  1. My sister and her daughter hugged and reconciled after harsh words and separation.
    Thank you Jesus, Mary and Joseph

  2. My husband has suffered for many years with depression which has gotten worse over time. I’ve been trying for more than 2 years now to get him to see a psychiatrist again and get some therapy, but he has a really tough time being vulnerable about his personal issues and feelings. However, yesterday after a particularly rough day, he finally agreed, made the call and has an appointment! Praise God!

  3. For so many years I have lived with regret over my alcoholism while raising my children. They are now adults with children of their own and I see what wonderful mothers they are and I wish I had been that mother to them. I was praying about that a couple of nights ago and I hear a voice in my heart that said I did good after all. They are raising their children to love and have faith in God for everything thing in life and it gave me so much comfort to adjust my vision to see the accomplishments rather than my failures.

  4. Praise God, a portion of my request is being answered. Much more to go. I ask for all according to God’s plan and His will. Thanks be to God.

  5. Thank God for answered prayers.
    I prayed for healing from body ache and lactose intolerance and to the Glory of God, I’ve been a lot better!
    Glory to Jesus, Honour to Mary and Joseph.
    Amen!

  6. I have a baby on the way and, with all the changes and planning happening, there has been some tension in my marriage, as well as some distancing with my parents and siblings. This novena came at the PERFECT time, and a lot of good conversations and easing of tension have occurred in the last 9 days that have left me much more at peace.

  7. 25 yr old single pregnant granddaughter asked to go to church with me. She has also stopped using marijuana and vapeing. Broke up with father of child who seems to be involved in drugs . Prayers for continued positive actions from her.

  8. Please Lord according to thy will; please hear my prayers. Lift up my children and heal them-keep them safe from harm and bad ideology-protect their minds.Please heal R.

  9. Dear Blessed Mother

    I thank you that I was able to pay up fully for both my credit cards and close them off recently. You do understand that I have been through a horrific financial crisis over the last 4 years.

    I pray that you will answer my prayer to bring Valentina back to Australia and somehow close off our mortgage too.

    Your loving son
    Brendon

  10. Thank you dear God!
    My prayer for my lab results to come back normal was answered. My prayers to trust in you and to leave everything to you dear God have also been answered. Thank you blessed Mother Mary for praying for me.
    God is great!

  11. I have not so much had my prayers answered, but I guess in a way I have. I usually would deal with frustration and anger with some of my family members. My adult kids are very trying, and also my husband. However these last few weeks , I have had a sense of calmness and love overcome myself. I speak kindly and loving to my adult son and my husband. Believe me they can bring out the inner frustration and sometimes my tone or way of answering is not helpful. But there was a day, that I just felt such maternal love and that feeling was conveyed to both my husband/son/daughter.
    thank you Mother Mary!

  12. Thank you, Blessed Mother Mary, my son is settling into his new job & his learning problems seem not to be affecting his work, and my daughter & her husband’s marriage has been better since praying your novena. Now to get thru my 16 yr old autistic cousin’s operation in 2 weeks. I’m praying daily.
    Happy Heavenly Birthday, Queen of Peace!

  13. I did get a postcard from my grand daughter yesterday. She said she was praying for us and only a month ago she asked me not to send her any prayer memes or request. I was surprised to hear from her since it is the 1st time in over a year she has corresponded with us.
    I pray for her to turn back to God, her faith and her to family. I pray for her mental health and her child and marriage.
    Thank you Mother Mary for at the least giving her the will to pray again.
    I still don’t understand what has happened and ask for your prayers for myself and the rest of the family, to be strong in our faith during this difficult time. We love her and it is so hard to see her go through these dark changes.
    Please bring her back to us!!! Please cast any evil spirits out and please protect her from all evil and illness!! Please I pray with all my heart to give her parents the strength and faith to get through this heartache. They need you intercession now more than ever. 🙏🙏🙏 With great trust I pray! Amen JMJ

  14. My prayers were answered because my
    whole family did show up at our family vacation

    I want to thank God for all his provisions to us and pray for a breakthrough in jobs for both of us.

    In Jesus’ name I have prayed

    Amen

  20. My cousin was in the hospital for almost a month because she needed a special center to help her after her operations, and thanks to the intersession of Mother Mary she is now in a very good center.
    Mother Mary’s intersession has gotten my friend medical help after years of spells the doctors did not think were too serious.

  21. Thank you for your prayers. I was encouraged during my first 5-day visit to the home of one of my sons. Two members of the extended family attended Mass without my knowledge. On learning of this, I was able to give a Children’s pictorial Bible to a “grandmother’ who spoke only Myong. The pictues were helpful and she was grateful. She watched Mass on TV, prior to attending Mass with my son’s significant other. To my surprise, the four children all chose religious symbols from a collection of items I offered them.
    I continue to pray for my son’s willingness and even eagerness to bring his “family” to the RCIA program.

  22. My wife and I are starting to come to resolution on issues in our marriage. My prayers for patience and understanding are taking root. I also prayed for all married people to find happiness.

  24. Our Father has yet again answered the prayers of this sinful and weak man. He provided for both of our daughters who were both struggling financially through no fault of their own. My wife’s medical test results were negative. Praise be to our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

  25. My daughter and her intended man have started seeing each other again. I pray for union for both of them – Amarachi and Alessandro Amen. Pray for them please

  27. On Monday, August 29, my husband received his annulment after praying for it for over a year. We were married by our priest, Father Mike, the next day, August 30, in our chapel on our 32nd wedding anniversary. Both of our prayers have been answered. We are so blessed to be married in the Catholic Church.

  35. I’ve been praying for discernment about becoming a deacon which starts this fall. I was beginning to fall away from it, but last Sunday we went to a mass at our Cathedral instead of home parish. A deacon that I’ve only seen a couple of times over a few years gave the homily. It was so powerful as he spoke of doing God’s will, what we are called to do. To not see Jesus suffering and simply walk by. By the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit we were both there that evening. Praise God! It was definitely a prayer answered!

  36. I have prayed for my sons during the novena as well as the one to St Monica. I prayed for spiritual, physical and mental healing. My oldest son who was in despair after his company went bankrupt and lost his job and wife suddenly received the offer of a lifetime. It came out of the blue and he wasn’t seeking it. My middle son who was diagnosed with a condition which is a pre-cursor to leukemia is seeing his blood counts rising toward normal after weeks of staying the same and losing hope. Thanks to God and to communal prayer. My mothers heart is much lighter today.

  37. Dear God, i thank you so much for this particular moment. You surprised me when i least expected. Please let ir all good well, send your Holy Sprite to do the rest. Mother Maria, thank you for praying for me. I just love You sweet madre mia

  38. Prayers have been positive for my daughter. She is working on being back to Sunday mass and a positive relationship seems to be in her life. Her spiritual journey is showing strong faith, hope and love. My son is doing better. I continue to pray for his anxiety and anger management to continue to be in control with Jesus’ help. Thank you Blessed Mother for your intercessions 🙏❤️.

  39. Thank you, Mother Mary; my marriage is becoming sweeter and more committed during this novena. I pray that it
    will continue. Amen

  40. Thank you for this novena. Dearest Mother Mary Im forever grateful. My children are slowly changing and calling us. I will keep on praying and thanking you. I know someday they will care gor us

  41. One of the intentions I prayed for my husband & myself was for our financial debts. God answered in His way by alleviating some of our financial burdens. For that I’m thankful for. Praise God for small mercies!

  42. Thank you, dearest mother, for listening to my pleas to bring peace into our family. Please watch over us and continue to allow us to have the courage to take steps towards peace. We love you.

  43. Thank you, dear Lord, and Mother Mary for your intercession. Mt family came for a peaceful, fun visit after several years. I know that our lives are in your hands. Thank you for blessings yet to come. Please allow me to see them all return to you!

    2) All 4 unbaptized children in my family have scheduled baptism. Praise God!

To all those who pray this novena I want to share here with you that my daughter is suffering from leukemia and she was very very sick before I start this novena so I start praying this novena from the first day and now she is feeling better I could not be with her but I ask her how she is feeling and she said now she is feeling better than before. I could not afford to take her to a good hospital for check up but i trust and believe in God’s miracles so I keep on praying for her.
