I have always had great devotion to
The Blessed Mother and have been a believer since a young child in Catholic school learning about Our Lady of Lourdes. My 2 children have gone to donate time working in both the piscines and the hospital, praying the Rosary and taking a bath for myself and my mom. After saying the Novena, I have been able to bring mom into my home for end of life care, my health is holding, and I believe I’ve been granted a miracle.jr
I have been praying so hard for a job at a university near me so my kids could go to school with reduced tuition. I also wanted a job I enjoyed. I got both. Our Lady of Lourdes, thank you so much for asking God to bestow this favor upon me.
My daughter in law was diagnosed with uterus cancer. We thank Our Blessed Mother for a successful surgery and the cancer had not spread.
Praise the Lord.
I made the novena for several sick friends and relatives. One of them had a very serious blood disease. He had difficult surgery and it was a great success. He is much better and the doctors think he may have a full recovery. I pray for my niece as well, she is a long time sufferer of Lymes disease. I have not heard anything about her condition and ask for your prayers for Heather. She used to be a young vibrant, successful and loved person. She is now a recluse with physical and mental problems all due to long term Lyme. May Our Lady help her. Amen.
Thank you for your novenas, they bring peace and health to those who are sick.

I prayed the novena for my daughter to get into the ABT school in NY, she got in but to another site. Still an answered prayer! Thank you!
The start of the novena was also the day my sister had her ultrasound and I prayed the novena for her while we waited for the result. The last day of the novena was also the day we got the result and we got the good news that everything is okay. Praise God. Thank you Our Lady for your intercession.
I would like to respond to John who responded to answered prayers for the Lady of Lourdes novena. He indicated “My son was suffering from intestinal problems”. I’m glad that he saw improvement. I just wanted to let him know that my son suffered from like problems for over a year and missed a lot of school. What it ended up being was severe lactose intolerance and fructose intolerance.
The normal test for this came back negative so we didn’t think it was that. However, we ended up having a colonoscopy and the doctor decided to take samples which wasn’t a normal thing to do. But from them he was able to see that he actually had these severe intolerances.
I just wanted to share this incase it might help them if he continues to have problems.

I wasn’t able to raise or bend my right knees because there was a hip replacement six years ago. During this novena I asked our lady to help me with my job situation.

Thank you holy Trinity and our Lady of Lourdes.
I asked that a seemingly impossible situation be solved and that God’s peace and understanding would move in. It Did! By the end of the Novena.

We had a miracle! After 6 years of trying to get pregnant, my daughter finally conceived. She is due the end of September. Praise God! Her name is Vanessa.
I prayed for my children during this novena…for their reversion to the faith, and their immersion in it. I have three young adult children who are not practicing, and struggling in different ways. one is still a teen and has been avoiding the sacraments, he went to confession (praise God!) and has been receiving again, yet my children still need prayers! my 3rd has finally gotten a job…which is better than before, and I had a beautiful Valentine’s day brunch with all of them which was very nice. The children’s father is not Catholic/divorced me/is an addict/ and now does not see the children which is actually better for them, except for the one who just got a job…unfortunately, he has moved back in with him for the proximity of getting to the job…please keep him esp. close in prayer as I have been doing for a while now!
Thank you Our Lady of Lourdes and all of you here for continued prayers.
God bless.
My husband and I offered this novena to ask Our Ladys help for a special trip we were making to London for a special occasion. As my husband uses a wheelchair we have an accessible vehicle adapted so he can travel in his wheelchair. We needed to park the car near the theatre but in the capital disabled parking is limited. There were only two spaces so getting one on the night was like asking for gold.
I couldnt believe it when the day went perfectly with no hitches, our hotel was wonderful and on approaching the theatre we found that one of the parking spaces was vacant! This was short of a miracle! We offered a Rosary of thanksgiving once we parked up. The whole occasion is one we will remember forever, all the more special bevause it was blessed by Our blessed Mother. Thankyou dear Mother, and thanks to Jesus.
Myself and 2 sisters have joined in prayer together. Our first prayer was our sister find a new job. During the novena she had an interview. We haven’t heard anything else yet so continue to pray. We have also prayed for my daughter to conceive. She should know within the week whether that miracle occurs so we also continue to pray. Our Blessed Mother is a gift to all of us.
My prayers were heard and answered. I got the grace to make amends with people in my life and many more graces of healing came. Thank you God and Our Lady for having mercy on me.

My husband had been told he had glucoma last Dec. The doctor told him he was extermly close to becoming blind and if he didn’t have surgery soon there would be no turning back. We decided to cancel the surgery appointments and get a second opinion. During this time are insurance changed and we found there would be no coverage for the surgery. On the second day of starting the novena my husband saw the nee doctor and was told he does not have glucoma. Only has a enlarge vein that may cause him problems at times and does not need surgery at this time.
During the Lourdes novena, I prayed for my second son to keep his job.

I prayed the novena purposefully for my daughters healing. 2 days into the Novena her doctor sent her for an urgent CT Scan which showed a mass in her chest wall area. I cried and continued to tell Out Lord that I trust Him but was very sad. She then
Was told they needed an ultrasound to determine the tissue type. 2 minutes into the test the technician abruptly left the room and told us she needed to consult the doctor with this. I knew it was not good news and shouted to the Lord, that I can’t endure this torture anymore and no longer feel strong enuf to pray. Immediately as I said this the technician came back in and said she didn’t need to pursue the test because it appears to be fatty tissue and not serious. My mouth dropped and I now feel God tested my faith in that moment. He knew I was at the breaking point. I know now that no
Matter how hard life gets He is there for us and walking with us the shoe way????.

At the beginning of this novena, I had to have a biopsy on a nodule on my thyroid. The results came in – it is benign! Thank you to Our Lady of Lourdes, our wonderful mother, and her son, Jesus Christ! I continue to pray for all in need.
My husband was seriously ill in intensive care with septiceamia, with his organs gradually shutting down. The doctors were not optimistic on the outcome. We stormed Heaven and our Our Lady of Lourdes with pleas and prayers for Her intercession and at the very last minute my husband started to respond to the treatment being administered. He is now out of the ICU, still in hospital and gradually improving with each passing day. He needs dialysis but has been told it is only temporary. I attribute his recovery so far to a miracle from Heaven. Thank you Jesus & Mama Mary for answereing our prayers. Words can not express our gratitude.
May I please request that those praying the Novena, continue praying for Matt’s complete recovery. Thank you & May God bless you abundantly!
I was struggling in my relationship and I prayed the Our Lady of Lourdes Novena. I realised half way through that I needed some counselling to resolve some issues from my past. I did a little research and found within half an hour a local counsellor who could offer me a session the next day! She was wonderful and helped me to the extent that I now feel calmer and more at peace, and as a result my relationship is back on track.
Thank you, Our Lady; I will continue to pray to you. Thank you also praymorenovenas as I wouldn’t have found out about the novena if it hadn’t been for you.

I had prayed that my family would find a financial way to afford my brothers surgery.His insurance as a dependant of my parents ran out the day of the unfortunate accident. I tqlked to my Dad and he agreed to approach the insurance company last week on monday and on thursday they called and told us that they had decided to pay for the operation.

My husband has been experiencing steady improvement in his treatment for his bone marrow issue.
I asked for healing for a friend’s 1-yr old grandson who had been hospitalized in the ICU since Jan. 30th, intubated and sedated all the while. She reported that her grandson was able to successfully get off the ventilator since Feb. 13th, and they are now trying to wean him off the drugs, but at least they are beginning to have hope of saving him. Thank you, Our Lady of Lourdes for the saving and continued healing of this baby.
Prayers for healing answered.
I am thankful for answered prayer thank u my LORD AND SAVIOUR
My depression has lifted and pain is decreasing. Thank you for all prayers:)
I prayed for healing for my uncle who has been suffering from an incurable brain tumor. It has already come back a second time after destroying it once. However, his MRI this week showed that it is gone–the surgery combined with chemo have worked better than expected! Although the doctors say it will definitely come back again, and more aggressive next time, he has been given extra time and has far exceeded the expectations of the doctors who saw him a few months ago. Thank you, Our Lady of Lourdes!!!!!
I had a lot of prayer requests, one of which was talking to my son about his choices. Fortunately God intervened and my son listened to all I had to say without any arguments. Thank you Mother Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes. Thank you
After trying for many months to find a buyer for our home we got an offer from a lovely family with children that will perfectly fit their needs, and we received the offer On the feast of Our Lady at the end of the novena. This relieves us of so much financial pressure and the answer for the ‘perfect buyer’ who the house would fit with. Thank you dear Blessed Mother for your constant blessings for us and our loved ones.
Thanks to the entire community of believers who have prayed this novena with me and thanks for your intercession, Our Lady of Lourdes. My son and his wife and children have been away from the church for a few years and we have prayed to St. Monica, St. Augustine and Our Lady of Lourdes daily for their intercession for their spiritual healing. On day 9 of this Novena I received a call from my son telling me they want to send their daughter to Catholic school and start going to one particular different Catholic church and didn’t know if they could. In my shock, I told him that you don’t HAVE to go to the church where your child attends school, I didn’t. He said he had a meeting set up with the Priest at the church they want to attend and he will talk to him about when they can Baptize the new baby. God is Good!
Thank God for answering my prayer. I have been called for interviews tomorrow as M& E.
Just got back from my husband’s lung scan and all is clear. Lady of Lourdes was the best medicine. Rejoicing!
My husband and I have been struggling over various issues for years, with his pride (and my resultant anger) being at the root of so much pain for both of us. I offered this novena to our Lady that she would crush his pride, and wow did she come through! He met me on the 11th with a willing heart, ready to put aside self in order to make our marriage work again, and we’ve been able to feel so much more united ever since. Praise Jesus and His holy Mother for such a gracious answer!
I have joined the novena praying group not too long ago. But I believe in prayers and have been praying all my life for my family, my extended family etc. Specifically I have been praying since 2002 for specific needs for my son Vladimir, for good health, his bipolar condition and that the Lord free him from some bad habits, like use of alcohol. He is now on interlock probation for à second dui. In spite of all AA and NA meetings he has attended, he has not made a firm decision to turn his back from alcohol. He thinks he can control his drinking. These past two years I have been asking Mother Mary for her intercession to her son Jesus on behalf of my son. I have tried to release him to my lord so that I do not lose my sanity. After reading all of the answered prayers, I remember my son telling me very recently that he surrendered n want to seriously work the meetings. I made no comments. But I did realize though that he does act a bit serious about his meetings. Three days ago he was talking to me about the 12 steps n I just remember now him saying that he begins to feel Disgusted with alcohol. I frankly do not remember what I said, but right this moment I am saying thank you Mother Mary, Glory Be TO GOD And That God is able.
I apologize for a long sharing.

I am praying for much the same for my son. Happy to hear your son is making a step in the right direction . I will help you pray .. There is strength in numbers
Before praying the novena I was struggling with depression and anxiety from my separation, Now I am not depressed no more and John text me a little bit more and he is more humble than before
I have been praying to get places for my medical placement in England where I come from but my clinical director has been very antagonistic despite my prayers for him but through pray more novenas I have done most placements now. Most importantly I have secured psychiatry placement which is the most difficult one. I will start in March after finishing the one I’m currently doing in urology. I have been saying my rosary daily without missing any since one year now. I’m extremely grateful to our Mother Mary and to our Lord Jesus.
