  8. I had interview for better job – psycho-educational assistance position. I was very well prepared and it went very well. I did not experience stress during the interview despite that 3 day earlier expectations of the interview caused big stress in me. I do not know if I will receive this job but I am great-full for this experience, hope and for help in my spiritual straggles.

  9. I’ve been praying for my husbands faith for several years. He still goes to Sunday Mass with us but doesn’t really live his faith. Our marriage has been struggling as well. Today at church several people, including a nun, were praying over people after Mass. The sister has the gift of healing. Anyway, my went to get prayed over for his frequent headaches. The sister knows our situation and added prayers for our family. I’m grateful to God and St. Monica for this step forward and as I continue to pray I will look forward to God’s blessings in our lives and marriage.

  10. I thank God for adding another year to my life and my daughter ‘s life,I also thank God for not allowing the ranging storm to destroy my life and also for fighting my battles and taking shame away from me.Blessed be God for his goodness in my life.

  12. My prayers have been for the healing of breast cancer and the next steps of treatment. This past week I saw a new oncologist who was so open, positive and supportive. I had plans fall into place this week for tumor testing in California (I will be staying in St. Monica where my son lives) that is being funded by a grant. The testing is what I had been hoping and praying for as it will help target specific therapy for me with hopefully the least side effects. So grateful for all the prayers.
    I have also been praying through several novenas for the healing and reconciliation of my 43 yr marriage. I have been devastated that he chose to leave during this difficult time with my health. This will take a miracle to heal and I am still praying…he is at least helping me with some of the financial burdens of this. Thank you St Monica for these intercessory prayers and answers that continue to reveal themselves.

  13. I ask you Lord, please reunite my children and grandchildren into my life. I want them too know that I love them all unconditionally. I ask Lord you protect them all, and keep them out of harm’s way. Protect them from all demons and deliver them from temptations. Guide them lord, give them strength to live their life to fullest with you in there hearts.
    Cure them Lord, from the pain that illnesses have brought upon them.
    I ask this through Christ our Lord.
    Amen

  14. Peace be with you all.

  46. my mom was admitted into the hospital Monday she was not able to speak she was not conscious we thought maybe she was having a stroke or the hospital thought maybe meningitis. She 71 years old has MS and diabetes so the complications of all that made diagnosis very hard. They diagnosed her with west Nile which gave her meningoenchepalitis Last night they decided to put in a feeding tube a less invasive one in through the nose just to give her some nutriment since she had not eating for six days to see if that would help. After the sacrament of healing,many prayers from family and friends and going to adoration this morning especially for her and I’ve been praying this novena with her intentions all week, this morning she pulled out the tube in her nose herself sat up is talking and is able to eat. Thank you God for all the tools you give us in our times of need 🙏🏻

When the novena started they were informed there would be an opening in 2-3 weeks. But last Friday they were informed that she could start this Monday.

  54. Hi,

    My son wanted to proceed to Holland for pursuing his further education. However, since I do not have a job in hand my concern were how to pay up the fees. Although my wife was working, I still needed some support from somewhere with regard to the fees.

    After these prayers I happen to check with my Mom whether she had extra funds to pay up for my son’s fees and she readily agree to pay up the fees. Thank you st.Monica for the favour granted to me and also to my Mom for her timely assistance to me. My son has flown to Holland today…I. e. 26 September,2018 which was possible only after my prayers to St. MONICA.

  57. Dear St. Monica,
    I pray for my daughter who has been suffering from anxiety for many years. She has also fallen away from the church and I don’t know she believes in God. She has been looking for a job, but struggles with the thoughts of interviewing. May she find the Lord, peace and healing!

  58. My son has separated from his wife and his beautiful children, has been without a job for months, and has been away from the Church for years. I’ve been praying for him daily for so long but just this week he expressed a desire the go to Confession and he is actually longing for it. A job description popped up on the computer that exactly fits his experience and expertise. He is eagerly applying for it and has a great deal of confidence that he will get this position. The difficulties in the marriage will surely be helped by him getting a good job. I’ll continue my prayers but I want to especially thank St. Monica for the blessings she has already obtained for him. PTL!

  59. Prayers have been that my son would open his heart to Christ. …..to be less
    defensive and more open also to the love of his family.
    He is becoming much more responsive to us….his parents and his wife. He has also recently welcomed a newborn son.
    Prayers continue with gratitude for this new family.

  61. One of my son’s job situations seems to be improving. My other son who I have been praying for is a recovering alcoholic and he is experiencing lack of motivation. I was very worried one night thinking he seemed quite distant and was not doing well. As I came to the part of the novena where I ask to put my needs, worries and anxieties on the mercy and providence of God, as St Monica did, my son called. He seems much better and seems to be handling things well. Both situations with my sons are answers to my prayers! To God is the glory!

  62. Thank you St. Monica for answering my prayers for my sister-in-law woke up from her coma of one week. She is awake, her blood pressure is normal and may be sent to a regular room. On the other request it didn’t happened but it came to an end. It has been resolved the best possible way. Thank you.

  63. I’ve been praying for my son to get a job since he graduated in December. During this novena he has been given a 2nd interview for this Tuesday. I’ve been praying and believing God has a plan for him. St. Monica please offer him strength and wisdom during this next interview.
