    We live in a senior living center and I pray whole bunches (birth defects and nothing can be done along without having the ability to take pain beds- deadly allergic to all of ’em), In praying I can only think of the person I’m praying for. ( does help me a tolerable bit) St. Therese is my most favorite saint and along with Mary and my Mom I pray to and with them. There were 3 residents here in harms way. I learned to love them so Iprayed hours each day for them along with all of my “regulars” (80+). One lady was in the hospital for a “stent”/stint? While on the table she had a heart attack,fone call later- pray more! That was on a Thursday and she came home Saturday!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!

  40. After saying St, Therese Novena and asking her for two requests (1)the healing of my Grandson from Drug Addiction and (2) for my son who was searching for a relationship after a divorce some time ago !
    Both requests St, Therese answered. My Grandson stuck with his Detox program and will finish his 8th week sober this week ; and my son has met a lady who is a Professional like him that he has been dating for some time and they are now talking about a life together !! Thank you St Therese, praise God.

  41. My husband who has been working night shift has been offered a day shift position. This makes such a huge difference since we have two small children. We’ve prayed so hard for this.

  42. Just yesterday, I received a call from my sister whose husband had passed on just an hour prior to her call. She is in a senior complex and I have not been able to see her. She was with him and they are of another faith. Her minister was there and praying with her as he passed. Their son who has been estranged, now has been reunited with the family and spent many hours with his father. During this Novena and for many years, I have prayed for this. He died peacefully and goes to join his two sons. What a blessing for our entire family.

  43. After a very challenging time on unemployment, I was offered a job with a wonderful funeral home. I feel so blessed and thankful!! I now clearly see the journey God had placed before me to get to this point…oh ye of little faith! Please continue to pray that I will perform well in this new role and most importantly that I will honor the passing of a loved one and being there for the grieving. Thank you!! Amen!!!

  44. I’ve been healed of a health challenge I’ve had for a few years now. I started praying all the novenas with you in June the first being the Sacred Heart of Jesus novena.

  77. During the course of the novena we received a pre-arranged visit from a daughter who over the past decade has had numerous problems, mental, addiction et cetera and she has been finding it extremely difficult to resume any kind of normal life, especially since she was in a relationship with someone inappropriate and who was trying to control her .During her visit marvellous thing happened; she was able to arrange to rent a room in our town, With firmness, but with tenderness she broke off the inappropriate relationship. She started to apply for care jobs. Like the prodigal of old she said sorry and is working extremely hard to find her feet. She attended Mass with me .Thanks to St,Therese and all the saints to whom we played novenas ,as well as the Saints we pray to daily such as St Jude and St.Anthony of Padua.
