  3. Since the start of the Novena my senior brother was in an induced coma in an ICU after a double operation to restore back his Colon after carrying a Stoma for almost a year. We thought we are losing him so I asked for the intercession of St. Monica for healing. I prayed my Rosary and the Lady undoer of Knots for her motherly intercession. Low and behold I spoke with him yesterday and he is awake. Our Father in heaven answered my prayers. I have nothing but praise and adoration for the gift of life for my brother from the Bread of Life himself our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thanks to all that prayed the Novena with me. May the peace and love of God be with you all. Amen

  4. Thank you St. Monica. My Doctor Daughter’s malpractice suit was thrown out after five days by the Judge before it even went to the jury and before the defense gave her side. The Judge said there was not enough evidence of any wrong doing on the Doctor’s part. Praise God. Thank you.

  5. I prayed to St. Monica and other Saints for a benign result of a thyroid nodule biopsy I had on the sixth day of this Novena. On the the seventh day of the Novena I received the results that it was benign. I am so grateful to these Saints for their intercession for me. 🙏🙏🙏

  6. I prayed for a good outcome for my sister through her cancer surgery and she has come through with great success. She still has a long road ahead but she is through the worst of it and continues to heal. Thank you St. Monica and all those who believe in the power of prayer!

  7. Praise God. Thank you Jesus!
    My prayers have been answered!!! Amen.
    I thank God, I thank everyone here who prayed for me and I thank St. Monica, St. Jude, St. Rita, St. Francis de Sales and our Blessed Mother Mary for praying and interceded my petitions on my behalf.
    I am so grateful and blessed.
    May love, light peace and harmony be with all of you and I pray for all of you as well.
    I do ask God to forgive my unbelief at times and I pray for strength for my belief.
    In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen!

  8. I started the Saint Monica novena praying that my son would find employment. Four days in he rang to tell me has got a job. The power of prayer is a wonderful thing.

  9. I prayed this novena for my son’s admission in a different school and he was on the wait list for 2 years. On the first day of the novena I received a call for an interview at the school and a few days later we were offered a place at the school. Thank you St Monica for this blessing and for your powerful prayers.

    Amen

  10. Thanks be to God for answering my prayers through Saint Monicah.
    For a long time we have been praying for God’s grace to sell our property and God to give us a home to settle our family…and God has heard our prayer and we are in the selling process now.
    Glory be to God. We thank saint Monica for praying for us through Christ our lord.

  11. I prayed for my son to get his first job, one that will glorify God! He got a part time job.
    Thank you St Monica!

  12. My daughter and I have had a strained relationship for some years now. I prayed to St Monica to help us mend the turbulence between us. We have agreed to talk and try hard to reestablish our relationship. I am so thankful !

  13. I had my prayer answered on Day 1 of the St Monica novena! I had a 3 1/2 year battle with the IRS over an issue of a tax exempt pension. Potentially owing over $100,000 if I lost the case. I lost many nights of sleep over this and the paperwork back and forth consumed my life. I prayed everyday without fail and it wasn’t looking good for my case since we were 3wks from trial and up until the day we started the St Monica novena together they denied any documentation in my favor. Next step was to go before a US Tax Court Judge in Sept. and I was very apprehensive. WELL, since St Monica is the saint for ongoing prayer requests I started the 9 day novena asking for the IRS to rule in my favor. Two hours after I said the first prayer of the 9 day novena I got a call from the IRS attorney informing me that they are going to concede the case and no money was due and court date cancelled! This was out of the blue!! Believe me a TRUE miracle!!! Thank you for praying with me!

  14. Thank you for finding the right house for us at a price we can afford. It will be safe for me with my limitations.

  15. Thank you to St. Monica for the intercession in bringing my son out of a mental breakdown. He is on his way to a good life & it was not possible without fervent prayer, intercession a & the mercy & love our our lord. We continue to pray to St. Monica for continued improvement. How blessed is he that his birthday is also on the Feast Day of St. Monica! What an amazing blessing!! Thank you!

  20. I thank God for giving me a new job that is way better than the one I was doing before.
    Before leaving for my new job, the accountant in my former office threatened that I will come begging in her house for her to pay me my accrued allowances but God is not man. The reverse has been the case, the accountant and the HR have been calling and texting me for over 3 days now to come pick up my allowances.

I recently had a multinational company reach out to me asking for interviews. I started St Monica’s novena. On the 7th day, I finished with my 2nd interview. Today being the last day of this Novena, I have a final interview with the company. Am so grateful to God for answering my prayers through the intercession of St Monica. I hope to get my job offer letter in a few days. Thank God with me.

My friend Elaine’s breast cancer surgery went very well and she is in a positive frame of mind and heart. And My dear Msgr. R. Has been moved to a short term rehab facility. Thank you for allowing me to pray with you. God bless you.

  53. I started this year unemployed and worried about the prospect of getting a new job amidst this very certain economic and social climate. I tried to remain faithful even amidst the despair but my faith waned at times. I started the St Joseph Novena in March and several other novenas thereafter. I got my first job offer in May 2021 which I gladly accepted. In August 2021 an even more attractive job offer, which is just what I really aspired to achieve. I know that this success did not come just from my effort but from God and the work He has been doing in my life. I am grateful and humbled by this ever restoring grace. God continues to shine His light in my life even through the trying times and I know He will do the same for the person reading about my answered prayer. Trust in God and may he continue to bless you.

  54. I have been praying for a very long time for my son to find a job that he loves, that means something to him and that can help with his self confidence. He has been working at a new job for about a month and is doing great!

  71. Years ago during a very stressful time in my life, my friend sent me the link to these Novenas .
    What a blessing that was! Everything that I prayed for , over the years, was granted!
    Here is a small example of prayers answered

    For my son to get on a better path and graduate high school- He is now in COLLEGE on the dean’s list!

    For my oldest and his wife to have a healthy baby-
    They are now parents of a beautiful, healthy daughter who just turned 2 , with a little son on the way!! Also, for my son and his family to be able to move closer to us.-He was promoted to a position that brought them 30 min from us!

    For my drug addicted nephew to get into a rehab-
    He is now clean, healthy and and back with his loving family!

    For my husband to fully recover from Covid- He is now healthy and doing great!

    This is just a small example of how these novenas have helped me! I pray you all get your prayers answered. Amen!

  72. I asked for joy in the same way my sister who is extremely spiritual experiences joy. My prayer was answered almost immediately on the first day. That also made me realize MY PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED!!! Even the difficult ones I can’t see. Thank you St Monica for answering and sending me this message.

  74. Yesterday my husband consented to life prolonging surgery. St. Monica
    I also continue to pray for his conversion. Most grateful!

  75. A simple prayer to God recently was answered: “Help our grandchildren to laugh more, not be so serious or worried”. They are 2-10yrs (8 of them in 3 different families), in which COVID & other concerns have caused fears in their lives. Just last night, I saw a posting that one of the families had a “laughing contest”… such a simple & powerful answer to prayer, only God knew!
