Police stopped me, as I was doing 80 in a 70mph area. Asked me if giving me a warning was sufficient! I had been listening to a Christian broadcast at the time.

Both St Anne and St Monica have each answered one important segment of my prayer. I still have one important segment left and I am beseeching St. Monica for her help in getting this mission critical prayer segment answered.
A close friend has a sixteen yr. old granddaughter who has been suffering with Lyme disease for many years. Her mother is a nurse, and has spent thousands trying to find a Dr., and/or anyone who can help. The child hasn’t walked in about three yrs., but has managed some mobility w/a walker. In June, all feeling left both legs. She’s been in/out of three different Boston hospitals. A month ago they heard of a Dr. in NY who charges one thousand dollars up front, and it’s at least a three month wait. Yesterday they got word there was a cancellation, and offered an appointment for tomorrow. They are headed for NY as I write this. Thank you, St. Monica
I have prayed this novena to St. Monica in the hope she can intercede with God to free my son from a very destructive, abusive relationship in which he has been trapped for several years. Last night he called me for help getting a therapist. It’s a start. Praise God! And thank you dear loving Saint Monica!
For nine years my husband has been sick and deteriorating in health. At some point before and during his illness our first son not only broke up with his second wife but with every member of the family barely tolerating me and his sick father. I turned to praying several novenas including one to St Monica. About two years ago our first son returned to the family fold and embraced Christ seriously and we could jointly care for my sick husband, to the glory of God. Mean time my Husband’s health was deteriorating to the point that I began to pray for miracle healing or natural death. Our marriage clocked 50 years on 2nd August 2019. We celebrated the Golden Jubilee Wedding anniversary on 10th August 2019 and my husband died peacefully on 17th August 2019. I thank God through St Monica for these special graces of peace in the family and peacefull repose of my husband.
I have prayed for months that my 24 years old son will find gainful employment. On the 2nd. day of this Novena he surprised me with an announcement that he did indeed find a job he can learn and grow with. The best part is it is serving others. He has been working on this for a while and it is now official.
I know this is God at work.
I thank God that my daughter is almost done with her exams without panicking (which happens to her during exam time) and with Gods favor i believe she will perform well. May God bless us all.
My son is getting closer to the help he needs for his ADHD and school struggles. Thank you St. Monica. Thank you Jesus.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer back in January 2019. I had four sessions of chemo and the tumor shrunk. I had a cardiac arrest on April 11, and a quintuplet bypassed surgery on April 15. The surgery was successful and I was released on May 29. I was finely proceeded to have a double mastectomy on June 3. On June 3, approximately 10:30 pm my surgeon Dr. Kaufman entered my hospital room to ask me “how does it feel to be cancer free, I was in disbelief and he informed me that he had gotten all the cancer. I am blessed. Going through some follow up chemo treatment. Please continue to pray for me. Blessed

I was praying for conversion and salvation of my children and for those not confirmed to be confirmed, and grandchildren to receive sacraments — today my eldest daughter who has not been going to mass agreed to go to RCIA to explore confirmation for herself. It begins in September and she immediately registered after making that decision. Thanks be to God, and to St. Monica for her prayers.
St. Monica’s novena please pray Tom James, Abby, Stephen, Christine, Jenny, Jim, Mary, Dick, Tom, Hannah, Josh, Anne would respond to returning to the Catholic faith very soon . Pray the importance of Catholicism would be revealed to all above and peace to our family is restored rapidly; teach them how to love in Christ. Through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen
I have prayed that my son-in-law would soften his heart to the Catholic faith. He has agreed to go to RCIA this year, but said there are no guarantees that he will join. I keep praying, but this is a giant step!!
I was praying for a particular help. I did receive that help during these days of Novena, though I was late a day to start the Novena.
God bless all. I’m thankful to St. Monica for her intercession.
I was praying and praying for my son to see a Dr. he had a terrible cold and has a traumatic brain injury so he does not recognize his own limitations. On the third day of the Novena my uncle sent me a picture of standing on the Santa Monica pier in Calif near our home town. I have since moved away. I knew St Monica was working with me and later that day my son showed me a pic of him waiting at the dr for his Rx. This is so minor to some but my son has been In A terrible relationship and has lost his sight on the church. I’m praying he goes back to church. I am also praying that my dad turns from sin and turns his eyes to what God wants him to do. Thank you. Also today is my sons 25th birthday so I know she is with me in my prayers. Aug 26

Our God is an awesome God! I was favoured and God’s blessings was showered upon me toward the settlement/payment of my new apartment in a very wonderful way unexpected by me. Thanks be to God for His mercy endureth forever, Amen.
I thank St. Monica for her intercessory prayers and the continued little glimpses that God is working on the hearts of my children and puts people
and places in their lives to help.

Found an assisted living home for my dad. Siblings working together to help mom in dads final days
While I didn’t get a new job I was praying for, I was approved for my son’s student loan. Still praying for an increase in finances to lighten the load of having two jobs and trying to advance my career and be a full time
Mom as well.
During this St. Monica novena God was so generous as to show me little glimpses of hope for several people that I have been praying for for a long time to come home to Jesus and the Catholic Church. Thank you, St. Monica for your powerful intercession!
my so of 50 years old will be confirmed thanks st. monica

My grand daughter is improving in her school work. Getting more confident. Thank you for your prays and intersessions St Monica.
Praise God. My daugther came to church this past. Thank you St. Monica. Please keep praying for my son and daughter in law.
My son has a problem with alcohol and could have had an incident with driving while intoxicated. Through St. Monica’s blessing and grace, it was avoided. I’m hoping it is the intervention he needed.
The good Lord always answers me. It may not be what I asked for but it is always best for me. He does answer many of my prayers. Ibtjank Him for always hearing me and loving me

My son in law has been looking for a job in his field for 4 years and he found a part time position in his field. It is a start and we are so grateful. So many prayers and novenas have been said. Thank you St. Monica
I prayed for my son about college and getting enrolled and accepted into the classes he needs. He did get accepted back into school, he did get his classes (even one that he was 12th on the waitlist!), He did his reading already for his class tonight, and he had dinner with our family two nights in a row. It sounds like no big deal, but it is a really big deal. Thank you Jesus and St. Monica for my son’s progress this week!
My daughter excelled at a job interview and observation for a job she wants very much.
Thank you God for the improvements that KB is making in his life.
My intentions in this novena were good health for my daughter-
Well, the second day I was praying I knew that one of her health exams was good news. So thankful!
Thank you ST. Monica and Jesus for answering my prayer intention for my Son to find a place of his own. Please continue to hear and answer my prayers and intentions in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
i wold like to thank God because of what he has done for my family. we were going through a rough patch with my husband so bad that we couldn’t agree on the apartment to rent but he finally came to his senses and agree to go to a new apartment i found in town. He wanted to be left behind
My son has been suffering with addiction for 8 years now and I have been praying the entire time. I prayed St Monicas Novena last year and this one this year and we have our 1st appt with an Addiction Psychiatrist tomorrow 8-27 on St Monicas feast day which I believe is the answer to my prayers and the beginning of my sons healing.
I started praying the novena for my Son who just had a breakup with his girlfriend of 2 years and has 1 semester left of college.
I feel St. Monica and the Blessed Virgin Mary guided me to email his Advisor at school because he wasn’t registered for his last semester 3 days ago; and school starts today!!
It never dawned on me to do that; I sent a message to him that I was concerned; and he contacted my son. He reported back to me that he’s registered and seems focused and on track to graduate in December.
Thank you St. Monica and Mother Mary for taking my prayers to Our Lord; I will continue to Pray and Honor you; please continue to watch and guide me and my children.
Amen
I’ve am surviving this and allowing myself to work on enjoying a momentous, upcoming occasion without guilt, sorrow and unkindness.
My youngest son went to Mass with me yesterday.
My middle son , a self proclaimed agnostic for 2 years, selected a Benedictine Catholic college and started his freshman year during this novena to St Monica.
My oldest son remains a devout Catholic and has found a church in Little Italy in the Bronx that he really relates to and feels a sense of home there.
St.Monica: My love to you my Dear!!
Now for the biggest one of all:please help my husband to reawaken to his Catholic faith and morals, to return to God, and to seek repentance and forgiveness, and to return to his family. St.Monica please continue to help.

Thank you St Monica, for showing me clearly, that a gentleman who was pursuing a relationship with me, is not who God wants for me, I have since ended the courtship.

We’re closer to our son and daughter. Something to build on.
my daughter in law who has been estranged has allowed us back into her life and given us time with the children. I’m putting for her to go to mass and she at least acknowledged that this is our granddaughters first holy Communion year. Father gave a special blessing to their daughter who is in 2 nd grade. It’s a beginning. Thank you Jesus. Our oldest daughter Elizabeth Ann is now estranged from us and away from the Cath ch with her children Grace, Hope, and Faith. Our sister in law is dividing noir family and wants nothing to do with the Catholic Church. Pray for Nicole, Beth, Brenda.
Thank you St.Monica, my daughter has requested I pray for her to have the strength to go back to mass regularly and make choices that will get her to heaven. I feel this Novena has truly blessed my family and I pray my other daughter will follow along soon.
God Bless everyone who is praying this Novena.
Amen
Always pray to St. Anthony for lost or misplaced items. He always answers our prayers. This time, our passports were lost or misplaced, started asking St Anthony for help, searched the house from top to bottom, the included St. Jude and finally included St. Monica in our prayers. Yesterday, our daughter came over and felt the passports were in the basement so she went and found our passports in a place we had already searched! Thank you St. Anthony, St. Jude and St. Monica.
After 7 years of struggle, despair, homelessness and family loss, God has Gifted me with His Favor in my name coming up for my low income apartment. Years of Prayer and Faith. I am carried by my God who never once left me and carried me and walked with me the entire time.
Just keep believing and doing the right things according to God’s Word and Ways. 🙏🙌🙏
Praise be to God for answered prayers.
I have prayed to the Lord to change the heart of the one I love and I’m beginning to see that change. He speaks to me about things ( personal) happening in his life. We pray together almost every day. And even though we are miles apart, it feels as if we are very near. We are learning and growing together through the grace of God.
Thank you Jesus for answering prayers.
My beautiful daughter was Blessed with a strong and healthy baby boy but is now suffering post partum depression. Please St Monica pray to Jesus and ask Him to heal her mind and heart, to take away her fear and doubt and resentment and fill her with the joy and love that you have for your children. She is so sad and grieves so that she cannot feel this love. please Jesu help my daughter. Thank you St Monica for interceding and thank you Jesus for your gifts of peace and healing.
My sister was a prodigal daughter of sorts. She was broken on many ways, yet loved Jesus and hoped on His Divine Mercy. I have always prayed for her complete healing. Our Lord decided to take her this past Wednesday. I pray that she is not suffering anymore.

My son and his wife have shown a spark of interest in joining the Church and having their boys baptized. May this spark be increased to fire and they follow through. Amen
I prayed for my son whose corporation went bankrupt and whose store that he managed was closed. My prayers were for him to find new employment and to trust in God’s will to lead him in another direction. He currently has been re-hired by the same company that is re-opening one of their stores but also with the promise of another postion down the road with an even better opportunity.
My gratitude to St. Monica for her intercession and the grace of our Lord.
I haven’t talked to my oldest son in several years from a falling out When he was going through a divorce. I called him on day 5.

R and A had an amazing summer together.
So much growth for R, in handling her anxiety.
So far it’s been a good adjustment to a new college – nice roommate, nice dorm, loving the campus, and meeting people.
J got better and seems to be liking new job
P made it to varsity VBall. And seems on top of his requirements.
Thank you for continued blessings.
St. Monica/St. Augustine:
Thank you so much for answering my prayers. Love you, JAH
Increased peace
Last week I was feeling dizzy and light-headed. I was suppose to go to Las Vegas Saturday, so I thought I could take some pills and be OK. St Monica must have been with my thoughts, so I called the doctor instead to get his advice. After looking me over he sent me directly to the hospital. Saturday had a pacemaker put in.
Thanks St. Monica
SAM
I wanted to praise God and thank Saint Monica for bringing my daughter and me closer together! The other night we had our first real communication as mother and daughter for the first time ever. We talked for two hours…may the healing of our relationship continue through your divine help! Thank you, my dear friend and patron Saint. May God bless all those who prayed this novena! Amen.
Prayed for my brother in law who had severe Angioedema.
Prayed for my brother in law who had severe Angioedema and could not breath for a week when lying down. They found the drug that was causing the problem and he is getting better every day now.
I’ve been praying to St Monica to intercede for the healing of my son’s marriage. His wife and children have been living in another country since 2010. Two days ago he told me he was planning to have his children to come over for a visit and I assume with their mother. I believe its a good sign. I will continue to pray
Healing and health of body and mind for Isabelle, Alaina, Luke, Sylvie, Piper, and Sawyer. Physical healing for Jo, Nora, Phyllis, Melissa, Janet, Daniel, Barb, Kathy, Rosemary, Brian, Connie, Greg, and Ken. Thanksgiving for all God has blessed me with.
I had a terrible allergy itch on my face that is healed. Thank you
I had set aside two weeks of vacation to help my daughter with her first child, of course not exactly knowing when the baby would come. At 3:15 PM, 15 minutes left of my final shift before my vacation she called to say her water broke! God is so good!
I prayed that my son and his family would return to church. They were rarely attending mass and their children were not in faith formation. Yesterday I learned that they had registered they children for faith formation beginning in September!
