  1. I thank you my Lord for carrying me in these difficult and trying moments. On days that I felt defeated I read this novena to St Monica and got hope and faith. Thank Jesus my son and I was offered a job on the same day. Thank you for all the blessings we have received and will continue to receive.

  2. My non- practicing Catholic daughter says she wants to go to Sacrament of Reconciliation! Please pray she will have the grace to follow through.
    Thank you God, St Monica, and those who pray & gave me the opportunity of the novena.

  3. I thank you St. Monica for your intercession in my son’s & daughter-in-law’s marriage problems. It is not yet over and I continue to pray that you will soften her heart to come to an agreeable term for the sake of the two young children. Thank you for all other Blessings that we have received.
    Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers and letting us depend on you totally for the things we cannot change. Your our our Saviour, our Healer our Father in heaven and on Earth and through St. Monica are helping us in this very sad and difficult time of our lives. Thank you.

  4. I have been praying for my brother in law, for one of my brother ( he has been away from God a long time ago) and for all the men in my family. Must of them are very hard head and as a Hispanic culture they think that they can treat their wives as a property not as a companion. Please keep my family in yours prayers.
    I have faith that the prayers will be heard and they will be with Jesus again.

  5. Thank You St. Monica for your intercession for all of us on this ministry. Thank You for blessing John Paul & Annie with all their needs and desires of their heart.

    Thank You for clarity, guidance, safety, health and answered prayers during this Novena. On the first day of the Novena, I had an answer to a prayer of many years especially these 7 months that I know on Gods time and will that the complete open door will be opened and I feel today on the Feast Day it will. On the 9 th day of this Novena I had more clarity of my second prayer of many years that I feel today on this Feast day that the complete door will open.

    Thank You for the many gifts and blessings along with the many answered prayers of others especially this ministry, family and those God leads me to pray for whose miracles, blessings, graces, and answers I have seen and heard about and that I’m so filled with joy knowing others have their answers to their prayers! Thank You for stopping this Catergory 5 in HI from destroying more lives and property.. true miracle.. Thank You for the grace to endure and persevere until God opens the doors that are only best. Happy St. Monica Feast Day. Thank You Jesus for all your loving, merciful, compassionate, forgiving & kind ways that we are all to model so we too can be the example to others along with the answer to another ones prayer. Thank You Our Lady of Fatima for wrapping us in your loving arms and giving us what a true loving, kind, compassionate mother with healthy discipline needs! Jesus I Trust in You…

  8. For various reasons for the past several years my college-age son has abandoned his faith, and stopped going to Mass and the sacraments. I have been praying for him constantly, including this Novena. Last week, he texted me, asking which Mass this weekend Fr. Mike was saying, and could we go to Mass together? After Mass he and Fr. Mike spoke privately for about 10 minutes. I don’t know what was discussed, but I thank St. Monica for this huge first step!

  12. I prayed for my sister that she might find some peace and healing from her mistakes she made last year.

    Then, of course I was praying for my family and my boyfriend’s family with each of their phases in their life. Then…on the eighth day, I get engaged to my boyfriend after a little over two years!!!:)))

  48. Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ, and thanks to St Monica for her help! My cousin, Roger, has been very ill since the beginning of July. He went from a very vibrant and active man of 72 (who seemed at least 15 years younger than his age) to being bedridden from unexplained dizziness. He has been hospitalized for 2 and a half weeks now and doctors still have no answers. Yet God did grant a miracle! Midway through this novena to St Monica Roger returned to his Catholic faith after a 45-50 year lapse! He agreed to see a priest, received the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist, and Anointing of the Sick!! He now looks forward to receiving the Eucharist and he seems more positive despite his frustration at the still elusive medical diagnosis. My prayer for him has evolved to asking for God’s graces for him to deepen his renewed faith so that he is able to handle whatever the future holds regarding his treatment and ultimate diagnosis.

  49. I have been praying that my two sons will be able earn enough money to support the children they and their wives hope for. One of them just got a promotion and a raise. The other just found out he’s on a short list for a better job. Thank you St. Monica

  50. I was praying for a life partner and Jesus has given one. I am a divorcée for 8 years and have been in prayer for my family and my love life and am blessed with a life partner who is a catholic. Am praying for God’s blessings on our future. Thanks for the prayers that are so helpful to us.

  51. I’d just like to say a quick prayer to Jesus through St. Monica and Our Lady for my dear sister who is under a great deal of stress and confusion.

    Please, Dear St. Monica, I ask that you enlighten my sister and show her the bare truth about the decision she is choosing to make through her actions. She needs your help, too, Dear Mother; please guide her through the beauty of the reality she is refusing to face and let her know that being a beautiful woman is a gift that was given her by God. What can be more profoundly simple? I ask this through the name of Our Holy Mother and in the name of the Spirit. Amen

    Thank you all and may God and Our Lady bless you. Amen.

  52. Please pray for my grandson who was born prematurely and has a brain bleed. I know God is listening and loves him, but additional prayers never hurt thank you

  53. Thank you Jesus for blessings received especially that my appointment Wednesday well this pay Saturday. I pray that everything continued to go well!!

  54. St Monica please tell Jesus that i don’t focus on the bad things in life, but in the fact that our Paul was taken away from us and we can’t enjoy all the good things God gave us, ask him to take our our material goods and give us back our Paul, our Michael’s healing our Sam’s health, all three came to him when adults in baptism with love , faith and trust, I beg you ask him to restore our family and our lives
    thank you St Monica

  55. My husband was diagnosed with stage four colon and liver cancer almost six months ago. Prognosis was terminal. Tuesday he had his MRI and cat scans. His tumors have shrunk to the point where the doctors are reducing both the chemo treatments and the type of chemo given. I have been saying novenas to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Blessed Mother, St. Jude and every novena offered by your site. Praise be to God, Immaculate Mary, Jesus and all His Saints. We feel truly blessed.

  56. I want express my gratitude to our Lord who through the intersection of St Joseph, granted out son to find a job while I was praying the St Joseph’s novena. Praise , glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🙏🙏

  58.

TJ and Abby to return to the faith of Catholicsm and become closer to me.

  59. Dear St Monica, my prayers lately are heavily focused on my daughter Monica, born on August 27th. I pray for continued healing after the dissolution of her one year marriage. I pray that she is able to find a good job so she can pay her bills on her own. That she stay close to our Lady and Jesus. Thank you St Monica for watching over her for the last 25 years.

  60. Prayers answered from the St. Ann novena: my daughter is engaged to a wonderful man. Although she still needs work in her new city where she can finally be with her fiancé, she has several leads. And thank you St. Ann and St Joseph that her fiancé won the Symphony audition which allowed for all of these wonderful happening. Thank you for your intercession and care for my daughter. Thanks be to God.
    I am certain that Dt Monica is working to purify our church.

  61. My mum had been diagnosed with a heart disease and during the fourth day of this novena, she went for some tests and was told her heart is in perfect condition and the issue which is minor was determined and she is taking her medication. Thank you Saint Monica for interceding for us.

  62. Fr. Larry Richards says that when people ask why their prayers are not answered, he responds with the words of Jesus in Mt 17:21, “But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Though I’ve prayed to St. Monica many times, with this Novena I felt the call to go that extra step and start fasting. It sounds silly, but I am addicted to ice cream. I can eat an entire half-gallon on my own. But after discerning during this Novena, I was given the strength to promise the Lord that I would not have ice cream until my daughter comes back to the Church, even if it takes my whole life. Praying and fasting in this way during the Novena has given me renewed hope and peace that my prayers will be answered during my daughter’s lifetime.

  63. Sweet St.Monica, please intercede for my sister MJ N as she struggles with the new development in her troubled marriage. Please help her find a solution that will protect her and her children. Please pray that her mother in law may come around to understand her situation and reach out to her in compassion.

  64. I had asked for healing from mental health issues for my daughter. She has made tremendous strides towards healing this week. We are not out of the woods yet, but our family is so much closer to being whole and healthy! Thank you St Monica and all who have prayed for healing. Please continue to keep our family and all families with suicidal issues in your prayers.

  65. Saint Monica, my son is in a terrible way. He has no focus or direction in life. He is in physical, mental, and emotional pain and continues to make poor life choices that have great negative consequences. He spoke of ending his life tonight. Please help him. Guide him out if this unending circle of pain, help him make good healthy life choices and find a direction in life. This has been going on for so many years…..I am at a loss as how to help him. I turn to you. You helped me when I prayed for my husband. I now pray for my son, my only child. I am so depressed about this and it us affecting every aspect if my life, my husbands life and my sons. Help his turn his life around.

  66. My husband moved out 2 months ago for the third time leaving our family in a bind. I was unemployed at the time and had been praying for a job where I could still provide and be able to be with my kids. Last week I was called into an interview and was offered a great paying job that will give me the opportunity to provide for my kids and spend time with them!! Our God is an awesome God!!! Trust is what I needed to do and He blessed me more that what I deserve!!! Thank you to all that have been praying this Novena and continued prayers for everyone!!

  67. I’ve been praying that my daughter sells her house. Nothing has been happening. Today we heard someone was interested and was putting in a bid. Its not done yet but we are closer than before.

  68. God Bless everyone I continue to pray to St Monica St Martha St Anthony for my daughter and myself to get the strength and faith after the loss of my first born son at the age of 27 .My daughter is a hard working girl and it’s a very rewarding job caring for elderly people who just adore her money is not everything but she wants to move on to a better paying job so she can set up house with her partner who I pray for that they are both happy and healthy in everything they do .
    My daughter has had an interview and I’m praying with all my heart that she gets accepted for it .
    If it’s to be it will be I’m leaving it in the hands of our Lord and my novena’s.
    I pray for myself to be able to come to terms with the loss of my son I miss him so so much and keep questioning why my son with my son passing at such an early age I live in fear that something will happen to my daughter I pray for strength after the loss of my son I lost both my parents .
    I have turned to praying but for intentions of all people that are sick suffering and for my faith to know that my son is in hevean with my parents and all my loved ones gone before me
    Please anyone who reads my story pray for my daughter to be happy healthy and safe and that she gets the job .

Thank you Jesus for answering my prayers and thank you St. Monica for interceding for me. Glory be to God!

  74. My brother has decided to seek counseling for his drug habits and emotional problems. He is making an appointment tomorrow on the Feast of St. Monica. Praise the Lord!
