of past infractions. This has taken an extreme mental and physical toll on me and my spouse. Please help pray for my family to reconcile and pray for all families who suffer similar estrangements. This cannot be what God wants. Please help us all to see this and to stop harboring hatred and animosity.
My husband attended church with me for the first time in a long time ,I found employment and my husbands results weren’t as bad as we thought they were going to be ,so yes novenas do work ,thank you mother Mary .
Blessed financially, when we needed it most. Found peace, while dealing with a serious diagnosis. Thank you Father, God for answered prayers 🙏
While praying this Novena, my relationship with my Husband which was falling part was made whole again like magic. God indeed answers prayers. Thank you Jesus.
I know is just a material thing but my engagement ring has been lost for 2 years and I found it when I started praying the novenas!!
Thank You Lord!!
I moved to a new state in my country and was finding it difficult to get an apartment. My prayers have been answered I found a perfect one for me.
After my son achieved his Masters in Music, he went to an intensive search for work for two years. I prayed and made devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual help. In April, 2019, my son got a break. He got accepted for a specialist job in a big private company in Canada. I’m deeply thankful and grateful Our Blessed Mother for granting my plea and prayers.
During the family novena, I prayed to God to bless my friends with the fruit of the womb. And today they are expecting a baby. I’m still speechless.
Yes, God is good and prayers works. My son is showing more interest in God, and actually went to cover my adoration spot for me when i was unavailable to go. To God be the glory.
God is good.
I finally got confirmation for my Uni admission and started on Monday.
I pray God be my guard to help me complete the course successfully.
My significant other and I’s relationship greatly improved since praying this novena.
My husband wanted to start praying with me every morning. I’ve been praying for this for years. We now take turns to do a morning offering before we get out of bed. Thank You, Mother Mary for your intercession for this wonderful grace.
I’m still giddy with joy and gratitude about my son and his beloved wife are finally expecting a baby . All the novenas helped !
I was praying for my husbands health to return and for our relationship to return to what it was years ago. He is very close to full recovery now and our relationship is improving every day! Thank you Blessed Mother!!!❤️🙏
After trying to sell my house for months, after the novena my house sold in 24 hours. Thank you Lord.
I was earmarked for retrenchment among other staff members. I was informed just a few days before end of notice period that i am retaining my job. Our mother Mary is truly an intercessor. All glory to God
My granddaughter began communicating with her father after a very painful separation which she had initiated during the summer. Thank you for praying with me for healing!
I received my licenses.
My daughter and son-in-law’s SURPRISE blessing from heaven, Olivia, was born on August 8, at 9:11 pm. In November 2017, my daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer, had surgery in early 2018, and is over the age of 40 – with two older daughters ages 13 and 8 1/2. This being a high-risk pregnancy, my prayers requested an easy pregnancy and delivery, and a healthy baby (mentally and physically). All three prayers were granted.
My husband has been cured of cancer!
My husband went for surgery and it was successful. On that our mother Mary’s birthday, I felt an unspeakable joy in my heart. Thank you mother Mary.
I have been believing God for success in my CGFN application since 2017 because I have been having problems with my date of birth with nursing council in my county of birth. My prayers was answered on the day we completed the last novena
After the novena, I thank God I will soon be a mother
Our Mother blessed us with financial support when we needed it most. Timing could not have been better. It’s miraculous how when we trust in the power of Our Lord and the holy family, with all our heart, things happen. We cannot do it ourselves. How great is our God.
Two years ago my 28 year daughter was diagnosed with cancer , chemotherapy and radiation treatments were administered, since then every follow up tests came back negative, thanks to all who prayed for and with us. To God be the glory.
My son got a job after 9 months of searching, and my daughter-in-law started RCIA and had difficulties in her job resolved favorably.
My son found employment and a new apartment. My prayers were answered.
I had been praying this novena for my sister who was dealing with a lot of financial problems. The Lord graciously came to our aid at the perfect time and helped us in this difficulty. All praise and glory to God.
Our daughter returned home after leaving for 3 months and living with a boyfriend. I prayed to St. Monica the whole time she was gone and continue to do so for her spiritual salvation.
Thank You my Beautiful Blessed Mother for answered prayers….
My grandson & his wife were having problems and we started praying the novena pronto & now they are back together doing great….All for God’s glory!!!!
One of our daughters who has been distancing herself from the Faith has decided to do a retreat at a Benedictine Monastery. I thank God for this answer to prayer!
My prayers for a specific loan amount approval were answered.
My son has been having Child Support Issues. I had been praying especially in tbis last Novena for them to be resolved. I can say now for everyone whose prayed for him, well the payments have been reduced to the minimum until he find a job. God is truly able and having the Blessed Mother Interceding on all of our
behalf’s we can never go wrong.
Thanks to everyone. God Bless.
During this novena my Sister, brother-in-law, 2 nephews and 2 nieces have registered for classes to receive sacraments. My Sister has been away for 20+ years. Thanks be to God and to the intercession of Our Blessed Mother!
My nephew at the age of 26 had a stroke back in June, 2019. After praying the Novena, and many more prayers he was able to take his first step Sept 13. He has a long road ahead of him. Dr’s said he would never walk again. Thank you Mother Mary for your intercession!
Shifts in my marriage . Small but miraculous . Thank you Jesus.
My wife and O are in a better place. The substance abuse has stopped and our family is in a better spot. Thank you everyone.
Please pray for my family, my 23 year old niece was brutally murdered by someone she knew and trusted. We are heartbroken and just cannot understand why this happened. Please pray for all young people, that God will keep them safe.
I have noticed that when my husband’s adolescent-like behavior occurs, that i am managing my own reactions much, much better….i believe God’s angels are holding me assuring me i am ok and that what is happening at this extremely uncomfortable, embarrassing and even painful moment, that all will be well.
This is not the typical testimony with a clear outcome.
I had just started seeing someone in August 2019 and it was not a chaste relationship. The holy spirit impressed upon me to keep it chaste on August 31st. It was really tough and i was not always successful. Anyway part of what i asked the lord and our lady for, was for his will to be done in terms of us being together and for chastity.
We had a huge fight on September 4th and i honestly walked away from the relationship. But by September 7th, we talked about what the issues were and reached a resolution.
The only thing i can say now is we are still in a committed relationship and my partner actually makes effort at staying chaste. We don’t win all the time but i told our lord that i would not give up on the resolution and i am counting on him for help.
my daughter and I was owed a lot of money from a very undependable person and we were paid back by his deadline. We are so totally grateful because it was only by the Grace of God that it happened. Thank You God and His Blessed Mother and ours.
I don’t know if my prayers have been answered yet, but I survived the first job cuts, and seem to still have my job. I hope the rest of the prayer gets answered.
I want to thank everyone for praying the novenas with me. My husband has cancer and he is out of employment. While we are struggling financially, we have been blessed that I have a great job and we are doing ok.
The things we take for granted…house over our heads, food in the refrigerator and bills that get paid are all by the Grace of God.
Brothers and Sisters, please keep my husband in your prayers, that he continues to be strong during his treatments and that he finds his fire to seek employment which will be understanding of his needs.
May God continue to bless you all!
Your sister in Christ,
Kirsten
The love of my life, of 7 years, ended our relationship. We’d been having troubles, hadn’t resolved them, and I did something terrible to him. I prayed this novena faithfully that he would forgive me, and that we would have a chance to try again, work on our relationship with God in it this time. God answered my prayer! Against all odds! We have another chance now! I’m a new catholic, new to novenas. A friend had told me about praying novenas a few months ago. I’m so glad she did!
God and the saints answered an impossible prayer today that I have been praying for over many years now. Trust Gods timing. Thank you God.

Many novena through this site were answered for me recently. Asked for financial help and strengthen my marriage. Both are generously answered. Thank you God.
My son and daughter in law have struggled with difficulties in their young marriage. I prayed this novena specifically for the heart of my daughter in law. About a week after the novena ended she cane to me with a really positive break through in her emotions. AND BOTH she and my son in law decided to join rcia this month!
Such blessings!!
It just occurred to me that this was a fruit of the M&F Novena: My parents went to confession!! I don’t know the last time they went. But they mentioned to me in passing the other day that they had been and I thought I misheard. It has been many years–I don’t know if my mother had ever been since her conversion before I was born. Both of my parents are in their 70s. Such a blessing!
My daughter has texted from college
She has a kind boyfriend
I’m going on a date!
He is a funeral director
My husband passed 3 years ago
All the children are grown thank you Mother Mary
I prayed this novena asking for healing from a broken relationship. I asked for acceptance and peace, but remained very broken-hearted. Just this last week, God has been restoring the relationship in some amazing ways. I am cautious, yet hopeful and continue to ask Him and the Blessed Virgin for restoration and healing. God bless everyone and I’m so thankful for the prayers
My Grovers disease has improved 90%. Also, My grandson is going to classes to enter the church.
God gifted us with wonderful renters, which we rely on to pay our mortgage! We were so worried after it being vacant for two months. God is good!
My friend, who was considering leaving her husband after an infidelity, decided to stay.
I woke up on the 8th September with no more cravings for cigarettes and have not smoked since! I have been trying for so long to stop smoking. Praise God!

My adult son joined his dad and I at Mass!
On Wednesday last week, just after we began praying this Novena, I received an unexpected text message from an old college friend named Adrian. We had not spoken in years but he said I just crossed his mind and so he wanted to check up on me. In our brief conversation, he shared that he and his wife of 14 years have been separated for two years and that he has not seen her or their four children in a long time. I knew I needed to tell him that I became Catholic in 2015 but I didn’t get up the nerve until the end of our conversation. When I told him, I said a mutual college friend of ours had also converted and was pivotal in my conversion. I also shared a link to The Journey Home show where this mutual friend shared his conversion story. Adrian replied with surprise but also sincere curiosity. He said immediately that he is going to check out the video. Well, of course I added him and his wife and children to my intentions for the Novena. Then, tonight, he crossed my mind again so I texted to see how he’s doing. He said it happens to be his and his wife’s 14 anniversary and the anniversary of their separation. He said he has not heard from her in 4 months. But he sent her 14 roses for their anniversary and today she texted him to say “Thank you”! He is overjoyed! I said I have been praying for them and he said, “Just pray that I’m obedient. I believe it’s me the Lord is really after in some way. Until I’m transformed and renewed in my thinking this will continue. So pray for my transformation. Having Sarah and my family is the by product of what He wants to do.” And then he voluntarily said, “I haven’t yet watched that video. I will. Because I am certainly curious & definitely don’t understand this transition of “religion” for lack of better words.” I am so excited and thankful for answered prayers!! I am praying our Blessed Mother will continue to draw him to the Church.
Please pray that our Lord opens and sets T.C.S heart ablaze with love for him. Continue to watch over me during this 2 year journey and guide our relationship.
Please pray for our middle son that he will continue counseling for his depression, thank you for blessing him w/new job, I pray that he will be happy & stick with it, please bless him with a special Christian female friend. Please pray for our oldest son that he too will be happy/successful in his job, thank you for blessing him w/special lady friend, and pray this is faith will increase daily. Please pray for our daughter that this medicine will heal her, that she will be happy/successful in her job. Please pray that her & her fiancé will have a beautiful upcoming wedding. Pray they will find a good home to buy. Please pray for my husband that his health will get better, and that our faith and love will grow daily. Thank you for all that you have blessed us with. We appreciate the graces/prayers you have brought us. Amen.
I wish to appreciate Ann and John Paul and all participants of Our Lady’s Nativity novena. My prayers have been answered for a job for me. I am also hopeful for the children. Glory be to God in the highest and peace to His people of goodwill here on earth.
Praises be to God.
I thank Mother Mary for her intercession, my Daughters peace and stability has returned to my daughter’s marriage.
I am praying for other unstable marriages to be revived and the divorced ones to re-marry in Jesus Great Name.
Thank you all who were praying in this Novena.
God Bless you all
During 9th day of novena I specifically prayed for some personal intentions and those were granted the same day – some personal funds arrived after a week long waiting, problems concerning my birth certificate got resolved, and also got granted some employment certificates for which I was trying for last 10 days.
Hello,
My son Adam, came with me to church for the first time in about 10 years, just yesterday(Our Lady’s birthday)! Thank you Blessed Mother for hearing my prayers.
