Thank you for joining us in praying to St. Philomena, the wonder worker! If you experienced any answered prayers during this novena, please share them with us below! We must praise God, and give Him all the glory, for all the good things He is doing in our lives.
Now, if you have had some prayers go seemingly unanswered (you’re not alone), and you’ve been asking yourself, “Should I just stop praying?” — here’s a post I wrote that may be able to help:
Thank you for joining us in prayer!
Please pray for a new job for myself where I can be at peace and serve the poverty stricken children well. Thank you.
In thanksgiving for a healthy baby
I started the prayer last week on Sunday and made my request that l may get a better paying job with a good working environment, on Monday l received a call from an international company that they came across my cv in one website and would like to invite me for an interview on Wednesday. The interview was very good and l am expecting a call from them to meet with their Director as on the interview day he was not around. Am still prayerfully and have faith that they will call me up to meet with the Director and sign my contract with them.
Praise be to God

This was my second Novela with all of you and my prayers were awnser after between Novelas my son found a fulltime job. God is good and have wonderful guardian looking over us. God blessed.
I have been praying your novena’s for the last two years. My prayers have been answered today. Thank you and God Bless. I will continue praying with you. Thanks for including me.
I have been praying for an elderly family member who recently fell and was hospitalized. She is home now and is strong enough to get herself to and from the restroom on her own, with minimal supervision, which relieves her family of constantly having to attend to her. It is a big help to extend her “independence” a little longer.
Please pray for my god child, Sr Mary Therese and the other sisters in her community, that they will be able to spread the Good News to all the young people. Amen
Please pray for me.my results are almost out and i knw nothing can change now but i shall keep praying.st philomena interceed for me please
Please pray for my second daughter to find a good life partner, and to lead a good and pious life.
Help her to see the light of the Holy Spirit and guide her to the right path.
Help her also to do well in her job and protect her at all times from the snares of the evil one.
Please pray for us all to have peace and happiness in our small family
Lord,
we thank you for the most pleasant people you send to us in forms of mate. As I approach the last prayer, I marvel how a young child could have the faith that moves mountains. Her Parents had to have been Gems! They say all the right things in time of celebration and grief. They are a refreshment to have around no wonder it is a wonder they marry and are seen face to face with mates mirroring Both Parents!
loved this session and looking forward to the next.
For my daughtet so she finds a great man and for my grandson he has a great year and his left thumb heals for this i pray amen
Dear brethrens
Am grateful that finally my sister can sleep comfortably. I had initially requested you intercede that God helps her as she had undergone some psychological torture with her 6 month son. Am also grateful that God granted my other sister a job today after she passed her interview after countless struggles. Finally kindly pray with me that Our Lord gives me a job. He has been faithful in our lives n believes that he will soon open for me a door.
Please pray that I may find a suitable job very soon. Please help to relieve the burden of worry and concern from my family
Thanks God listening to my prayer that my son is able to go back his school. May God continue to help my son looking up to see His love and light, relying on Him for his whole life.
I asked asked Saint Philomena to give me strength, courage and to put the words in me to speak to a brother that has a conflicting matter about abortion. And it happened just as I asked.
Also I am 65 years old and have only been on my journey with the Lord 6 years. I thought to be a good father was to put bread on the table and that was it. Sadly I didn’t show my son and daughter a spritual path, I failed them miserably. This morning after my Rosary, I was lamenting over it again. Later As I sat down in my garage to read my novena, I saw on the floor, two feet from me, a paper with a poem by Diane Loomans titled “if I had my child to raise over again”
That paper has my daughters name on it with a hand outline like they do in kindergarten. It must be 35 years old and we have only been in this house 18.
GOD’S HAND !!
I don’t know anything about her but I know God feels my sorrow.
My son was accepted into a sober living house passing the drug test after living homeless on the street the last 3 weeks. He has been to 7 programs (only completing one) and has to commit to staying 3 months so prayers are need that he will continue to stay clean and heal his body, mind and soul. Thank you for your continued prayers. God is good and merciful.
I prayed for a good job at the beginning of this novena and i received my first call from an interested recruiter today. I believe God will bring to perfect fulfillment what He has started to do in my life. Open doors await you and I.
Good morning, I would just like to share that prayers are answered. God does talk to us…gives us signs. I entered this Novena group because I was so distressed that my youngest son seems to be turning away from the church. On Day 5 of the Novena of St. Philomena we were asked to offer prayer for all children who have fallen away from the faith. I felt like God sent that to me. It brought me to tears…but intensified my faith that He is watching and hears our pleas. Thank you Holy Spirit. St. Philomena pray for us.
My dear friend’s husband has prostate cancer. I prayed that the cancer has not spread outside the prostate which has been removed. The pathology report shows the cancer was encapsulated in the prostate gland only. They will go for radiation to be safe. Prayers work miracles!! Thanks you. I am no grateful for all your Novenas!!
In Thanksgiving to God, my daughter, Christin, is doing so much better. She still has a life-long struggle ahead of her but through the prayers of so many people, I want to express my thanks and ask for your continued thoughts and prayers for her.
I think I mentioned my friend Doug had a massive stroke. He was in a coma and then in locked in syndrome. He is still pretty bad but this morning he had his eyes open and was able to respond to a question by blinking his eyes! ❤ God’s will be done and we are so thankful for everything!
God is so GREAT in His mercy!! A dear friend’s sister has (had) localized renal cell ca of the kidney & stayed remission free until this year. Now it’s St IV (isolated bone metastasis). After surgery & mega XRT and of course, many prayers by all, she is cancer free after testing this past week.
Can’t say it enough – God is so GREAT in His mercy!
“How can I repay the Lord for His goodness to me, I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the Lord’s Name.” Ps 116. I prayed in this novena to St Philomena for God’s help with my pregnancy scan today as the last scan signalled potential issues with a natural delivery. The results of the scan today were all great and all the potential issues with a natural delivery completely cancelled. The consultant was so delighted, I testified to God’s help and the c-section that had been tentatively planned was cancelled. Glory to God on High! Thank you dear St Philomena. Thank you dear God!
My son after about 25 years will thinking of going back to church, we can lead them when they are small; but when they are grown they have a mind of their own. I do keep praying though because prayers are answered every day.
My husband received a new position at work that may lead to more possibilities & that will be physically easier for him.
I have been joining on a series of novena sent through this medium. During the novena of Saint Anne, i prayed for God’s willed life partner. It happened like magic, on the 8th day of Saint Anne’s novena, i met my husband in a way i least expected all my life.
I can’t stop thanking God and this powerful saint Anne, am a witness to her miracle.
God bless the initiator and motivator of this medium.
Thank you for prayers answerd.
I prayed that I would abandon my futile ways of thinking about a particular request of many years. I realized a shift in my thinking on Saturday (day 7 of this novena). Yesterday, I was blessed with a new way to perceive this long-standing unanswered request, and have experienced greater peace and freedom as a result. Thanks be to God!
????Answered prayers: I recently joined a Recovery group in order to let go of old hurts, & this is leading to some lasting friendships, something I very much need right now; conversions to the Catholic Faith, I am learning, start with healing from (fill in the blank), & I’m grateful to see the process happening in other’s lives????As one of our priests recently told me, life is a tapestry-we see the back of it, with the threads crisscrossing(situations in our lives), & knots(troubles) all over the place, but ❤God❤ sees the whole beautiful picture of the tapestry from the front…so we trust Him with our whole life, everyone else’s lives, each situation, & we look to Him for guidance through it all. Amen☺
Nephew, Cameron, went through training and will begin his job on Tuesday. I pray that he continue to be successful in his work. I pray for all who supported us in our prayers.
Thank you St. Philomena and all who have been praying for my brother. Please continue to pray that the hearts are softened of those who will make decisions regarding his future — his court date is Wednesday, August 12. I know the Lord is working on his behalf as requested by St. Philomena and the prayers of all those who read this. Please pray for his quick return so he can continue his spiritual and personal growth through his work of serving those who are less fortunate than others.
Nikki and baby

I am praying for a long time for things to change in my family. My husband is ill and I am having a hard time with him. My two sons are without employment for a long time. They are not married. I pray a lot. Nothing good is happening. I feel sad and I don,t know why God doesn’t answer my prayers.

This is a time of discernment for me and as each situation moves forward I am assisted by the Holy Spirit and this novena has blessed me with peace and confidence and a deepened sense of trust in the Lord. I pray for all of you and ask for a special blessing for John-Paul and Annie.

My prayers to give my granddaughter strength against her abusive father is starting to be answered. She showed strength against his abuse a few days ago, and is beginning to stand up for herself at her tender age of 9. I continue to pray for her, as well as her 5 year old sister, and their mother to have the strength they need.
This is a time of discernment for me and as each situation moves forward I am assisted by the Holy Spirit and this novena has blessed me with peace and confidence and a deepened sense of trust in the Lord. I pray for all of you and ask for a special blessing for John-Paul and Annie.
If there is abuse authorities need to be called immediately.
I wish someone had called for me when I was 9.

Over those three years my mom has been so closed off to me serving in the Church and not wanting me to be involved evangelization.

During the St. Philomena novena you asked us to state our intention, but yet at the beginning of each day you told us what to pray for. My intention was the same each day. I was confused if I was to state an intention to match your suggestion each day or if I could ask St. Philomena, the wonder worker, my own intention, the same each day. I use St. Philomena for prayers a lot but am confused by this novena and the intentions you stated each day.

Away from the church for 44 years! Please continue to intercede
For us as Nothing is impossible with God! ????
The St. Philomena novena started on the day my husband and I had to go to find out if his cancer had spread to lymph nodes. I am very close to Jesus. And I felt closeness to st. Philomena but never made a novena to Her. I said the first prayer and begged for help with my husbands test results. That afternoon we were shocked hearing the surgeon say there was no spread and he didn’t need chemo. Words can’t express my awakening to the power of Jesus and his saints!! St. Philomena listens!
