  3. Praise and Glory to Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of Kings! For I am weak in strength, character and faith & He still loves me and forgives me and answers me. I am awed by His Power and Understanding. I simply am awed by Him. He hears our prayers. He answers our prayers. He is always there when we call on Him. Do not doubt. He is as alive as flowers in a field. Have faith; He is Risen. Thank You Lord Jesus, Thank You. Amen

  30. Thank you so much for your faithfulness, dear John-Paul and Annie for keeping us all in prayer with these beautiful novenas.

    I have been following these novenas and online retreats which are wonderful for the soul and our growing faith! Glory be to God for your generous offering to keep this website online.

    My 34 yr old son has been struggling for over 20 yrs now from the past sins of his biological father, alcoholism and violence. He has rejected his faith in his late twenties and is now struggling even more than his biological father with the same sins plus all the sins that comes with alcoholism. Paise be to God! After 10 yrs of prayer, my son no longer is a slave to alcohol!
    My husband and I have been praying for him and we are beginning to see the fruits of these long years of prayer.
    I am confident that God is going to win his soul back. All praise and glory be to His Son Jesus Christ who has the victory over the sins of alcoholism.

My daughter was seeking a new job because her current job, with a Catholic organization, decided after more than two years without a vaccine due to religious objections, she needed one now. She received two excellent offers this week. Thank you St. Monica for your intercessions.

  40. I prayed for an inmate patient of mine. He is both mentally ill, and medically ill. I am his psychologist. He had been resisting any help, refusing to speak, refusing to eat or take medications. I felt his despair but he has a hard time trusting anyone who works in the prison. I have dedicated this novena you him and asking for enlightening on how I could engage him better. Yesterday he came out of his cell, we got him a shower after weeks of him refusing, he ate and drank and accepted his medications. We had a long therapy session and it is a beginning. My novena helped me to get in touch with him as he began to recognize I was there for him.

This is enabling me to pray more for my family, who like Saint Monica’s own family no longer are practising Catholics and this worries me greatly. Knowing her prayers were answered gives me great hope and I will continue to pray to her daily .

  44. Thank you St Monica,

    I have 3 sons but was praying specifically for 2 as, one started mixing with bad company… He has done a total U turn and seen through what he considered to be his friends, that weren’t, and found new ones with a more positive influence.

    One dropped out of uni and was feeling a bit lost, he’s now got a business administration apprenticeship with his favourite rugby team and couldn’t be happier

    Both life changing events for them both

    Thank you so much.

  45. I want to thank God for an answer to an email my husband and I have been expecting for the past 12 weeks in his place of work and for taking away all our anxieties.

  46. My husband survived a brain hemorrhage from blood thinners 6 days ago..so far he has recovered without deficits. I do not pray for specific things when I pray a novena, there are so many loved ones who can use help. But this time I specifically asked for God’s will to be done, but to give strength for myself and help for my husband. The outcome was a miracle.

  47. I want to thankGod for granting my father quick recovery and healing. I pray that Hos healing would be permanent in Jesus’ name Amen.

Since I started praying these novenas in February 2022, I have received a couple interviews but I haven’t landed a job yet. I want to thank God for opening my eyes to see that it’s possible to move from a point I wasn’t getting any responses to this point of getting interviews.
    I recently did an interview with an organization I’d really like to work with and make a positive impact helping people. I haven’t received any feedback yet, but I pray that the job God has kept for me may come soon.

  64. I need your advice
    I have become lazy in praying
    I am jobless
    I went for interview but l didn’t make it
    I feel so bad
    Which novena should I pray

  65. My wedding ceremony is finally coming up in December. I thank God for his mercies. And also pray my relocation plans with my husband comes fast and easy.

  66. Just before we started this novena, my husband of 10 years said he was done and wanted a divorce. I can’t say it came from no where but it was rather unexpected at the time. He had cheated on me 4 years straight and when I confronted him with proof he made me seem like a fool, denied it continued to see this other woman with no discretion this time. To say I was broken was an understatement. I turned to God and started to distance myself from him. I suppose he never imagined me disconnecting from us and so he came back claims he’s clean and wants us to renew our vows even coz a lot has happened to us. We need a fresh start he said. I believed none of it and day in day out tormented him where his mistress is and why he’s spending more time at home now. Why he’s punishing her by making her wait while he “fixes” his marriage. I was so convinced he was lying, because no way could he have left her after all the things he put me through to keep her in the 4 years they were together.
    When I started this novena my request daily was “God may your will be done, and help me accept your will and grant me the strength to carry your will.” 4 days into the prayers my husband returns to our bedroom from the guest bedroom, starts making conversation being very nice. I had to ask why and he says you are my home. As I progressed with the prayers I realized my mistakes of failing to trust God the time my husband said he wasn’t seeing anyone anymore but instead I did things that pushed him away. I am grateful to God for answering my prayers and even those I did not ask for! In just less than a week my marriage is getting stronger and I have faith it’s God’s will for us to be happy in Christ once again!! Thank you St Monica for your intercessions

  67. Thanks St Monica for answering my prayers I see change in my life, something unexpected happen

    People paid my money for the business
    I’ve been lazy to study but now I got courage to do my school work

    Amen

  72. I have been praying to get a job and after we started this novena I got a job interview and it was successful,am going to start may new job on 1st September. Thank you st Monica for interceding for me🙏 I have faith you will continue praying for my other petitions 🙏

  73. Praying has been a source of strength to me. I can testify my faith in God and what he can do has become super strong as I’ve learned how to pray. Peace has been restored in my life. Uncomfortable intentions have been realized. I just can’t stop with my 5am ritual of bowing down to God to acknowledge his great works in my life. During this nine days I have been praying for my kids and my first son has successfully gotten visa to study in the US and had a very smooth flight from Africa to Minnesota for school. God is awesome, prayer is the key. I can’t miss any Novena from this day onwards. I just thank this wonderful team for the work they do. Blessings to you all.

I started praying the St. Monica Novena and I can attest that God has been faithful to me and my family. I have been getting calls from prospective clients and believe that God has a good plan for me. A plan to see me prosper and thrive.

  84. I have prayed over the years for peace for my daughter who was bullied in high school and for us as a family to find peace within this situation. I have interceded with St Monica and my prayers have been answered over time. I continue with this novena for peace and harmony in our minds and hearts through Christ Jesus.
