Thank you for joining us in praying the St. Monica Novena!
If you’ve had any of your prayers answered throughout this novena, you can share those with us all below. We’re praying for you!
My son not only returned to the practice of his faith but is actively evangelizing his friends.
My son Michael came to church with me after a few years of not attending. The church which I have never been to was St Augustine!! Not a coincidence at all and my mother in law Emergency visit to hospital went well. Thank you St Monica!!
I have been praying for my daughter for a long time that she finds a better job and gets an apartment. I started praying on day 3 of St. Monica novena and that night she got both a job offer for more money than she’s currently making and an apartment became available in the complex she was looking at for a while. Thank you Lord, Mary, St. Jude and St. Monica 🙏🏻
I asked healing and good results for my daughter who needed a liver transplant. She has been waiting 7 years for a donor and received a liver last Tuesday. Everything went well and she will have to stay in the hospital a little longer but is in good spirits.
Thank YOU, JESUS!!!
My grandson has improved slightly. He remains in the hospital, but he is progressing very slowly. His name is Preston and he is only 7 years old. Continuing to pray. God is good.
On the third day of the novena, we prayed for “troubled marriages and for spouses who have no faith or have fallen away from the faith.” This describes my marriage and my spouse. On that day, my brother, who lives in a different city from ours) spotted my husband out on a date and told him that he needed to tell me what was going on. There are a million people in this city – this did not happen by chance. I know this doesn’t sound like good news, but the Lord works in mysterious ways. Praise Him for hearing our prayers and for the work He is doing in my marriage and my husband’s and my hearts 💜
My cancer screening was clear, and my marriage has greatly improved during several trials that came up.
Now I pray for the peaceful passing of a relative who is in hospice and whose immediate family is in need of great serenity, consolation, and peace among them. St. Monica, pray for us! Thank you Lord for your answered prayers, Amen.
My son slowly showing changes for the better after wasting his time on something invaluable to his life and future. I prayed to our dear St Monica to intercede, and bring my prayers to God Almighty, and she did! My son continuously showing his gradual changes on himself, realizing all his mistakes that brought him to a miserable state. I pray 🙏 St Monica will continue to touch his mind soul and body to be a good and kind human being to himself and to others. 🙏🙏
I prayed for daughter to deliver safely. She delivered a bouncing healthy baby girl safely last weekend. To God be the glory.
Thank you for delivering me out of an impossible work situation and giving me the wisdom to cope with it in a loving way.
Great peace and joy with trusting and Glorifying God that he has our loved ones protected and their friendships changing to assist all with eternal truths of salvation,mercy.
Three grandchildren have expressed interest in getting closer to God. Thank you, Lord.
Dear friends
My husband has secured some work in the fall!! Praise God, our Blessed Mother and St Monica.
I am continuing to ask for prayers for my son who starts university in Sept and for more work for my husband.
Thank you and God Bless you.
I was very depressed at the beginning of the novena. I had to force to pray for the first three days. By the fourth day the depression was gone and each day I felt lighter and happier. Btw .. St Monica is not one of my favourite saints so I didn’t even want to pray this novena.
I am thankful that the family intervention for our alcoholic son went very well!
The story of St. Monica is inspiring. Her faith moved and encouraged me. On day 9 of this novena St. Monica interceded and Jesus answered my prayers for my son to become gainfully employed. His hunt for employment has spanned the last 15 months and we are delighted and humbled by this blessing. Additionally, I prayed for my son to be more open to hearing the word of God. His willingness to listen is growing! Thank you St Monica and Praise the Lord!
Thank you St. Monica & Jesus! My 31 year old daughter, her 7 month baby, & her non-Catholic husband attended mass with us this past Sunday. She had not been to a Sunday mass since she was 7 months pregnant. She is planning to baptize her baby. Please pray that she will do this soon, continue to attend mass, and that her husband will join the Catholic faith as well.
My youngest daughter went to mass yesterday and has invited me to attend mass with her next Sunday. I am eternally grateful for her friend and friend’s mother for taking her to mass. I am so excited to go to mass with her. I’ve also been blessed to have my oldest move just 2 hours away from home. She was on the other side of the country and now she is closer. Thank you God!
Thx you Jesus and St Monica for your intercession. Yesterday on day 8 of the St Monica novena … our son came to tell us he is severing all ties to the extramarital affair he’s been involved in for some years. I pray for his perseverance, honesty and all the grace he needs to return to his wife and 4 children who are estranged and her forgiveness and their healing as a couple and family. ♥️🙏
My two adult sons attended Sunday mass with me. Please keep me and my boys in your prayers that they make this a weekly promise to God. And that we grow closer in communication and love. A start to bring their family to church. St. Monica continue to pray for us and all of Gods children. Amen.
I prayed for a Lawnmower and now we have received two. I am so grateful for that blessing. Thank you St. Jude for interceding on my behalf!!! AMEN 🙏
I would like to thank Our Lord Jesus Christ through the intercession of St. Monica. I passed my road test! I have prayed for this intention during our 9-day novena to St. Monica. I am truly blessed. Thank you St. Monica!
Emotional & spiritual healing for Jessica Gonzalez, Cynthia Bueno. & Fred Farsi.

I started this novena and that to Saint Augustine for soft running of my visa application process. To the glory of God I successfully completed it today, I await the decision of the embassy; I know that God will not fail me.
My son went to confession, my prayer was answered!! God is SO good. Saint Monica pray for us, and for those far from the Catholic faith.
Praised be to you Lord Jesus Christ!

I thank God for the gift of life for us. Been struggling to get money for my German lessons which is quite a lot but I thank God I was able to get a tutor willing to give me free German lessons until I’m done. Still hoping and praying for a job. Glory be to God.
Thanksgiving for prayers answered for my son and his car situation. Continue to pray for both my sons, better job for one and that both may find houses they can afford. Also for my youngest to come to mass more often.
Please help St Monica to bring peace to my family and cure me from Parkinson’s and neuropathy and help me to feel better so I can function normally. Thank you to all the saints for keeping me cancer free. Thank you Lord.
Answered prayer: unity in our home, after six months of no salary, I am told the name has appeared, widows turned up for a retreat to celebrate their Patron, Saint Monica .
We thank St. Monica and bless God forever. Amen.
Prayed for my granddaughter to find a job and an apartment and to come back to the faith. She starts her new job today. We sent her money for a deposit on an apartment. She finally found one that she can afford. She said she has been praying, Hopefully she is coming home to the faith as well and will soon come home to us with her son.
Still praying she will be healed physically and mentally and be the smart , beautiful young lady she was . God please protect them both and St Monica please pray for her and her family. May we be patience that this will come to a good conclusion. Give us the grace to pray with faith that all our prayers will be heard and answered. 🙏 Amen

I have been sick with Mast Cell activation syndrome, an autoimmune disease, for three years. I have been taking many medications, many supplements, and have been on a very restrictive diet. All my symptoms have completely disappeared! I no longer need a cane to walk! Praise God and St. Monica!
Since I have been devoted to Saint Monica, praying her novenas Asking for her help with my son, I have received great miracles with him. My son was very revolting using drugs and in very bad companies. He had practically abandoned his family. He always hated me and all family but most me he was furious! It was so much hate in his hard. No good words would come out of his mouth only cursing and terrible things. But Saint Monica has transformed his life in some way that I could never imagine. I can’t even describe the kind of man he is now. It’s like he reborn again. I am so thankful to her to God and to Jhon Paulo and Annie for introducing me this so powerful novena. So God help us all and lets keep praying together never give it up people!🙏🧚♀️

Please pray for my 35 yr old special needs nephew. It seems the shunt may be failing but neurosurgeon reluctant to acknowledge. He’s been at Cleve Clinic since last Tuesday, and they WERE gonna do surgery Friday, but intubating him now that he has pneumonia is not good. He was born hydrocephalic and has had 78 surgeries in his life, last one was 3 years ago. He’s had headaches and staggering. Pray for guidance He’s in ICU and they allow his mom to stay cuz she is a nurse and he’d be unable to help with dexterity issues.
My 14 year old grandson whom I have asked for prayers is now coming back to live with us in Idaho from Las Vegas; and go to school here and begin going to Mass with us again 🙏🥰❣️Thanks for the prayers and God is so Good!
I felt my healing beginning. Not sure how to explain how it started to make me think & feel differently towards the people who hurt me. But
I started to feel differently towards them almost the same day I started this novena. I felt healing happening to me in the way I looked at the people that hurt me. I had one of these people reach out to me & accept the start of our healing process together. This novena brought about something I never felt before. Thank you St. Monica I know you heard every word I said & I’m very grateful.

My requests for healing for members of my family and friends , from injuries and cancer treatments have been answered as best as could be desired.
I quietly prayed for relative who is VERY overweight,and going into Jr.High. Out of the blue,she and her mom have come up with idea of having healthy snacks made up the nite before,for her to grab when she gets home.

Shows awareness of problem,and much better attitude! I am so thankful for my faith!

Thank you St. Monica. Thank you Jesus. Thank you all you Saints and Angels. I have praying novenas for years! God is always good and faithful.

On 13th August I had a chat with my Managers over non extension of my employment contract (devastating thou), in the same discussion there was an option of adding me a 2 month contract but with reduced pay, today I must say that we conclude the discussion with me accepting to take on the short contract and I want to thank God for guiding this decision regardless of the reduced pay.
I ask that you continue to pray for me to witness a bigger breakthrough within this period, so help me God.
Glory be to God the Father.
Amen
Pray answered
My son after going to a Catholic University, decided to take a “break” from going to Sunday mass for the last 2 1/2 yrs. He joyfully went to mass with us without asking him. Praise God! Saint Monica, thank you for you intercession !
My husband has Parkinson’s disease and is able to walk very little. On the 4th day of the novena we saw a new doctor who in reviewing his chart found another problem which is treatable and could greatly increase his walking. Grateful for St Monica’s intercession and God’s goodness.
I have been praying novenas for 15 years in asking for my daughter’s husband past marriage would be annulled so my daughter could receive the sacraments. She received a a letter from the bishop 2 days ago that a the annulment has been approved. Thank you all for joining me in my prayers. Thank you God and St Monica. 🙏🙏🙏💗
I have been praying for re-version for my adult children to the church…this past weekend, they went to church on their own!! All my life you have been faithful, Lord…AMEN!
I have been praying the Novena that I will find the courage to visit a church and be closer to God . Ever since I started the novena I found the courage to visit the church for the first time in years. I am so glad to be coming closer to God.
I have prayed for my son to complete his education for over four years. I am grateful to report he finally returned to school. Thanks to all who joined me in this Novena.
Lord please 🙏 thanks for excusing me from Jury Duty. Amen
Thank you St.Monica.
My heart tests came out normal .
🙏
My whole family are my prodigals. I pray for them each day. Today my wife (non-practicing Lutheran most of her life) asked me about some specific changes going on in an adjacent Catholic parish. This led to a long conversation (tw0-way!) regarding what is going on in the Catholic Church today (closures and consolidations, renewals, etc.). It seems she has a better understanding of at least a few of the specific changes going on in Catholicism, but she still has a long way to go.
After a year away from his Catholic faith in an effort to please his new wife who has ill feelings toward that faith, my grandson met with our Msgr and was at Mass yesterday and had pledged his time and talent. Thank you St Monica for carrying my prayer to our Lord. In Jesus name.
Thank you St Monica for your example of perseverance in prayer.
My prayer for my son to find a good Catholic girl was answered . I continue to pray for them to grow closer to Jesus and mama Mary . Also a thank you prayer for a healthy grand son
Good morning ‼️ I have prayed for many years to St Monica. My son is now in sobriety and has a job. In my eyes he is a miracle. I continue praying and I am so thankful🙏❤️
My son Michael, has terminal cancer and I’ve been praying for him bigtime. He’s very sick and he told me that he isn’t comfortable asking God to help him. I told him about a reading that said that God wants him to ask for help and that God loves him. Mike responded that he plans to pray more and to ask for Gods help. A big step I’d say. Thank you God for letting me know what to do.
Please, St. Monica, ask the Lord to grant my son continued healing from the unexpected and devastating illness that came from out of nowhere. We are beyond grateful for the skill of all the medical professionals who have brought him this far. Please, may he go on to have a long, healthy, and normal life. Please also bring spiritual and emotional healings within the family.

Thank you St. Monica for interceding for my husband J. He is working on his alcohol addiction. Please continue to bring him strength to fight this and bring him back to his Catholic faith, God willing. Thank you for all these wonderful prayers answered.
In Jesus name I pray.
Our son’s fiancé registered for classes to become Catholic. They will marry in the church next year. Thank you
My daughter is looking for meaningful employment. She is a scientist and is very smart but has had trouble finding a job. We went “suit shopping” yesterday and found something easily for her- a 6ft full sized young woman- which I claim as an answered prayer! Please pray for her to find a job where she can use her knowledge and training in a meaningful way. Thank you.
I am grateful for the blessings I received with a new job suddenly coming to me that meets and exceeds my financial needs. I was released from my prior contract with ease. I am grateful for this new opportunity and owe my gratitude to St. Monica.
