  2. During the novena this year, I prayed for my family to be restored financially, I prayed for good school results cause my exams were quite difficult and I also prayed that I stopped bed wetting
    To the glory of God, my dad was called back to his previous job from which he was sacked 2 years ago, I passed all my courses and I haven’t bedwetted since.
    Thank you St. Monica!
    Glory to Jesus and honor to Mary!

  3. We prayed that our baby girl would be born safely and at a good time. She was born a week early, on the last day of the novena (at 11:15 PM, almost on St. Monica’s feast!). Our babysitter was able to come out to watch our other children, and we were able to get to the hospital in time. Our daughter is now 2 weeks old and perfectly healthy!

  4. Have been praying for my daughter’s return to church and a faith based life. During the Novena she interviewed and gained employment in a Catholic organization. She has already commented on starting and ending each thing that is done with prayer and reflection.

    Thank you St. Monica!
    Thank you Jesus!

  5. St Monica interceded to the Lord to provide me with housing. I was in need of last minute housing at my university, and I was given the most amazing gift of a job on my college campus that provides an apartment. I received the amazing news on the 9th day of the St Monica novena. Thank you🙏 I am forever grateful.

  6. Last year I prayed this novena for my father to quit being an alcoholic and my request was granted. He has been in remission for about 8 months now

    This year, I prayed for 10 intentions during this novena. To the Glory of God, one has been answered.

    That is, I pray for God’s grace to move into family life. On Saturday the 31st of August, my friend proposed to me.

    I am so happy and give all praise to God. Thank God for the gift of St Monica. She has been a blessing to me and the mother of my patron saint, St Augustine.

  7. Dear St Monica, I thank you for answering my prayers. My husband who has Multiple Myeloma blood cancer has had 2 years where no maintenance drug worked for his cancer. He started on a new drug in July and on Tuesday last the consultant rang and said this new drug has put his cancer in remission in just 6 weeks. This was towards the end of St. Monica’s novena. His arm broke 2 weeks ago from disease, please St. Monica grant good results and healing for his right arm. I remember everyone making this novena in my prayers. I am forever grateful to St. Monica.

  8. Thank you dear God for answering my prayer.

  15. After many months of no phone calls, I was on the phone with my son for an hour. I continue to pray that rifts in our family be healed, all my sons have their faith in God rekindled, for our youngest son to receive healing and motivation to go to school/find a job where he would thrive and give glory to God.
    Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayers through the intercession of St. Monica.

  16. Thank you St. Monica/Holy Mary/St. Jude/St. Joseph/St. Rita, for returning my son to the faith right after I started this novena. He had veered from the faith to a non-Christian racist group. I prayed for his return to the faith. Two days ago my daughter announced at the dinner table that my son was no longer with the group. She proceeded to repeat all the things he had apparently told her denouncing the group. I looked at my son expecting him to deny he told her those things and for him to become defensive. Instead he looked at me sheepishly and smiled in confirmation. Thank you, St. Monica! Thank you, Lord Almighty!

Today, being August 27, 2024, my company called me and asked that I resume work tomorrow, August 28. To God be the glory! Amen 🙏
    Thank you so much St. Monica for your intervention. Thanks to everyone who have prayed for me. Amen 🙏

  20. Thank you for answered prayers. I joined the novena hoping God will hear and answer my prayer for peace in my marriage. For the first time over 25years of marriage, I experienced peace and harmony that I had lost hope in. Praise be our Lord Jesus Christ.

  33. I was praying for my children and grandchildren to come back to church. On the last day August 26 my granddaughter came to me and ask. “Can you start taking me to 10:30 mass on Sunday?” I said “Yes” praise you Jesus and thank you!

  34. I give thanks to the Lord for speaking to me during this Novena. I dedicated the St Monica Novena to my eldest son- seeking intercession as he looks for internship/entry level placements having concluded his undergraduate studies. I thank the Lord that we have received some favourable responses and that the Lord has opened up our thoughts to thinking about his course graduation next year.
    I also sought intercession for my youngest as he commences official schooling, that he may be healthy and can experience the joy of learning. 1 week to school, he’s healthy and stable and excited about school.

    I’m thankful for these signposts even as we await our prayers to be fully answered.

  35. Dear Jesus, Mary and St. Monica, please heal us 🙏 Spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally.

    God is good.

  36. I was praying for financial breakthroughs in my family and getting worried because several bills were due. I thank God for providing for us.

    I was also praying for a change in my children’s behaviour. I thank God for the early miracles and trust Him for more improvements in the coming days, months and years.

    I am grateful to Our Lady, St Monica and all the saints for the intercession.

    Thank you Jesus!

  37. I have been praying for breakthrough in my work(I am insurance agent), I started receiving request for my services after months of waiting. though they are yet to subscribe, which they will definitely come for it because God is in control. Thank you Saint Monica for your intercessions. Glory to God. I also show appreciation to those who organized this novena 🙏

  38. I have been praying for my daughter for deliverance from alcohol and for her to embrace christian values. On saturday she borrowed me a rosary so she can be praying in her house! All Glory to Jesus. Thank you St Monica for your intervention. I beg that you continue interceding for her for complete deliverance, to identify a career and business, a God fearing spouse and for financial breakthrough.

  39. This probably won’t mean that much but while I prayed the 9th prayer, it started raining so hard outside, and when I finished the rain stopped. We’ve been in such a drought and I’ve been asking the Father to send rain, and it just made me think that God was confirming he has heard St. Monica’s prayers on my behalf for the conversion of my loved ones. So I thank God for his provision!

  40. Thanking God through the intercession of St. Monica my boss at my work place now loves and has trust in me am really grateful for that.
    God has also showed me great favors,blessings and love and mercy upon my life.
    Lord am forever grateful in my life for all these answered prayers🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  41. Thanking God for His love and mercy, and for the efficacy of St. Monica’s intercession. The intention to have my entire family pray more and advance in holiness, is bearing fruit. This is also my personal experience. I have had inspiration, peace, and favour that could have only proceeded divinely. My brother had his entire investment restituted after his bank was liquidated; our renovation project also was successfully completed during this time, and I have greater conviction now that my family’s spiritual and physical liberation is nigh, and our stumbling blocks to achieving excellence and greatness, have been lifted. Thank you, Lord God. May you continue to be blessed and glorified in your Saints. Thank you, St. Monica. Thank you, every intercessor on here. May God bless you all.

  42. My husband and I were in a rut and couldn’t seem to get out of it. It seemed like we spent too much time complaining and irritating one another. During the Novena to St. Monica, I felt an inspiration about what to say to my husband. I went to the room he was in and I said, “How about a truce? We won’t complain about each other or say something that will likely irritate the other. Instead, we will only speak kindly to one another. He surprised me when he said, “Okay”. I’m happy to say that there has been a complete turn around, and we are out of our rut.

    Thank you for sharing this Novena.
    Thank you St. Monica for your Intercession.

  43. I prayed this novena for 2 intentions. One was was answered almost immediately; the other has shown a good progress and I feel will be answered soon! Thanks, Sweet St. Monica!

    Praise you Jesus! All Glory to God Almighty. Thank you Mother Mary for intercession and St Monica

  46. I have been praying for my daughter’s husband to want children and for them to be blessed with a healthy baby and mom. I also have been praying for my son and his wife to be blessed with a baby. My son told my husband and I that they are having a baby in December.! We praise and thank you Jesus for answering our prayer for my son and his wife! We also thank the Blessed Virgin Mary for interceding for us to Jesus. Also, I will continue to pray for my daughter and her
    husband to be blessed with children for all things are with our God! We praise you Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

  47. Devin, my grandson battling osteosarcoma is doing very well. Chemo is working and his knee replacement is healing well also!! He has two more months of chemo so prayers are still
    needed. They are the reason he is doing well…we are all convinced of this! God is so good!🙏

  48. About 3 weeks ago my sister went in for a check of a spot on her arm and found out it was a melanoma. It hit our family so hard, especially since we had lost both our parents to cancer. She got on the surgery schedule pretty quickly after her scan had shown 2 lymph nodes that looked suspicious. I started this novena to St Monica and prayed every day for her. Her surgery went well, and today she received the results we had all been praying for – the margins from the melanoma were clear and neither lymph nodes were cancerous!!! Thank you St Monica and thank you to God the Father Almighty! Amen ♥️🙏

  49. My intentions of this Novena have not been fulfilled just yet but I will know soon about one intention. I still pray for improvements in marriage, although I do feel I’m accepting God’s good Will for me more each day. Maybe it’s best for me. Prayers for my children to do well and meet good Christian partners and remain close to God and for my brother-in-law’s heart to warm to his mother and prioritize her needs not out of having to but because he wants to. Thank you St Monica for interceding on our behalf.

  50. My husband fell.xrays showed a fracture. Right upper arm.
    Started doing the novena. Friday after his CT
    Showed no fracture. Cast was removed. Hand in a sling for another 10 days

  51. Dear Saint Monica,
    Thank you for your prayers and intercessions.
    Please watch over, protect and pray for my son. As you did for your dear son St. Augustine.
    Please pray for my sisters, my grandson. Please pray for all in my healing prayer, Annie and John-Paul, and all praying this novena and their intentions.
    Thank you dear Saint. I love you.

  52. I have been praying novena after novena, Asking for the intercession of these wonderful Saints from my son Matthew to find a full-time job.
    Last Friday he heard back from a company that offered him a position. He starts September 2924
    Praise be to Jesus !!! Thank you, Saint Monica .
    I asked that you all please continue to pray for my son Matthew. That he will follow the path. The Lord Himself has laid out for him. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Savior.
    Amen

  53. My son returned to Mass yesterday, after many months of not attending. He started to go out and socialize more with others. Thank you Jesus and the intercession of St. Monica.

  54. My elder son started a new job, turning his negativity into positive action that benefits others.

    My friend gained a God-given helper in helping navigate all the red tape paperwork to gain health and veterans benefits for her disabled husband.

    My marriage is slowly improving as my husband acknowledges my work and sacrifices. He is stating some appreciation which helps our communication.

  55. My Son is one step closer to a really good job amd may even have an offer before the week is over. It is my hope that he does, but if not, it means something better is waiting for him.

  56. Been praying for my daughter to meet a nice man. She is 32 and God put someone in her path. God is good!♥️

  57. I Thank God for the Good Health. During this novena I have seen miracles happen. I was sick for over a month but by having Faith, I truly saw how God works in miracles.

    Thank You God and May your name be Praised Always

  58. I thank God accepting to change my mother’s condition. I started this novena when I am crying to the lord for my mother’s healing, there’s a lot of improvement and I thank God for his servant st. Monica

    Also I thank God for financial provision and protection on my job

    Thank you Jesus

  59. I don’t know yet if my prayers will be answered from this particular novena, but I do know and said that if prayers were answered from other Novenas, I would let people know. I have had prayers answered when I did a Novena to St. Joseph and a quick one from St.Christopher for my daughters benefit. And I wouldn’t change a thing despite the fact my personal request hasn’t been met yet that I have asked for. Discouragement and negativity can swiftly come to me but I do my best to push away Satan and keep positive thoughts and hopes that all will work in my favor. I hope it is Gods will.

  60. I’ve been praying for my grandson to get motivated to go back to school. Thank you Lord, he is back in college. I continue to pray that he can overcome his learning issues. I pray that his mind can be healed and that he no longer struggles to learn.

  61. The impact of retirement as Diocesan priest has surprised me in the past 8 years. The answer to prayer is that recently two young men have come to me to help them discern their life of service in the church. It is wonderful to see how Jesus is at work in their lives.

  62. Thank you God for shining your light upon my life, children, and husband. Thank you for the grace you have shown upon my family.

  63. I prayed for healing of high blood pressure, my numbers are very much better I’m still praying and hoping for the friutof the womb

  64. I was praying for a financial breakthrough for myself and my sister, as we have been suffering great lack and hardship. By the grace of God she is seeing a change and was able to pay her rent. We thank God for these blessings! Halleluiyah!

    I was also praying for my children who have developed a rebellious and disobedient nature. With all thanks to God, today the house was peaceful and they helped out with chores without being pushed. They were also calmer. We thank God for His blessings! Halleluiyah!

  65. Exam results for my Grandaughter.
    Also.
    Praying for my Son to return to Church and share his belief. He was a regular Mass attendee and believer until he returned from University.
    Saint Monica understands my prayer for him.

  66. Thanks be to God. I ģot a part time job from July to August. I was promised to be paid by end of Sept. To my surprisebI was paid even before the end of August. I needed money so much and was very broke.
    God heard my prayer because I have to pay for my lost vehicle. God is good all the tim
