My husband and I were having problems with our neighbors. My husband was having very strong feelings against them. I asked st. Maria Goretti to bring peace to us and to our neighbors. Our neighbors apologized to my husband and my husband is now at peace with them. Glory be to God!
My son passed away on July 1st and it’s been very painful but God helped me and my family get through this difficult time and St Maria Goretti prayers have helped us. Very consoling. Also helped remedy hard feelings about others. Thanks be to God!
our adult son has been living with us because of a stroke. he is greatly improved and has been working for about 6 months. he hopes to get back on his own soon. thanks be to God and thank you for the Novenas!
I have an incredible story.
Please pray for my daughter Stephanie who is taking a big Exam in Sept to do well. She has worked very hard for her exam, pray she does her best.
I picked up the habit of smoking pot again after almost 30 years. I’ve been smoking 6 months, but my intention was to stop smoking. I stopped for a week and felt great but started up again. Last week I stopped again and my dream job opened up. I applied for it. I know Little Maria is rooting for me. I’m taking a detox and not stressing. I want to promise Jesus I won’t smoke pot again and keep my promise. Keep praying for me, to completely stop and to get my dream job and pass the drug test if there is one. Thank you!
Family is back together!!!
Everyone I prayed for is doing well but most important I have made a mental breakthrough in forgiving my mother. Thank you St. Maria Gorreti, my patron saint.
My daughter did well in her final exams, has arrived home safely and is now enjoying her vacation. Thank you St Maria Goretti for interceding on my behalf. To God be the glory.
We’ve been praying and asking God to intervene in a very difficult and impossible situation of reuniting a family from Africa with us. After three occasions of visa denial and cancellation. The visa was reissued right at the end of the St Maria novena. She took upon her our pain and gave us that joy to smile again.
We are so grateful to her for her wonderful works. Thank you Jesus!!!

I did the Novena to St Maria Goretti which ended on the day I went for a colonoscopy; I also had a Mass said on her Feast Day that morning; all went well and I am fine:
The anesthesiologist came and introduced herself before the procedure and said “Hello, my name is. MARIA” ✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
After 15 months of unemployment, my husband started his new job this past Monday! Praise God!
Thank you, St. Maria Goretti for your intercession! My daughter received her official acceptance into the convent and I received/accepted a new job offer. We are so grateful. Thank you, Father, for these graces!
Would you please pray for Mikey. Mikey had a surgery today. His doctor said he needs another surgery tomorrow. Please keep him and his families and his care takers. His mother and grandmother are very panicking at the moments. Thank you so much in advance for your prayers.
My two daughter-in-laws are finally speaking to each other after seven months, thank be to God.
Thank you St. Maria Goretti! On the last day and the day after the novena I found two wonderful employees that I have long been seeking! Today is the first day that I could actually breath and relax in almost 5 months! Glory to God in the highest!!!
I have been lovingly blessed. I have the most Godly, loving home (bird feeders in the kitchen window even!) as a temporary home until…a home my oldest has purchased…my sister, a breast cancer survivor will live upstairs while I have a beautful 2 bedroom in law! Also, I was in a new job that I had so hoped to be a forever role but it robbed me of such daily joy…God loves everyone but it was such a BOOORRRIIINNGGG JOB. I am not a giver upper but I prayed God may have something better. Since I have a higher paying, also part time role needing me, I asked God to Order My Steps (like the song!). He did…lovingly had a frank conversation. We mutually decided the role just was not the role for me! Gleeful. I am choosing to TRUST Jesus will lead me to something better very quickly…something where I will be of greater use! Amen Amen Amen!
Our 16 yr.old grandson, after much prayer & this novena, attended a youth retreat last weekend & was touched by the Holy Spirit in a very profound way. He can from parents that divorced when he was a baby. He told his Mom when he was 14 that he felt broken. On this retreat he found out it was God that was missing in his life. He thought not having his Dad around all the time was the reason for his emptiness. He said God filled him & restored his brokenness. We are very thankful for this answered prayer!!!!
My favorite aunt has been away from the Church for 60+ years. After many, many prayers and even giving her a Miraculous Medal (which she didn’t immediately start wearing), her heart seemed to remain closed. Finally, I decided to say a novena for her conversion. On the last day of the novena to St. Maria Goretti, I noticed my aunt was wearing the MM and even agreed to attend Mass with us that same Sunday! Praise be Jesus Christ now and forever!!
Thank St. Maria Goretti. My financial problems have been answered. I no longer have any doubts and anxieties about
my money problems.
St. Maria Goretti is amazing!
My aunt had been diagnosed with stage 4 endometrial cancer. She just had scans done this past week as she just finished her first set of chemo. I prayed the St. Maria Goretti novena for her. We are so blessed that her scans just came back and they were CLEAR!!
Thank you St. Maria Goretti!! She’s the namesake of my parish! God is amazing!!
Thanks you St Maria Goretti for prayers answered. My daughter passed her driving test today Thank you for your prayers and intercession.

Asking for prayer for God’s will on Catholic friendships for daughter and if to marry some day a healthy, deep man of prayer who loves the Lord and practices all the teaching of the Catholic Church.
All ask for protection for all emergency personnel!
Thank You and God Bless!
Two of my granddaughters visited me for two days, soon after the Novena to Saint Maria Goretti was completed. What a Saint. Gratitude and sincere love to all whose prayers were answered, and to our Annie and her dear spouse. Ever be the praise we offer to our God.
We have a teen living with us who was abused in her home. We are praying for her to be freed from this home and she desires to Catholic. I had her read about Maria Goretti and do a summary for me. Today her caseworker informed us she will advocate for us to receive permanent custody of this teen. Please keep praying for us !!
Please St Maria Goretti be with both Chris and Michelle to know that they have made the right decision. Give the new Joy in their new path and plan. Please help Chris to know if Sammie might be the one and to ask her out soon. and Please please let Miss Nicole know for sure what school she is to attend this next fall in God’s Name, we pray, be believe and we trust in your plan and we believe in miracles!
I had a wonderful interview today, I have one set up for tomorrow and received a call back from one I had two weeks ago. I feel God is about to bless beyond my wildest imagination. Please keep me in prayer. Thanks be to God! Also, I know God believes in free will, but if he could guide me where I should be it would be so appreciated. My last job was eliminated January 2014, I am so ready for the next door God will open and bless me with.
Praise be to God Almighty….
Eyes have been opened and Our Lord’s Will be done by the gift of the Holy Spirit!
St.Maria Goretti, we pray you continue to intercede for us with the Help of Our Lady in the Name of Jesus!
Thank you Lord for Your gifts of Mercy & The Holy Spirit!
My son wished to attend their “Come and See” this summer with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. He required a passport to travel into Mexico where the future seminarians would be tending to the poorest of the poor, but my son could not get one because he was born at home with a nurse instead of in a hospital (new immigration rule). With much work, more papers & prayers, his passport finally arrived just in time for him to leave.
God the Father and His saints know what they are doing!

My daughter passed her exams and there is promising peace in families. Thnx to the little saint Maria Goretti
That I never have recurrence of any kind of cancer.
Thank you St. Maria Goretti for my answered prayers. My cat Max has taken a turn for the better with new meds & I received the opportunity to tell M, the man I love my feelings…not exactly the L word but was able to tell him it’s more then he thinks he knows.
Thank you! Thanks be to God!
Thank you for all the prayers said for us in our need. Praise Jesus and Mary and all the saints. Our prayers were answered. God is great.
My brother needed a special document which will help in his school application. A good Samaritan gave him more than he needed
My husband’s lab test had to be repeated and a new test done to determine if he might have cancer. The repeat tests came back normal. Out of caution, dr. will repeat tests in a few months rather than having a painful procedure now. Dr. said not to worry.
Praying novenas became part of my own recovery from a painful disorder, as i work to strengthen my faith in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Mother Mary and Saint Joseph.
I lost hearing in my left ear several months ago and as the novena went on, my hearing was slowly restored! The pain in my mouth has also dissipated so I can eat and close my mouth without pain. I am so grateful for Saint Maria Garreti and her intercession.
ST.MARIA GORETTI INTERCEDED IN A COMPLICATED BANK TRANSACTION.
ALMOST BECAME A VICTIM OF FRAUD.
WITH HUMBLE AND GRATEFUL HEART.
I prayed that my husband who was going to have a pet scan would have no new cancer lesions! His results were favorable. The cancer has stayed the same or a little better.
Praise you God and thank you St. Maria Goretti for your intersession!
My oldest son suffers from mental illness and other physical symptoms. During the novena to St. Maria Gorreti his sleeping pattern changed for the better. Now he is able to get up early and has applied for 2 jobs after being unemployed for more than a year. May this dear saint continue to help him get his confidence back and have hope for the future.
Thank you St Maria Goretti for your intercession. We prayed for a successful open heart surgery for my 13 y/o daughter and God heard our pleas. I know we also had the help of our Momma Mary, so what an awesome team. My girl is recovering well and doctors are happy with her newly repaired heart. God bless everyone who prayed this novena and all that prayed for my daughter.
Blessed be God Forever!!!

My husband had success in a real estate deal he was working on
Came through on St Maria Goretti’s Feast Day
I have been praying your novenas for a very long time now. We have 2 estranged children and for 7 years my daughter has NOT spoken to me. Our son lives out of the country and he made it perfectly clear that he wanted nothing to do with us. I never gave up hope because I felt they would be back. But it would be in God’s time – not mine.
Well, last week our daughter came home for the weekend and, for the first time in all these years, she treated me with respect. And she even told me she loved me when we dropped her off at the airport. Our son called this week and we noted a humbleness in him like we had never heard before.
Things are not perfect but the joy I feel in my heart is beyond words. Thank you so much. I believe in miracles because I just had 2.
For years I have been trying to sort out a mortgage for my family home, during the novena St. Maria Goretti got it sorted quicker in one week than in all the years- a miracle!
My sister and her husband have been trying to conceive for almost three years now. I prayed the St Maria Goretti novena which is also her patron saint for their intention and others. A few days after the Novena ended, she called to say she just got a positive pregnancy test. All glory to God!!! Thank you St Maria Goretti.
My daughter lost her vision of her right eye on Good Friday. It was a blood clot that had attached to the retina and her Drs weren’t able to liquify the clot for 2 months after trying different procedures until Thursday July 5 they did surgery and with the intersession of St Maria Goretti on Friday when the eye patch was removed and her vision was back. Thank you for the novena .
Thankyou saint Maria goretti, my sed rate and sugar number came down. Thank you jesus
I prayed for the courage I needed to leave a relationship I have been trying to end for 2 years. On the very last day of the novena I received news that appeared at first to be terrible news, but was really a blessing in disguise. It was what gave me the strength and courage to leave. I 100% believe it was St. Maria Goretti that interceded for me.
I had prayed for my son’s employment. 2 Days into the Novena, an employer that he had interviewed with a month earlier called him up and said he’d like to hire him. He sealed the deal 2 days after the conclusion of the Novena.
I have been praying the different Novenas as they come up on praymorenovenas.com. God did not only grant me success in a very difficult exam, He is also providing a job for me where no one has been employed in over 10years. Unlimited praises to God!
My son needs to pass a vocabulary test to be accepted into his college classes to become an EMT/Firefighter. He struggles some with reading. Please pray for him to pass the test. He has a heart of gold and loves helping people.
My son, who has been unemployed for three months, got a job on the ninth day of the novena. Saint Maria was a favorite saint of my Italian grandmother. She often told me her story in Italian and showed me pictures of her. So thankful!
Please join me praying for my sons to make amends in a loving and respectful, and spiritual way….I pray for my son & his family to find love & respect again so they can remain married….I pray for my daughter to someday find her mostly deserving Prince…. I pray that my husbands cancer stays in remission….Lastly, I pray for the right job that I can handle be blessed to me soon.
Thank you
God is amazing. He leads my life and I no longer live for the “world” I live for him. In Jesus name I pray. AMEN

My first born son, apologize to me today . Blessed be God forever. He took the step of faith today, and we walk to the market side by side together. Glorious miracles he said to me, ” Mom I rather walk back , we don’t need Uber, I can walk by myself , you take Uber”. God in heaven, I wanted to scream in jubilation. God almighty is giving him courage to walk and , be independant. He is headed to Highschool, and is so forgiving . He is learning to be kind rather than be cruel to others. He is showing more patience. Thank you for answering our prayers . God don’t lose faith in him, he is developing. I pray that all our teenagers who was once shy or have low self-esteem to gain confidence in themselves to prosper. It does take time to heal.

I prayed the St, Maria Goretti novena in order to get my retirement pension as soon as possible, which I did. May God bless us all!
I actually meant to post this LAST year (2017). At the start of the novena, i prayed that my husband, who was not Catholic, would make the choice to join the Church. I prayed that by the end of the novena he would ‘pick a date’ for when that would happen. On the Feast of St. Maria Goretti, we were having dinner with a good friend who is a priest, and he told the priest during the dinner that he knew he was finally ready (after 17 years) to pick a date to receive the Sacraments. My husband came into the Church just a month after, on the Feast of St. Edith Stein. So this year when i made the novena again, it was mostly in thanksgiving, and also for another friend who i am praying will come into the Church and finally ‘pick a date’. There were a lot of prayers leading up to my husband’s conversion, but i KNOW the faith God gave me to believe it would finally happen came through praying this novena to this holy and loving child Saint!
I prayed for St. Maria Goretti´s intercession with my cousin who has been in coma for many weeks and before finishing the Novena, she awakened and she’s almost ready to leave the hospital. Praise to God and St. Maria Goretti!!
I have been facing a problem with my neighbor and taken to court injustice but because of the novena I was shown the easiest way to prove my innocent.. Am truly grateful to my God this is all thanks to the innocent Saint Maria Goretti’s Novena.
The surgery for my grandson was finally approved by the insurance company. Have been trying since December
I prayed to have passed my postgraduate interview and I did. I received my admission letter yesterday. Thank you st Maria Gorreti as well as st Expeditus, st Jude , st Anthony and my loving Mother Mary. Amen
Thanks to Saint Maria Goretti. My request for her prayers to pass my driver’s exam was answered….I passed it….
I said this novena to Saint Ann last year. I’ve said many prayers and novenas, but my prayers have never been answered. I’m so heartbroken.
Prayers that my sister, brother & cousin’s cancer would be gone. Reports from all three are good. Thank you St. Maria for your intercession. Praise be to God.
I was struggling with hurt, anger and resentment towards my daughter that betrayed me. I prayed to God to relieve me of these feelings because I could not do it myself. God knew I needed to hear how Maria forgave to help me. The feelings I had are gone and I feel at peace. I believe.
I love praying the Novenas , I feel like my family has been blessed
I got offered a new job with great benefits
Thank you Jesus!!! Novenas are the best
Giving thanks for successful cancer surgery and clear pathology reports on my daughter! God is good!
I prayed to St. Maria that I could endure the excruciating headaches I have been having for 7 months now and still be able to be kind to people in my life (usually I am very irritable) and not only did she answer that prayer but shortly after the novena ended ,God gave me much needed relief from my pain!
Thank you Saint Maria Goretti for my prayers answered on my promotion at work. I finally found peace at work!
My husband received a PSA result that was undetectable for prostate cancer following 10 months of aggressive treatment. Praise God!
I received guidance from the Holy Spirit today & thru the intercession of St. Maria
Goretti continue to reach out to my husband
in a kind loving manner. It’s been difficult but God’s graces continue to make me strong & remember my vows (24 yrs. ago).
I have suffered emotional abuse and rejection from my husband & pray for the healing of his lost soul & at times unhealthy mind. I first encountered Marie Goretti while attending a church in her name near Phoenix Az. When this novena came up
I new she was guiding me, God never abandons us, in His great mercy he is always taking care of his children. May my family continue to grow in love, hope & faith through our Lord Jesus Christ, AMEN! Thank U St. Maria ! “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is the Blessings of what you believe.” St. Augustine ❤️
My Granson had been united with the family. Thank you st Maria Goretti. I pray that her mother sandra will be in the house with him.
Thanks be to God and the intercession of St. Maria Goretti, my stepson got a job after being without one for over 10 months.
My prayers have not been answered yet from this novena however my prayers to St Rita have been answered regularly. Thank you and God Bless all your followers
Although I did not pray for this specifically, I did pray for grace and relief of anxiety. I received the grace to completely and wholeheartedly forgive someone who hurt me over thirty years ago. Praise God!
Thanks and praise be to God. Before I finished the St Maria Goretti novena, I was offered a job. I have also been praying that my daughters be admitted in a decent school near our home and this week I received a confirmation letter that indeed they are confirmed in the school we wanted. Also God showed me my new apartment and enabled me to move and handover the other apartment without any issues. Father I love You and i will eternally be grateful. Amen
Thank you St Maria Goretti. Decision on my son’s car accident case was reversed in his favor even only on the 2nd day of this Novena. You knew the truth and you allowed it to win.
I got a scholarship to study at my dream school! All glory to God!
I prayed during these novenas that through the intercession of the saints that We would overcome all the hurdles put in our way to achieving success in completing a project which would improve the quality of the lives of a vast number of people in our communities . Two days ago all permits were granted and we can now complete it after trying for the last 7years to do so. God is great.
God made a way for me to be admitted into nursing school.Am so grateful.Thanks for all your Novenas.
