  1. Joining this Novena made myself feel at ease from our family problem and challenges we experienced. We really hope this is God’s plan for a bright solution and peaceful settlement ahead. Thank you Mama Mary for your intercession.

  2. I would like to share the love of God in my family, no matter the challenges we faced, he shows us a way to handle things in his will, he help us financially whenever i need him, i will continue to serve him, God Bless everyone in this forum

  3. My husband suffers from depression, insomnia and severe osteoarthritis. He wakes up almost every morning cussing and swearing, and takes out his anger-over his life circumstances-on me. I pray for him constantly, rosaries and novenas. Sometimes my prayers get answered and he gets sleep, which decreases the anger and mornings are better and many times that is not the case . After saying the marriage and family novena with all of you. He has been waking up without the anger , even though he still isn’t getting the sleep he needs and he actually has been very sweet to me. Wow!!! I can’t thank Sweet Mother Mary enough!!!!

  4. As I was reading all the prayers that have been answered, I got a little discouraged. My son has not found employee yet and he’s really depressed. I thought, in God’s time…but still feeling anxious. I later came back to this email and read a little more about the unanswered prayers. It gave me hope and a reminder that I know God will answer my prayers.

  5. A husband and wife had been at the brink of getting a divorce. I prayed the novena for them. Now they are getting along pretty good. Let us continue to for for such families. Thank you our Mother Mary. Love you much

  6. Thank you. Since this novena I’ve met a wonderful man and so far we haven’t been separated for even a day. I’m praying it’s heaven blessed . Thank you Mary

  7. Thank you Mama Mary for answered prayers, I passed my dissertation abd awarded with honours, my daughters passed her 2nd year in Uni and git a high marks and my other daughter had a new job that she prayed for.

  8. I do not always receive the novena everyday, on my email.. I do thank you and the blessed mother, for all the answers to my prayers.

  9. My son Matthew had a medical situation back in April. He was in the hospital for a month. He has a history of addiction. He was changed in this situation. He went from 135 pounds to now about 180 pounds. Our relationship has been strained for many years to put it mildly. Our relationship has dramatically improved. We have prayed for him for years and many of your novena’s. I praise Jesus and Mary for his transformation. And thanks to all who may have prayed for him..
    Sincerely Mick

  10. I have been for a while finding a job with no hope and I have tried sending my resume different places but I dont get even an interview call but after finishing praying the novena of marriage and family I got a call for interview for the job I didnt expect

  11. I’ve got more blessings with my family and my children have finished their holidays safely and they’ve gone back to school.

  12. I did not join in the novena but God has truly been faithful. My oldest son who has been a real source of trials got into university to study aero space engineering. The miracle is beyond me and I promised God I will share this testimony. I have been praying over my son for more than 10 years, it’s been one issue after another. So I encourage those loosing hope to hold on. God bless, Jayne

  13. My husband is committed to attending Mass with me again and our relationship has a renewed sense of peace as well as partnership! Amen

  14. On Sept 15, the Feast of Our Lady which was one week after we completed the Novena I received the News that my daughter in law is pregnant! Thank you Mother Mary!!!

  15. I’m hoping that I’m one of the candidates that they will transfer on Clark. and when I received the email from company. I saw my name there. Thank you Lord you are the best!

  16. My child was diagnosed with cancer and after praying this novena they found out that it’s tuberculosis which is more treatable than cancer. Miracles do really happen. Thank you Lord!

  17. Everyday is a miracle for me.
    My gratitude from the bottom of my heart for Holy Mother’s intercession and grace. Amen.

  18. Our Grand daughter and partner visited with their 4 mo old son, a first visit for us great grand parents. It was a joy and God was working. When they left they met up with her Father who she hadn’t seen in 10 yrs. It was a wonderful reunion of the generations, all four of them. Thank you Mary,

  19. Thank & praise God thru Mama Mary’s help & prayers my friend’s spine operation was successful praying for her quick & complete healing so she can continue her service for our Lord God.

  20. This novena has helped increase my faith and stay on track. I am looking forward to praying more with you all.
    It’s great to know I am not Alone, God bless you

  21. I was facing some business and financial challenge. On the last day of this novena through the intercesaion of our blessed mother mary. God reatored my hope and granted me business and financial favour from my suppliers and a friend. Thank you Our Lord Jesus Christ

  22. Thank you Blessed Mother, our daughter was offered the job of her dreams. Our other daughter received a job she needed as well! Most importantly, thank you for giving me the words they needed to hear during their struggles. Prayer is powerful.

  23. Sometimes God doesn’t answer prayers for His own reasons, because He knows best. I was praying my daughters marriage would hold on and they would stay together.

    However, I found out things her husband wanted that she didn’t agree to. It was not within the churches vision of how a marriage should be. So God didn’t answer my specific prayers for them to stay together. It was right and my daughter is happier with ending the marriage instead of being unhappy with a marriage that didn’t follow the rules of God!

    God is good, all the time!!

  24. My enstranged son who has been very aggressive & won’t want to see me called me & has visited two times & ate from from the family dish. Glory to Jesus honour to Mary. Its an answered prayer to me & the entire family.

  25. My oldest daughter has met me at church the past 3 out of 4 weeks. She has even told me that she realizes her need to return to church. Thank you Blessed Mother, Jesus, and our almighty God!

  26. I prayed the novena for my daughter who has been waitingfor a job offer for months. I finished the novena Sunday and Monday morning she got a call with a job offer. Thank you Mother Mary for your intercession and for watching over me and my family.

  27. My son and I are Domestic Violence survivors who are living in a shelter. Participating in this novena my lawyers settled my workers Comp case, I then followed up on a coop that I was on a waiting list for (over 10yrs)… the novena ended and on 8/28 my 1yr old son and I viewed the coop apartment and signed that I accept it and I had two weeks to come up with the processing fee- I made it happen on 9/10 and I am still nervous about the credit part b/c I added my son dad to my credit card as an authorized user to repair his credit and he went ahead and maxed out that credit credit with cash advance, his bills, his car insurance etc., All while I’m in the shelter with our son to be safe. Thursday 9/12 his dad plead guilty in court to all the misdemeanor charges so the felony charges can drop for our case and an order of protection for 5yrs was issued to myself and son and he still gets the supervised visits with our son (still scary and I’m shocked the lady from CSF never reported he refuses to change diapers each time and all the times he fell and the fact that even her staff witnessed we’ve seen him twice after the visit- I put that in God’s hand) on Friday 9/13 my settlement cleared and came into my account. I’ve been praying and giving glory and I’m just praying and hoping the board approves us to move into the apt viewed as they can see (I emailed the lady in charge yesterday and with an update and showed her proof the money is in my account and I can afford an outright purchase with a year of maintenance fees). I’m just so happy and feel blessed for all the blessings this novena has brought into the lives of my son and myself we are truly happy.

  28. During this novena I prayed for a peaceful passing of my sister, Karen, who was battling brain cancer. I was blessed to be with her when she died and it was so peaceful…just what she and I both were praying for.

  29. My son has been undergoing severe depression and even attempted suicide. Since praying this novena, he has began to be more cheerful and has been sharing some of the difficulties he’s going through with me. It has strengthened my faith and my will to pray for others.

  30. I’ve entered a loving relationship with a wonderful man. May God lead the way, thank you St. Anne for hearing my prayers.

  31. Thank you mother Mary for interceding for us, we got a financial breakthrough and we thank God for opening doors. The insurance company paid us the money.

  32. I just would like to say thank you to the kind gentlemen (angel) that came and gave me a card that read the following:
    GOOD MORNING!
    I WILL BE HANDLING ALL YOUR PROBLEMS TODAY. SO RELAX AND ENJOY THE DAY
    “GOD”
    HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
    YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE,
    LET HEAVEN BE YOUR GOAL.
    MAY THE COMFORT OF GOD’S LOVE FILL YOU WITH HOPE AND PEACE.

  33. A sense of happiness has filled my heart after a long time of having feelings of insecurity lack of self worth and low self esteem. I know its because of Mother Mary’s intercession. Thank you Jesus

  34. Got a job after 4 years after saying the novena. My son came to said he’s leaving all evil things he did before.
    I did see big change. Mother Mary please intercede for our family to be Holy family like ours.

  35. My son has started saying the rosary with me and today he got a full time job paying a great salary! Praise the Blessed Mother!

  36. During the Novena and after the Novena I felt a sense of peace all around me.. knowing God is control. My faith and trust increased in Christ. Thank you Mother Mary for your diligent intercession.

  37. Gracias Mamá María. My husband stopped drinking and now we spend more time together. Still hasn’t returned to the church but with God and mother Mary interceding , all things are possible.

  38. I just wanted to share my story, when my son and I felt like we were are our bottom, my prayers never ceased. I have been looking for my emails from this God sent site for years now and the novenas that I pray have been answered in their own way.
    My family has been blessed beyond our means. I can only work daily on my promises made.
    St Pio once said something like “Pray, hope and don’t worry, worrying is useless God is Merciful and will answer your prayers”.
    My brothers and sisters please never lose hope God is always with us and please do not forget to always include JohnPaul and Annie in our prayers.
    Be well and God bless.

  39. My son finally got his dream job +with benefits which he will need now that is wife finally got pregnant. So mother Mary gave him all of that when she knew it would be the right time and in Gods time for him. Praise God.

  40. A mom of a good friend of mine was diagnosed with Dementia about 6 months ago and on her own (through the Blessed Mother). declared that she could not live alone and needs help. This is a big step for her. Also my friends sister started a new job after a long background check. Praise God and our Blessed Mother.

  41. My husband has always wanted me to remain a secular “Sunday” Catholic and would complain if I were to participate in mass more than once a week.

    As the times we’re living in are increasingly evil, the frequent reception of the Blessed Eucharist and Sacrament of Reconciliation have both been a great source of comfort for me. And I would have to sneak to go to mass!

    However, now after the novena, out of the blue, my husband told me that he won’t get in the way of my attending daily masses!!! Praise the Lord! : )

    Now, my next prayer mission is for his own conversion, and for his family to be reconciled.

    Thanks be to the Holy Trinity, Mother Mary, St Joseph, and all our Holy Angels and Saints in Heaven!

  42. Thank you Blessed Mother Mary for your miracle Blessing upon my new job and also in giving me the power of prayer..Amen Sweet Jesus.

  43. I prayed for the success of my brother’s wedding and for success in my exams. The exams was a huge success and I score straight A’s in my semester exams

  44. My son got a very nice job right after I finished saying the novena. He had been unemployed for more than a year and a half. Blessed be God for granting us this miracle as an answer to this novena.

  45. We have been praying for our daughter’s family situation. We saw Mary’s intercession when a Catholic school co-op just opened last week in our area. Our grandsons are now attending the weekly pre-school! The Lord is working in this situation!

  46. My daughter overcame many obstacles and is having her daughter Christened on 29th of September DV. the feast of St Michael. The power of God working through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother. Thank you dear Lord. May God protect them.

  47. I’ve been praying for a job and today I received an email stating I have to attend the interview on the 1st October. I pray the Holy Spirit guides me and I do well and get the job. I thank you Lord in advance for hearing and obtaining my petitions.

  48. My father was diagnosed with Cancer, recent follow ups show all is well! Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Mary, and All the Saints.

  49. My family have been praying God for sometime for our eldest daughter to gain admission into a very good school where her younger siblings are attending. God answered our prayer during the last novena for marriage and family as she was admitted to start in this new school year. We see the unseen hands of God in our lives everyday

  50. Dearest Jesus and Mary, please continue to protect and heal my family and I. The family that prays together, stays together.

    Thank you for keeping my husband, our son and I together as a loving family who attend Mass each week.

    Thank you Jesus and Mary 🙏.

  51. My brother was able to go to sch (university level) and find accommodation… all this was very difficult and was begining to look helpless at first but for the Lord’s help through this intercession. Oo and also the lord has revealed and confirmed my future spouse to me :) praise God. And pls take the intercession of our blessed mother very seriously. I didn’t specifically ask of any of these per say but I took the novena with my heart knowing the lord wanted to do something that’s why he brought me to the novena in the first place!! Trust and believe everyone!

  54. This was an answer to last year’s novena to St. Anne. My nephew and wife had a baby in August, from prayers of novena last year. They were trying for 5 years.
    Thanks be to God for this baby girl.

  55. When I prayed this novena, God blessed me and I was able to conceive my 2nd child. Then also around the same time, the good Lord had my prayers and blessed me with a good job. I give thanks to the Lord for his wonderful deeds.

  56. My father was baptised C of E, my whole life he didn’t believe in God. He died on 24th August 2019. I was praying the St Monica Novena, for Dad, my brothers and my niece. I went to hospital to see Dad on Thursday morning, he was crying with fear as ‘they’ were saying awful things and showing him dreadful images. He also said “I died last night”. I said even if you had died you don’t need to be scared as Jesus would come and hold you in his arms and take you to Heaven. He replied “That’s what you believe.” Then he was crying in pain with his infected foot ulcer, i asked nurse for strong painkillers. He asked for his foot to be chopped off it was so painful.

    5-10 mins after this whole conversation.
    He had a temperature, so I took the sheet and cover off him and his voice changed and he was mesmerized by the foot of the bed. He was transfixed by a face in the sheets. When i asked if he recognised the face he said yes. Man or lady? A lady. Do you recognize her? Oh Yes. Who is it? Mary. Mary Burke(my friends mum). No. Your mary, from up there. He pointed upwards. Mary from Heaven ? Yes your Mary. Jesus’mum? Oh yes. She is sooooo beautiful. Oh look at her eyes…i have never seen anything like her, she is just so beautiful. What colour are her eyes? They aren’t a colour they are grey and greyier. Does she make you feel happy, safe and not scared? Oh yes. Do you love her? Oh yes. Is Jesus with her? I suppose he must be? Do you love Jesus? I suppose i do.

    After a few minutes he went cold so i covered him up. He didn’t have anymore pain. 5 mins later the nurse brought him morphine and he said no , he had no pain and wasn’t scared. He was peaceful and calm until he died on the Sat morning. Praise God! I believe God showed him hell and that was why he was soooo scared and agitated. Then Fod sent Our Blessed Mother to bring him home. Praise God! Thank you Blessed Mother. X

  57. am glad i took my daughter and my son to church and we attended a spiritual talk . though am still battling with their father to be responsible and accept the sacrament of matrimonial.please pray for me also for a good job i have not got it yet. but i believe God will do it for me.in jesus’Name.

  58. My son did confession on Saturday after around 4 months of not attending mass on Sunday; and attended mass on Sunday. I thank God, thank you Mother Mary for your intercessions!

  59. My son found a job after waiting for a year.
    My relationship with my husband is going well.
    Thank you for praying novena with me and thank you Mother Mary for interceding for us.

  60. My husband and I have butted heads over one of his habits for over 20 years. Just before this novena ended, he got help; it finally seems to be working and I feel a sense of peace I have not had for a long time. Thank you Mother Mary.

  61. I pray this Novena that I get blessed in prayers for my health finances for I have become a widow. My husband past away with 4 stage blockage of Cancer. At the moment I find myself with depression, sad, lonely for my beloved husbands death. I pray for peace and solitude for my heart. At the present time I find everything so impossible to except on my husbands passing. It’s unbelievable to me that my beloved husband is no longer with me. We were happily married for 22 yrs. we were together for 29yrs. and I find it very difficult to except he is no longer with me. So here I come before Novena to pray for help to find peace and solitude within myself once again. The turmoil I find within myself facing on my own is very difficult for me at the moment. Now I believe my chances of survival is in prayer with Jesus ! Thank You for your prayers.

  62. First day of Novena, my two sons started talking to each other again, and they seemed to have been reconciled ever since!! Thank you Jesus!! 🙏🏻

  63. Praying this Novena has been a delight to my soul as it is indeed a privilege to talk to JESUS – this novena has enabled a troubled young lady to use a rosary for the first time and continue to pray . I am still steadfast in prayer for my son to return to mother church.
    Thank you for your prayers.
