  1. I’ve been having such difficulty praying these last few months. Whether it be opening the Bible or just saying the Rosary.

    I had a breakthrough last week when I came across the email to start St.Monica’s novena. To my surprise I never knew St.Monica only knew her son St. Augustine

    Every reflection for these 9 days compressed my life into St.Monica’s faith, patience, hope and love. That no matter the adversities that I face in my life, God loves and cares for me it took me almost a year to re-connect to my faith. I have been anxious, uneasy, unsure and restless about my journey that 2020 changed. But now I trust God, I have hope in him, I have undying faith I have his love. I am his daughter and no matter what no matter how painful and no matter how it hurts he WILL see me through. I am the daughter of a loving and caring father that no matter what he will hold my hand, he will show me the way and he will grant me the favor that I seek in my life. Because he has never forsaken me and he won’t start now.

    Thank you so much to the Pray More Novenas Team you guys never give up on prayer and are always steadfast in our faith. Thank you all for your consistency. This platform saves and changes lives. May God continue to bless all of you. Mary and the Saints.

  2. I have been praying for a wayward son who once was an altar boy and has had a change of life style (not for the better) for many years now. He has been making very small changes on the positive side and has been kinder; and he also found a job. Thank you St. Monica for your heavenly intervention. Please continue to pray for his conversion and return to mother church. Thank you so much God Bless you.

  3. I thank God Almighty for hearing my prayers through pray more novenas prayers. All I asked him, he has begin to answer all my prayers. Thank you Lord, thank you to St Monica, and thank you to all the saint that I have pray their prayers in Jesus name Amen.

  9. 1. Church members gave me a lot of hard times without any reasons, and I prayed to Our Lord that I only have faith and prayed that the interpersonal issues between church members gives me very hard time so please Out Lord to resolve the issues, and Our Lord listened to my prayers and resolved the issues.

    2. Before leading a prayers in church, I asked Our Lord whether I should lead or not. And I got an answer and as a result, I led the prayers. 3 days ago, someone told me in definite that she will lead the prayers so I thought maybe I misunderstood Our Lord’s intention. But a day ago, that same person told me that she cannot lead the prayer so I should lead the prayer again.

  14. 10 years ago I was separated from my husband, between jobs, had a true diagnosed nervous breakdown after years of “stuffing” trauma from the past, and had HS/college age kids who were turning my hair gray (literally!). I started REALLY praying and novenas became my “go to”. Today I have reconnected with my first born who was surrendered for adoption 39 years ago, my husband and I are still together and thriving as empty nesters, our other 3 grown children are not as “wayward” as they were during college years (they are all doing so well!) and we have a 12 year old granddaughter we never knew about. Blessings are raining down left and right and 10 years ago I didn’t even want to be on this planet anymore. Keep the faith and keep praying just like St. Monica did. I certainly am.

  30. I was awaiting my results for my bachelor degree. I came across St. Monica’s Novena, the day before my result and I remember reciting the prayer asking God for a good result. I was immersed in anxiety and worry at that time and the only thing that gave me hope is that God has a plan for me. I remember praying this novena to calm my nerves down and for a good grade. The next day my result was announced and I had passed with good marks! I was elated and praised God. This novena has gotten me through that stressful moment.

  31. Thank you faithful God. I wrote my exams without any anxiety and it went very well. Trusting God for success and great results. Thank you St. Monica and thank you all for praying. Let us keep praying . I pray God meets every one of us at the point of all our needs. Amen.

She was very sick w CoViD in the hospital. Unconscious with organs failing and on a cpap for oxygen. . Her prognosis was very bleak. I had received word that the medical team discovered she had developed blood clots leading to all her organs. Oh WoW. Dire.
    Wait for it. On this 9th day. I received word. The team were able to eliminate the blood clots without causing other damage. Her oxygen was beginning to forge upward. She has awakened and eating.

This past week her rheumatologist decided to try something he noticed has worked for a couple of his patients who are on chemo drugs and have lost their hair. He put them on minoxidil (the 60 year old hair loss med) and noticed that their wounds are closing and their nails are growing soft instead of thick and calloused.
