  1. I’ve prayed for my spouse for many years and for this particular St. Anne novena I was praying for a reunion with the man I love after we parted ways for him to do some soul searching about Catholicism (he’s a practicing protestant). I believe it was day 7 of the novena I received a text from him requesting a time to chat. We met for lunch the next day and he laid out all he’s learned about Catholicism and what he’s comfortable with and can see a vision for us he couldn’t see before. Praise God!

  2. My son is self employed and due to the Corona Virus he lost 70% of his business. It really took a toll on him to the point that he was in a deep state of depression. As a result of our prayers for him, 4 days into the St. Anne Novena he sort some help to get him back on track. On Monday, July 26th, the feast day of Sts. Joachim and Anne, he received several calls from some former and some new clients to join up with him. Please continue to pray with me that he will come back into the church and that he will be blessed with a good wife.

  16. I have said this Novena a couple of times and each time my prayers were answered. The first time my husband had been diagnosed with a very rare kidney disease. I prayed that it would be cured. The disease went away, but did leave lasting damage to the kidney but he does not have to dialysis. The Dr had no explanation for the remission of this disease and he said my Novena was as good an explanation as he had!
    My daughter was in the hospital with “something” that affected all of her muscles and could not walk or barely move and it disappeared also in a few weeks. They have done many many tests on her and could not figure out what she had our how come it went away. That was only a few weeks after I started the Novena. I am a true believer in this Novena, by the way I got this from my Grandmother and my Mother.

  17. We sold our house and the closing went smoothly. From there we are now able to save for our family’s future. Thank you St. Anne. We now need to prayers so I can find a job and help alleviate the debts of my family from past financial mistakes and I pray my children to not make the same mistakes I made. But all the trials as painful as it is I know it grows my faith evermore in Jesus and in his perfect time this too shall past. Much prayers needed.

  18. I didn’t finish praying the novena,but my prayers were answered. I got the permanent position I had applied for. Thank you so much for praying with me.

  19. I prayed for peace, love and unity in my family and for my family to be Holy & Unified in Christ and to St Anne to intercede in the indifferences & in the things that cause the indifferences. And God has granted me so much inner peace. My niece reached out to me to pray for her. God is really bringing the family back together. I managed to also make a successful trip over the weekend that was so elusive and to iniate a project that was so elusive and I trust that St Anne, our BVM, & our Lord Jesus Christ, will carry me through with her intercession until the completion of this project as that was my prayer. Thanks and glory be to God.

  20. Thank you St. Anne My prayers have been answered for continuous flow of money to pay my mortgage and other bills.

  21. I prayed this novena and several others for employment for my son. He know has a job! I am grateful and thankful for all the prayers. Thanks be to God!

  22. Thanks all for your prayers and to St Anne for her intercession. I was praying for career and means of livelihood and right now i have 2 consultancies am working on. I thank God and may this group prosper. I am sure soon in future i will be able to support this ministry

  23. Thank you very much for praying with me, well I am believing God for a husband and a job so I help take care of my nieces and nephews and I am confident that God will answer me.

  24. This novena, I was praying specifically for God’s will to be done regarding my job. The answer was clear. Forever grateful. God also answered another prayer regarding my marriage. YAY GOD!

  25. I’ve been praying for a friend who wanted to quit smoking so I included her in the St Anne Novena and she hasn’t been smoking since about the 5th day of the Novena!! Praise God! She said a couple of times she gave into the urge but the cigarettes tasted horrible and she only took a few drags and put them out! Not many withdrawals either! She’s been smoking since she was about 12 and she’s 34 now. Thank you St Anne for your love and compassion!

  26. I asked St. Anne for a few intentions. The one most urgent was answered. That was for the safety and protection of my two young nieces as their parents go to court regarding their custody situation. That her Grandson, Jesus, would be the ruling voice of authority and ensure they enter into the best care situation. Thank you St. Anne!

  27. Thank you, St. Anne!! My son, who is an alcoholic, came to our house this past weekend for a picnic… and he was sober and stayed sober the whole day. I was stunned! I prayed the St. Anne Novena specifically for my son’s alcoholism.

  28. I had applied for a government job and after praying the Novena I was called on the seventh day of the novena to go and sign a contract. I am happy and I give Glory back to God
    Also the problem of spiritual husband stopped during and after praying the Novena. And All Glory goes back to God

  29. Thank you St. Anne for the answered prayer for a quick sell for my daughters home. She received an offer August 1st and will close August 31.

  30. A very dear friend of mine suffered dizziness and headaches that resulted in a diagnosis of tumors on the optic nerve. Several weeks passed before the team of surgeons could be assembled to complete the removal. She was moved from ICU to a hospital rehab unit when I began the novena to St. Anne. By the time the novena was finished, she was cleared and scheduled to be dismissed from the hospital.

  31. I started praying this novena mainly because my sister’s name was Anne, and I had not prayed it before. As I prayed it, I learned of a friend who was diagnosed with stage 3 and possibly stage 4 colon cancer. She was going in to have a procedure to verify the stage 4 condition, On 7/30 she had her procedure and there was no sign of the cancer nodes. They are still awaiting pathology but things are very hopeful. Thank you St. Anne.

  32. I have been blessed beyond measure. I am so grateful for these prayers and for God’s presence and grace in my life.

  33. Prayed for my son to find the perfect job after graduating from college. A few days into the novena he got his first interview and a few days later received a job offer! Thank you St. Anne!

  34. Still waiting, but please keep praying for my intentions as I will pray for all of you. I loved seeing the answered prayers! Thank you for sharing!

  35. I thank St. Ann and my Lord and Mother Mary because my son is doing better. Also my daughter was told that her cancer was all over her uterus and I started praying the novena and everything changed. She went to M.D. Anderson hospital and she’s having surgery and no chemotherapy or radiation will be given to her. Her surgery will be on 08/06/21 God willing and she was told that she only has one tumor and she’ll be back to normal, thank God, our Mother Mary and St. Ann and all your prayers. May God bless us all and May this virus go away and I pray for all that are sick with the awful virus. Amen

  36. Thank you, St Anne, for praying with us for good outcomes for a much loved teen with a brain tumor. His MRI last week showed no recent growth and a stable situation.

  37. I just realized when I was reading the answered prayer comments today that I had a long time hope and what only seemed like a dream from many years answered. On July 19th, I became a grandmother for the first time to a beautiful, healthy baby boy named Luca. Before I wrote this I went back and looked at the St Anne novena intention for the day he was born and it was for mothers and grandmothers. In all the excitement of the child arriving 3 weeks early, I missed that days prayers. This child and my daughter and son-in-law’s lives are true miracles. Like LOri who posted today about her daughter returning to rehab after many attempts, they both had been addicts for years. They met when my daughter was 6 months into recovery and my son in law was 5 years in recovery. They have been together for over 4 years and got married during the pandemic, then pregnant 6 months later. Two days before my daughter gave birth, she celebrated five years of sobriety. I have to admit that even with as much faith I have, I had my doubts that I would ever see this dream come true. I pray that I can give great hope with this testimony to LOri for her daughter and that if she just keeps doing the next right thing one day at a time, God will walk with her and great things will happen.

  38. I’ve been praying for St. -Anne for me to find a right guy who i can share my life with and that prayer has been answered.I’ve got married last July 3, 2021.the happiest day of my life. Thank u st.Anne

  41. We have been praying that our family would heal from a very traumatic event and that our grandchildren would be able to visit. A visit is scheduled for October. Praying it all happens as we hope.

  42. My son-in-law was in ICU with COVID! We prayed for him to get well enough to come home to his family! He’s home now!! Thanks for the prayers! Please keep praying for him

  43. Prayers for protection from evil and for continued good health & safety for my family, close friends, and me. God if it is meant for me to move forward with the Associate Dean interview and have a job offer at Chamberlain University make it work. Protect Neil when he is at work, protect me when handling issues at work until better opportunities come my way. Guide me with making the best decisions for students and faculty.

  51. St Anne became my patron saint many years ago. My sister was struggling with infertility for more than 7 years. One day a priest came to our church with a relic of St Anne. We were welcomed to touch the relic with our personal request to St Anne. I asked her to intercede to our Lord to make my sister’s wish to become a mother come true if it was his will. Within weeks she became pregnant with twin girls. The twins are now 26 years old! I am totally convinced it was St Anne’s intercession that answered our prayers.
    Thanks be to God.

  52. Dear St.Anne,

God is reaching out through others and I am here to serve as well. God bless everyone and Jesus is our refuge and strength as well as sweet Mother Mary who guides me so gently as a mother. I adore Saint Anne and am blessed because I haven’t preached a novena in a few years. God bless much love faith and hope.

  54. My stepdad had to have his heart shocked to get it in rhythm with pace maker. Everything went well we are so blessed. I continue to pray for my sister who has been unemployed for a few years now. Due to her age she’s had a challenge so all prayers welcome. God is Great May he bless you all🙏

  78. I have been waiting for my son’s immigration papers for over a year. When I saw the St Anne Novena, i started praying so deeply because I was so worried that his case may need involving an immigration lawyer before we could get a good reply. I didn’t want to go that way so I asked St Anne to do a miracle for me so that we get the passport within 1-2 weeks and today 3/8/21 his passport just got delivered to our house. Just a few days before I started to pray, the passport office told me they don’t know when they will decide if he gets the passport! They said it could take years . I was so broken, now I am rejoicing! Thank you Lord for working through St Anne.

  79. A loved one had an MRI showing 2 spots with a 95% chance of cancer. The biopsy was just to confirm the diagnosis. So far one spot is benign and the other was inconclusive and needs another biopsy. Thank you St. Anne.
