  7. I was headed across the country to find a new house before my husband comes home from over sees. Everything listed had been taken. I started the novena with the request to find a good house for our family.
    On the feast day, I signed a lease. Thank you St Monica! Good is so good.

  8. My father, who passed away almost a year ago, held St. Monicaโ€™s feast day close to his heart as after overcoming a serious drug addiction I was later confirmed into the church and chose Saint Monica as my patron saint. I have recently been struggling with alcohol addiction and have been praying very hard for help. I was able to stop drinking during this novena and although has only been three days, that is three days more than I have managed in many years, and Iโ€™m looking forward to continuing on this path to a healthier and happier life. My husband and I, who are currently separated, have also been on a very positive track throughout this novena, and I look forward to the possibility of reconciliation Thank you!

  10. The answered prayer for my son Brian was that he did not have a brain tumor, but two abscesses, That was a blessing but what happens with the brain after surgery is their personality changes. They become angry every easy and the bad language flows more at the beginning. He has not control of what is happening anymore than my brother when he had his brain injury. It would have been harder on me if I had not gone through some of it with my brother. Pray that the grace and total healing for Brian. His right arm and leg have been effected and is going through physical therapy at the rehabilitation floor of the hospital. Keep Brian in your prayers please.

  11. Thank you St. Monica for your intercession. We have received more clarity on where we ought to live and where my husband should work.

  12. Thank you St. Monica for praying for my brother. Heโ€™s not out of the woods yet but at least he doesnโ€™t have cancer. He may need surgery. Help him with his medical expenses and that his boss will be understanding with his hardships. A raise will be so helpful right now.

  13. God answered my prayer by allowing my dad to be cancer free. We had an amazing amount of people praying to God, to Jesus, to our Blessed Mother, and to Saint Peregrine. After he was initially diagnosed, he had several procedures, and the doctors did not see any cancer.
    God is so amazing!!!

  14. Thanks be to GOD……our youngest adult son and his girlfriend have each entered in-house treatment programs for substance abuse. We pray that they will turn their lives to GOD and to all good endeavors from this day forward!

  15. My intention and petition through the intercession of St. Monica Novena was to get Confirmed on my new job. Miraculously on the ninth day I received an increment after a period of almost one year waiting patiently with hope. I’ve been having a lot of demands and trials in this month of August but I’m grateful to God that He has answered my requests through St. Monica.

    I appreciate everyone who participated in this Novena. May God bless you all your requests to be answered through St. Monica. Amen

  20. Thank you St. Monica for answered prayers in the past and during this present novena. You joined my prayers to yours and brought them to the Lord and He answered. One of my daughters went to confession and is now attending daily Mass! Please continue to pray for all my daughters and healing in my family. Thanks be to God! Amen.

  21. I am praying desperately that my daughter is healed physically and mentally and that she can find peace through her grief, calm in her nerves, humility in and gratitude at work, and love for her heart.

  22. One of my special intentions was that my brother, who has been out of work for years and has been living with us for the last ten months, would find a job or some sort of opportunity. On Wednesday he received a call about a chance to go back to school in Montana, the place he truly calls home. He took that chance, packed up all his belongings, rented a Uhaul and set off for Montana. He arrived last night and is starting class today!

    Thank you St. Monica for interceding for me with our Lord and thanks be to God for answering this prayer!

  23. It was during this novena that my son ended a two year relationship with a staunch atheist. He had tried over the years to initiate conversations about God but she was closed to it. Iโ€™m praying the Holy Spirit has used my son to plant a seed of faith in her for the future. Thank you St Monica for your intercession in protecting my young sonโ€™s faith!

  24. My husband committed to taking better care of himself. I have prayed for this and this past Sunday he told me he would.
    Thank you!

  25. For my son Austin, that he will overcome crippling anxiety and depression and begin to lead a full and happy life, using his many God-given talents to do good works. Please, send him his own Ambrose to help him in his brokenness. Thank you, St. Monica, for your intercession. God bless all who have had prayers answered and grant those of us who continue to wait the patience to persevere. Amen๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

  26. Please pray that my son Anthony will make the right decision on which college to go back to. He is very confused, sad and troubled by this. May the Holy Spirit lead and guide him in the right direction. Thy will be done. In Jesusโ€™ name. Amen.

  27. Found out my spinal stenosis is very mild which is good news hopefully no surgery but still in pain. I will have 2 more epidurals and hopefully it will ease the pain. Also I have hip pain so someday soon will probably need hip replacement in hopes this will let me increase my activities in the future. Thank you St Monica and I do need more prayer.

  28. UNBELIEVABLE BUT IT IS REAL
    My Sister Denise was practically in a coma last Monday.

Please God open their hearts to the fact that The things I insist on are for their eternal glory.

  32. Hello everyone,

    My name is John. Iโ€™m a recovering cancer patient. My first miracle from God came 3.5 years ago when He saved me from cancer.
    3 months ago I was diagnosed with stage 3 Kidney Disease. I was told they would never go back to normal but could try to keep them from getting worse. Last week I started praying this Novena to St Monica. On Thu I went for a routine blood test and my kidneys were fully restored to normal. My doctor repeated the blood test today on Monday as he doesnโ€™t believe in one result. Well once again today they were completely normal and functioning. I thank God, St Monica and everyone in this group for praying with me. I hope you all receive a miracle as well. God is truly great! Amen.

  33. I prayed to God in one of our novena to get me money for the passport and a job God gave them all to me though the way the passport money came I dnt realise it that it’s God who had answered my request I used the money for other things ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜”later I realised that money might have been for the passport because of the way it added up but I had made a loss but I know Gods plan was for me to get my request though I haven’t got the passport but I know God is a father he understands his children he will still find away for me
    Thank you Lord .

  34. i asked for my aunts to have a better relationship and on Saturday my mom saw them hugging at my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. I specifically asked my great grandma Simona for this, so i count it as a miracle! 2 more miracles to go!!!

  35. my son’s second results were held up due to some communication in school dispatch section but without any problem he got his results. thank U MOTHER MARY ,LORD JESUS AND ST .MONICA , Thank you for praying for me, Please kindly pray for my son to get a relevant job

  36. St Monica thank you for your intercession my daughter started her new job today. She’s not getting pay the salary she hope for but she’s got her foot in the new company and they promise to give her a new position by December. I pray that all goes well for her and that she continues to trust in God our Father, Jesus our Lord and the Holy Spirit have mercy my sweet Jesus increase our faith amen.

  37. I have been praying for my family’s conversion. Through fervent prayer and trust in Saint Monica’s intercession, and by the grace of God, my mother recognized God’s place in a time of physical suffering for me (physical pain in neck, shoulders, back). She consoled me by saying that God will not give us more than we can handle. These I see as stepping stones towards trusting God, even in times of suffering. Recognize and trust those small moments of faith! Luke 17:6

  39. Dear John-Paul and Annie,
    Thank you for your including us in your prayerful journey. In the recent days, during the Saint Monica Novena, several of us have had an extremely pleasant answer to our prayers. We have collectively sought God’s Mercy through the prayerful intersession of every Novena for person who was asking for the declaration of nullity. The petitioner is a genuinely fine individual who has been through the Right of Catholic Initiation five times in the past six years.
    Finally, the tribunal has tentatively decided in favor of the nullity of the marriage, and the final approval is expected in six weeks. Although the petitioner continues in a kind of holding pattern while the Tribunal awaits an appeal that will never be filed, the final documents are all but in the mail.
    While we often fall short of understanding God’s Mercy, we praise Saint Monica and all the Saints for their prayerful intersession.
    Again, thank you for prayer ministry. We will continue to pray for all those who seek God’s Mercy for their personal cause. God Bless.

  40. Dear St. Monica l thank you for your intercesion. I thank God for prayers answered. My husband has started receiving The Holy communiun which he stopped for over ten years now. My son is try to be a man now. And my daughter have started dating someone l pray it turns out well by God’s grace.Thank God for everything Amen.

  41. Was interceding for my dear agnostic friend who I’ve accompanied the past 2 years in friendship. In our friendship I’ve felt that his heart secretly recognizes the truth of our Catholic faith but that he still has mental and emotional blocks to accepting the Church as the one that Christ himself founded.
    This past week while taking me out for a celebratory dinner he admitted that my friendship and one letter I wrote to him a couple months ago in particular has “softened” his heart more towards God and His Church. Baby steps. Lord–may your will be done. Thank you, St. Monica, for interceding so fervently for my friend.

  42. Praying for my son to have a relationship again with myself and his father. His wife has turned him against us. He has agreed to have lunch with me this week. I feel strongly that Satan is working thru his wife to break our family bond. I Thank you Saint Monica and thank you Lord in Heaven.

  43. I was taught by my late mother that in times of fear to always pray to say a novena to our blessed Holy Mother Mary to ask God to help me. I needed this novena at this time as I have feared an up coming surgery I will need soon. But I also fear for our world today and all who are suffering in so many different ways .During this novena the fear is subsiding. I also came across the novena to St.Anne & added that to my prayers as that was my mom’s name together I feel God’s presence helping me to let go of my fear and trust in God to see not just me but for all who call out in need to see us through the darkness with the light of all His angels & saints as we are all one in the great I Am who hears our every prayer if we call out in our need . He sends his love and answers our prayers through many different ways and trough His son Jesus as well as Mary and all the saints & Angels. I give thanks for all my many answered prayers and I belive thsee novenas have brought me back to trust more and fear less. For this I am humbly grateful and praise God’s glory. Thank you for sending these via the email . May God continue to touch all our lives with unending love and bring us a peace to remind us we are never alone.

  44. My husband has started receiving The Holy communiun. My son is try to be a man now. Thank God for everything Amen.

  45. I had asked that the Right to Life group I belong to have a very productive booth at the N. Olmsted Homecoming this year. The homecoming ended yesterday and the Right to Life booth was the best one since I’ve been involved with these booths over a period of 38 years! You are one great intercessor with Our Lord, St. Monica!!

  46. I prayed that my husbands son and daughter in law would meet with us and begin reconciliation process. His son called tonight and said they would meet with us. Thank you St Monica for answering my request.

  47. Dear St Monica thank you for touching my husband. Not fully answered but mountains are moving in the name of Jesus.

  48. 2 days after this Novena started my son started texting me and has been texting me every day for the duration of the Novena. I prayed for Thomas and he would turn away from his lifestyle and return to church, and for Jamie that he would return to the church he was raised in. I am so thrilled that my son Thomas is back in contact with me on a regular basis. Thank you . ST.Monica for praying for me and Thomas. Thank you God for listening.

  51. I have continued to pray for a childhood friend and yesterday I saw him and he gave me the most amazing news, YES!

  59. Dear St. Monica,
    Thank you for listening to my prayers. My son got a raise which is so wonderful and this past week I had a rough week at work.

  69. On the first day, I shared my prayer request for my children & husband, in their various stages of adulthood & distance from practicing (or even still believing) their faith in God.
    It didn’t seem like my post went through, but I trusted that folks here was still praying for the intentions of everyone who would be participating in this novena to my hero, St. Monica, whether you knew my particulars or not.

    Small steps. By the grace of God and, I believe, St. Monica’s intercession, my youngest told me last night that not only did she in fact go on her own to the first campus mass of the school year at her college, but she even signed an interest list to join a Bible study for this semester! I don’t know how far it will lead, but this can only be a good thing. I am so grateful that my family is in God’s hands, and that He is listening…

    Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, St. Monica! Thank you, St. Augustine (I’ve sought his prayers as well.) Thank you John-Paul, Annie, and my fellow novena pray-ers around the world!
    Please know that I’ve been praying from my heart for everyone’s special intentions, too. God Bless.

  70. I havenโ€™t been feeling that great for the past 3 weeks. I prayed this novena to help me feel better. Day by day I am feeling better. Thank you Jesus for listening to my prayers!

  71. My daughter is pregnant after suffering a miscarriage. Thanks to all for your prayers. Please continue to pray all is well with baby. Thanks again

  72. Praise be to the Lord Brethren,
    What should I say…there are times i feel like, I can’t be heard when i pray๐Ÿ˜’…sometimes I feel so far away from God and at times more devastated than before…
    Well, the patient i was praying for to recover (Rebecca Mwenyango) passed on Tuesday ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ….i honestly can’t describe what i felt…apart from unheard, unanswered, unattended to, speechless, lonely, forsaken…i felt all alone, like God had turned away His ear…๐Ÿ˜ช.
    But, I’ll remain thankful and ask for His fortitude for myself and all the close relatives and friends to Rebecca especially the children and that He may ease the pain and fill the void with love, trust, patience and endurance and welcome Rebecca’s soul in His loving arms.
    Honestly, i skipped days (Tuesday and maybe Thursday)๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพ but still, i can’t say that the strength we are having is by our own doing, but rather All-powerful Father through the intercession of Saint Monica.
    Please Continue to pray for her soul, her children and husband for strength and wisdom…
    God bless you all

  73. Praise be to God for helping my daughter finally meet a suitable man to date. They went on 2 dates over the weekend and he seems to be a great guy, from an intact family and possibly even Catholic! She doesn’t know yet, but said he was wearing a necklace under his shirt so I wonder if it was a crucifix. She has been away from her faith for 10 years, and dated an atheist for 5. Praise be to Jesus that this is happening, and on Day 7 of the Novena.

  74. Thanking God for all he has done in my life and that of my family, and also asking him for financial breakthrough and also bless me with a job. With this I ask through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen.

  75. My 2 sons were moving into a new house to rent together. They had planned (regardless of their upbringing or my objections) to have a 3rd roommate (my son’s girlfriend) to move in claiming to save money. Before this novena was over my son told me the girlfriend backed out and it would be just the 2 boys. I thank Gid, St. Monica and St. Augustine for this answer to prayer.๐Ÿ™

  76. I was praying to get a job that I applied and interviewed for and I got it today, thank you so much St.monica for interceding For me !!!

  77. I thank God for my children. I prayed for my daughter Eliana who has some delay in communication and with God’s blessing she is improving. My baby son is doing well. I also prayed for him during this novena

  78. Thru this Novena I was praying for peace for some family members. This peace came in the form of a job for one. My family member heard I was excited for the job and I praised this person for hard work and effort and was able witness my faith and talk about novena.

  79. I was able to cook and clean today! I was very happy that St. Monica is helping me be a better wife and mother.

  80. Our son is in a rehab and doing well. Our house is under contract. Thank you St. Monica, for interceding and bringing us this special blessings

  81. At the beginning of the novena, my prayer request was to get a documentation from my local electoral office exonerating me that i was registered in error and had never vote. On the third day of the novena, i went to the office and requested for the documentation. I got it within an hour. Thank you God.

  82. I have been on contract for 2 years at where I work. I prayed the novena asking that I be given a permanent employment. On the 5th day of the novena, I got the permanent employment letter.
