This is the longest I have had peaceful days in my entire life so today I want to thank GOD for being merciful and mighty as always.

    Bless you all

  13. My husband & son have been estranged for a very long time. My son has always blamed my husband for never being there in his life. I prayed & cried myself to sleep for 3 years straight. I’m a paraplegic & it’s hurts to see my husband down & negative everyday & every night! Tonight, my prayers were answered… My son called my husband & apologized for the past. He said, “dad I want a relationship with you, so please let’s start over again & forget the past.” That is my answered prayer. Thank you Jesus & Mary. Also, please look up the Divine Mercy Chaplet by sister Faustina . This is the most powerful prayer you can say & miracles happen!!!! Share this Chaplet with everyone! It’s Powerful!!!! Love in Christ, Louise

  19. Our Lord and His Mother showed me the way to alleviate, even temporarily, a difficult situation in the family. I continue to pray for our Lord’s and His Mother’s guidance. Thank you for everything Lord Jesus and Mother Mary!

  20. We received very good news today. My husband was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in June and all my children, 6 girls and a boy started the 9 day Novena with the hope of receiving good news today after 6 Chemo treatments and we found out the 3 tumors have shrunk and the cancer has not advanced.
    We are so grateful and will keep prayer and hoping for even better news the next time.

  21. I see that Jesus helped my family in September in time of the last novena to Our Lady and later. Unfortunately within last years my 3 children and my wife stopped practise Catholic faith almost totally in Canada where we live. I know that I contributed to this by my impatience. It is shame for me because we were actively involved in the church in Poland.
    But on Sep 6 and 8 my older daughter and my wife visited Catholic church to listen special preaching of Dominican father Adam Szustak. Also my older daughter participated on Sep 9 and 16 in meetings of Catholic club for young adults and my wife helped in this despite that they both do not practise the faith. I heard from my wife criticism of the words of people from this Catholic club so it it looks that my older daughter will not participate in this club more but I hope that Jesus will use his wisdom and ingenuity to call her back to the faith. Also my younger daughter who does not like to speak with me about God started to meet leader of Newman Centre at her university and it looks that they will be friends. Please pray more for me and my family. I know that many people prayed for us. Thank you for your prayer. Thank you Jesus for your mercy. Thank you Our Lady for your intercession.

  22. The financial arrangement to make my wish to visit my fragile mother-in-law come true have surprisingly worked out. Thanks for your intercession, dear Mother Mary.

  23. My daughter started attending a Bible study through her college Catholic campus ministry. She had been beginning to drift away from the Church. Thank you, Blessed Mother, for watching over my girl away from home.

  24. Our son is beginning to open his heart to our Lord. He has shared with me he is praying from his heart for the first time in a long time. God is good. Continued prayers for a complete conversion.

  25. Mother Mary’s gift to me came about an hour before the end of her birthday. I was praying for a good online job and this one client reached out to me again and offered me the job. I was sO happy, I cried! Thank you Mother for interceding in my prayers. Thank you Jesus for the answered prayer. To God be all the glory!

    PS – The entire novena was like a miracle unfolding. Blessings poured in not only for me but also for my family as well! And although God removed someone in life, He replaced it with so much more! A true testament of how God is sO faithful! Although I’m still healing, He made sure that His comfort is always there through the Holy Spirit.

  26. I haven’t the words to thank my dear mother Mary and her son Jesus for the many graces and blessings I have received since my conversation.
    I adore and love my Jesus and Mary with all my heart ❣.
    This novena and many novenas are what makes our faith stronger.

  60. My husband continues to drink, certain it is not a problem, and he sees our children’s distance from him as their poor judgment, unrelated to any of his behaviors. He is certain that we are wrong to not accept him “as is.” What has come out of the Novena is this : I do not need to change my husband, only to protect my children from his bad choices and let God do the rest

  61. 14 months ago my 7 year old nephew had a tumor removed from his brain the size of a tomato and yes it was cancer. The doctors thought the got it all. 4 months later they found another tumor on his brain and removed that, they thought they got it all. 4 months ago they found two tumors behind his left eye affecting his vision. As they were preparing to remove the last tumors they decided to take last minute x-rays and MRI’s to see if they could possible save the little guys left eye, low and behold no tumors were found and he was absolutely and totally cancer free. He is doing great!
    Praise the Lord! Mother Mary thank you for your intersession with your son our Lord Jesus Christ!!! Yes God is good! I received the good news on the last day on the Novena!
