During this 9 days of novena I always pray for my successful application in Deped , and then now he answered my prayer even though the 9 days novena is not yet done the Deped called me that I’m hired.

  2. During this novena, I was told my brother-in-law is to start OCIA classes, and my son and daughter-in-law have been going to different churches.

  9. Please pray for my mom who is having memory issues. She is in denial and is reluctant to seek treatment. I love her and want to help her but don’t know what to do. It’s often straining on our relationship. Jesus, I entrust my mother to you through your mother. St. Monica, pray for my mom!

  10. I want to thank God for saving my friend. Through out the nine days I prayed for the conversion of a friend and that he should encounter God to strengthen his faith. On the ninth day of the novena he called me that God saved him from death, that their bike almost run into a trailer but they were saved ,though he sustained minor injuries. I came to thank St Monica and give all the glory to God Almighty.

  11. My husband started therapy yesterday. I have wanted him to do this for the past 5 years. I think it will help him. Thank you St. Monica🙏

  17. Praise to our Lord. My daughters have begun speaking agin. I’ve been praying daily and my prayers are answered. Thank you.

  18. I prayed for my daughter to turn back to Catholicism and to take her child to church to be baptized. She discussed a church service she went to and enjoyed, Methodist, and that she is going to concentrate on bringing the holy Spirit to her child. Very beautiful discussion, hoping and believing in answered prayers when God’s timing is perfect. Thank you St. Monica for being with us every step of the way. Happy feast day!

  19. Answered prayers – grandson starting a career job with benefits. Now I pray he will stay with it and complete the year of study as an apprentice. Please Lord, give him the gift of endurance and perseverance. Thank You Lord, that he has received this opportunity.

  20. My husband has been going through an extended period of desolation and sadness due to our sons’ crosses. We prayed this novena together for a deeper conversion and, out of the blue, today, he asked me to go to Adoration with him.

  21. About a month ago, I had a dream in which our Blessed Mother told me to pray to St. Monica.
    So I prayed this novena for conversion of my family members.
    I know it’s not a deep conversion but my future daughter in law came to mass for the first time and brought her daughters (my grandaughters) with her! I thank St. Monica for her intercession and Jesus for responding to my prayer, even if it’s just a first step!

  22. I was diagnosed with the esophageal cancer. And my cancer is gone and my body seems so strong. We are not going to use immunotherapy. I’m just going to go for scans. I got that news today. thank you so much Jesus and Saint Monica.

  24. Thank you, Saint Monica, for letting my husband have a successful back surgery on Aug 25th. You along with other saints and Our Dear Lord and Blessed Mother and many family and friends brought him to have a successful surgery. He is home and is a little tired and sore but no side effects.

  27. Hallelujah!
    My prayers were answered!!! I was able to change my major and qualify for financial aid. I can now pursue my CMA ASSOCIATES. Certified Medical Assisting. Thank you MY LORD!

  28. I am so grateful! A friend’s Mom got her results from her mammogram and it was a benign growth.
    And, I received my heart CAC scan results last night and it was at 0 for build up in the arteries. I have been worried because of the high cholesterol numbers even though I have lost weight recently and exercise.
    Thank you, St. Monica, for the intervention.

  29. I was praying for my co worker home to be sold. She received an offer on August 24.
    St. Monica pray for us

  30. I have been praying for my son to come back to the Catholic Faith. He recently married a non catholic who is pulling him away from his faith and family.

    Pray so that the Holy Spirit can intervene.

    It is a Mortal Sin to not attend Mass.

    Being married to someone who is pulling you away from God and the Faith isn’t going to get you to heaven and it is a sin to get a divorce.

    St. Monica, pray for him.

    God, this is in Your hands.

  31. I was praying this Novena for my daughter who was trying to get pregnant with her second child after having a miscarriage months ago .She is now pregnant! I feel our prayers have been answered. Continue to pray for a healthy and viable pregnancy as well as a healthy baby. Thank you! We are so blessed.

  32. We were admitted to the NICU on the day my daughter was born. She had decreased oxygen, low blood sugar, and her blood count was very low. I started the St. Monica on day 5 of our stay, and on day 9 of the novena, we got word that we can go home! She improved dramatically in 2 days and things moved very fast in the right direction. Our doctors couldn’t believe it!
    St. Monica, pray for us!

  33. Amongst my petitions, was a prayer that a young mother who has very complex health issues, physical and mental and her daughter, similarly affected be given more support, particularly from her parents who have been reluctant to help. During this novena, they have begun to reach out to her. I pray fervently that this will continue to build. St Monica, please pray for this intention. Amen.

  34. Was praying for provision to pay for my treatment. I received a call today from my employer that I have a critical illness cover that I never knew about.

  35. I was reconciled with my husband and daughter. We have a time of peace, thank you and for my own conversion thank you.

  36. I thank God for my sister who offered to clear my rent arrears of 4 months, the biggest miracle l have received in a very long time.

    I pray that all her prayers are answered as well.
    May St Monica interceed for her.

  37. My son has been interviewing for job for almost 2 years. His funds were nearly depleted. Today, he received notice he has been hired and at a reasonable salary.
    Thank you all for prayers and praise God.

  38. Thanks be to God! My granddaughter, after much depression, has changed majors at university, and she is so happy and doing so well. Thank you for al your prayers!

  39. I have been praying to St Monica, in part, for my soon to be granddaughter in law. She has been in the hospital with seizures and begged the hospital priest to baptize her in case she died. He discussed with her and found out she was halfway through OCIA. So she received baptism, first communion, and confirmation.

    Thank you, St Monica, and all of you prayer warriors!

  40. I received a favour I have been praying for, for quite sometime now during this novena to St Monica, the favour of regularising my family’s work permit. Her intercession was speedy. Glory be to God and honour to Our Mother Mary. Amen

  41. My brother in law fell and suffered multiple trauma during the novena. Miraculously, he is ahead of schedule recovering and may go home just a week after the accident.
    Also a lot of family secrets came up and I know St. Monica can heal intercede for those troubles as well.

  42. My husband’s viral load numbers, which were very concerning for months, have come down. Making it less likely he’ll have to have a long-term hospitalization.

  43. I would like to thank God for my friend’s healing. He had a stroke last year, and has vision and memory problems. I’ve seen the vision get better and his memory has increased. God is good and God is able to carry you through.
    I am asking prayer for my Mother. She has had lower back pains since Sunday. I’m rubbing her with Voltaren and she’s using Lidocaine patches. It still hurts but not as bad. Thank God for that. Amen.

  44. Thanks be to God, I do not need spinal surgery or an injection at this time! I am grateful to St. Monica for her intercession. Thank you to all for your prayers! May God bless you!

  45. Thank you Saint Monica my son Glen entered a Recovery facility for substance abuse on Sunday August 23rd. I ask that the Holy Spirit to touch his mind and heart and that he will raise his praises to our Heavenly Father. I give praise because he’s there and is getting help. Thank you Saint Monica

  46. I have prayed for years that my son would come back to our faith and get confirmed (he didn’t receive when he was in his teens because of turmoil at that time). After speaking to our pastor he went to the classes and received confirmation just a couple of weeks ago. I could often relate to St. Monica in her consistency of prayer and the fact that my son was born on the feast of St. Augustine tomorrow, August 28.

  47. I had been a prayed for a car through St. Monica’s novena, yesterday I received a emailed from the dealer I got approved for the car loan I can come in and sign all the paperwork’s.
    I got a 2024 4 door KIA.

    Through the intercession of St. Monica pray for us.
    Thank you Jesus.

  48. There is more peace in my home and I pray that this continues forever so that we can live in peace and harmony together as a family.
    Improvement in health and better state of mind .
    Thank you St.Monica for your powerful intercession in our lives .Pls do continue to pray for all our intentions .

  49. I prayed that my husband’s catheter would be removed after having it in for four months. Thankfully, it was removed yesterday. I am a firm believer in prayer and these Novenas. Thank you for all for your continued prayers.

  50. My hip surgery went well. Now after 12 appointment of therapy, I was released and I am doing well. Thank you Jesus 🙏🙏🙏

  51. My son is praying now but still has a way to go to get to know our Lord God . I pray that he will feel the presence of God around him and grow stronger in faith everyday.. God bless us all.❤️

  52. We all know everything is in God’s time. I have been working with a co-worker that has difficulties being a team player. He chose to not speak to me for more than 8 months and last Friday a few of the office staff went out to dinner for a birthday celebration. My co-worker that was not speaking to me waived at me at the beginning of the evening and at the end of the night he gave me a hug. This was a blessing because it has been very difficult for me emotionally to come to work and have a co worker not speak to me. I did not ask for this prayer during this novena, even though I have been praying in the past for God to humble his heart. Thank you Santa Monica for interceding for me in Jesus name…Maria S.

  53. This has been a wonderful time to be doing this novena. I’m having work done on the floors in my home and my Grandson has come from out of town to help me a couple of times. He lived with me for a couple of years, until through much prayer, I was able to convince him to go to rehab and take care of his addiction to alcohol. He’s been doing very well for almost 3 years now and he’s been getting closer to Jesus. When he’s here we sometimes talk about God and Mary. I told him about St. Monica and Augustine. The point is that the other day he asked me to get him some information about Baptism!! I’ve been praying for that for so long and I know that St. Monica has helped me in my prayers! Sorry this is so long, but I am elated and needed to share this with you. Blessing for all that you do.

  54. Peace be with you. I was going through a lot yesterday. A workmate was saying I had not given her her money for a stokvel when I had actually given her. I prayed for a sign or just for me to get the proof that I needed and today I got it. I showed it to her and everything was sorted. She was not apologetic at all but I am just happy that I exonerated myself.
    Thank you for your prayers. Be blessed.

  55. Our son TJ has shown interest in the faith and is reading the Bible. Thank You Jesus, St. Monica and all who are praying this Novena with us. 🙏🏻
