I bless God for this wonderful organization. I have 3 suitors and have been praying that God should reveal to me who is his choice for me to marry. One of the suitors asked for my hand in marriage but I didn’t repond until I finished my novenas. After then God gave me an idea to ask for his GENOTYPE. Low and behold we have a contradicting GENOTYPE. All glory to God

We have been having some financial challenges during this downturned economy. I’ve had to work more hours to help meet financial obligations in a very stressed profession (medical care). It has placed a strain on our marriage & family. This week my husband acknowledged my contribution to assist the family & has been offering to do more (atypical) and has demonstrated understanding and compassion for my stress. He prayed with and for me, offering me spiritual comfort & relief. Thank you God for your many blessings and the grace necessary to endure in faith.

My family is so fractured that it will take many years of prayer to bring about healing, but I gratefully do see a glimmer of hope with one member after praying this novena. Thank you
My friends and I have been praying for a friend of mine who had recently been baptized into the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We’ve been praying that he may draw nearer to God, and has been looking for a solid denomination for a while. Recently he has been going to mass with us and is starting RCIA next Tuesday, even though he is technically Mormon. Not sure what God’s plan is, but thank you, holy Mother, that he is continuing to search for Truth wherever it may be. May he grow ever closer to your Son!

Thank you Blessed Mother for today my passport was held for stamping israel visa, as this only option was left for me to support my family. And for 30.yrs I use to chew tobacco, for which my wife n son was not at all happy. I promised my mother mary during the 9.days novena that i will quit this chewing habit. For which I quit on 8th September and on 11th september i recvd my passport and now on 15th I am going to Israel. Pray the lord Jesus Christ keep us in his care forever.
I have no words to express, only I was thinking. Why should we ask everything from mother, why cant we sacrifice and give our Blessed mother for our better mind.
Love you Mother & we need your blessings always upon us.
Thank you Mama Mary finally tomorrow will be the first working day of Therese. Please I want to ask guidance of the Holy Spirit to be with her always and my other children.
For me this was an answered prayer for all the rails we’ve gone through. Amen

I prayed for a rebuilding of our marriage . My husband is more loving and do not hurt me. I am also able to forgive and move on
My husband and I have struggled through my son’s addiction and other family problems… yet when I read the novena’s my heart is open to continue with our marriage and give my all, through God’s grace and strength. I couldn’t do it without Him (and reading the beautiful words of the novenas!).
Thank God, Our Mother in Heaven along with St. Joseph and St. Jude that we have a contract on our house . We’ve had two previous ones But I know it in my heart that this is the one. We have had the house on the market for over two years. Continuing to pray so that we close as planned and able to buy a home closer to my husband’s job.
Two weeks ago, I lost my job unexpectedly and I was jobless for two week. What a boring life!! Immediately I finished this novena, a friend told me to apply to another Co. and start work immediately as the HR works on the contract. I will start official next week. I am grateful to God for inspiring John-Paul & Ann for spreading this word of God through this novena. May God bless you and this ministry.
Thank you Blessed Mother for answering my pray for employment for my daughter and her husband who were both unemployed for more than a year. Thank you Jesus for your mercy. They can now take care of their four smart boys without totally depending on relatives.
I have been friendly with a widowed man for a couple of years since his wife died. We have a friendship which I hope may develop but only when he is ready. I hadn’t heard from him for a few weeks due to a misunderstanding! I was nervous to contact him in case he completely rejected me but I decided to text him on Monday anyway. I received a lovely reply! Still only friends, but at least the friendship has been restored! Thank you God, and I am truly sorry about the doubts I’ve had about my faith. God is good!
I prayed the novena for my grandson who was born at 32 weeks. He came home Monday evening! He’s still not out of the woods but God is good!
I’m thanking God and our Blessed Mother Mary for all my past Blessings. Iknow soon, what I praying for now will soon be given to me through my faith, it has never let me down yet.
I started praying these Novenas in the early summer when my dad fell ill with cancer. For this marriage and family novena I continued to pray for both my parents health, but also for my cousin and her husband to conceive after the loss of a pregnancy. They are pregnant again and her pregnancy is going very well! I’m so happy they will get to experience the joy of parenthood!
I worked in Cincinnati, Ohio away from my family at Fort Worth, Texas. The cost of a round trip ticket is high ($500). I can only afford to visit home one weekend a month. I bought flight tickets for labor day, thanksgiving and Christmas in advance.
I got layoff at 12:00pm 0n August 15. I took the layoff with a smile that the HR were restless. I went to a corner say my rosary, at 3:00pm, GOT A JOB OFFER AND A START DAY CLOSE TO HOME. I don’t have to fly home, pays more that my laid off job and better employer/employees. Don’t care about the flight tickets.
I showed my offer letter to all the employees at my previous job and they witness the power of PRAYERS and Novena.
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIMES AND GOD’S TIME IS THE BEST.
After praying this novena to mother Mary I got a call back for a job at our hospital. The first interview went great now praying for a second interview.
I did the novenas to St. Jude and St Joachim and St. Ann for my daughter to meet a suitable person as a husband and through their intercession my prayers have been answered.

I received a job offer after over a year of searching. The job is a perfect fit and with a highly desirable company cited among the best places to work. Undergirded by lots of prayer, even the Legion of Mary was praying for this one! I received the offer on Marys birthday one day after bringing the Fatima pilgrim statue into my home and an hour before our birthday party for Mary which I was hosting. I see Mary and Gods hands all over this! Thank you Lord!!!

Thank you God for the prayers answered. During this Novena I was praying for a certain project of mine to be approved and today I received the approval from the company.
I prayed the Novena for God to bless our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration and that many would be blessed. We had 90 people in our backyard (we had hoped for 50). The weather was perfect, the food was plentiful & delicious and God gave my cousin, Catholic Deacon Bob, the perfect words when we renewed our vows.
On our Blessed Mother’s Birthday we got confirmation that our little growing baby is in fact growing! We saw the little beating heart, which was the confirmation we were looking for that all was and will be well. We hadn’t told our two young daughters so we broke the news to them when we explained what they were seeing on the ultrasound screen. They are so thrilled! They had been praying for a baby for months and my oldest, 5, said, “Mommy Jesus answered my prayer. He told his mother that we needed a baby and Mary but the baby in your belly today on her birthday as a gift to us! I am so happy! Thank you!”
Our family received an approval notice from the agency that’s been working with us for a couple of years now to help us save and keep our home.

More miracles are on the way…this we believe !
I want to sincerely Thank God from the bottom of my heart for always exposing the people destroying our marriage to me. He did again this time by exposing it through a bank letter. There is nothing as good as knowing your enemy. Amen.

Lizzy.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Our Blessed Mother for the many blessings she has shower on me and my family. There is peace, love and forgiveness among us. We are able to interact better. Mother thank you. I love you and always will.
My pastor and I spoke privately and it did not go well.
I spoke to his superior and that did go well.
My prayer has been for my pastor to be gentle with me, his community and all the parishioners. I am still praying that when he returns today from meeting with his superior, his heart will be healed and he will be a gentle pastor our community and his parishioners. I also pray my pastor allow me to enter the lay associate community when I finish formation in 2 month, if it is God’s Holy Will. I really want peace in our community.
With grateful heart I wish to thank our Lord Jesus Christ and our Mother Mary for special birthday gift I received from them. I participated in the novena as usual and on the feast of our Mother’s birthday, I received some favours I have been believing God for.
Our rent has been due since end of April 2014 but since me and my husband are out of work w have not been able to pay. On that feast of our Mother, God brought someone that gave us a friendly loan to pay our rent, its really marvel in our sight.
Also Purchase Order for a contract my office have been following since the past one year was also released to us.
Generally these your novenas have been so helpful to me in my family and I pray that God will bless and strengthen you people. I am really so thankful to God, may His name be praised forever and that our Mother Mary be honoured forever.
I was praying for a friend who was in a coma and not expected to make it. Towards the end of the novena she woke up and gave us a thumbs up.
May the name of The Lord be praised now and forever. Amen. Through this novena and all the others we have been doing, God has blessed is with increased business opportunities. It now seems like as soon as one transaction is closing another one follows. Thank you Jesus. Our mother Mary is a great intercession.
God is good.
Thank you Lord for bringing me to the path of healing on my marriage experience over the past 30 years.

Pregnant after many months of trying and praying.
My hub and I were not in good terms but after novena prayers we are now talking and I prayed for my son whom we failed to send back to school to finish his degree programme now trying to open his small business. I believe God is opening the doors for him. Praise be to God!
I have been praying that my son finds a job in the field he is interested in and he just called and told me that someone is willing to take a chance on him. All he has to do now is prove himself. Thank you Jesus for this blessing and your favor.
In Jesus’s name I pray.

God is good.
Thank you for your prayers, our beloved Glynn is making a miraculous recovery from a life threatening illness that struck him the day we began this Novena.
Thank you for this novena for family and marriage. I thank God for prayers heard & answered and for watching over our family. I prayed that our family and many others dealing with difficult situations would become stronger, closer, and more supportive of each other. I am currently dealing with a difficult personal situation and really needed my husband to take time out of his schedule to be supportive of me. He did so and it has been truly a blessing to me in the past few days. I thank God for my wonderful family!
This novena couldn’t come at a better time. My family was stressed due to my son’s transition to a new school…we were having a rough time, all of us. I could feel the healing as the novena progressed, and we are now in a really good place with our transition! Thank you Lord!
Thank you for the novena prayers:
By the time I started praying novena for marriage, I was not on good terms with my husband, he had completely ceased communication and all financial support. Now we are happy again.
My son passed his exams and my daughter is getting closer to me and softening, also taking a step in her education.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen
I have prayed every one of your Novenas for my daughter Elizabeth who has been fighting cancer for four years. After finishing up Radiation 3 weeks ago she had a scan and they found no cancer.
Praise God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, The Virgin Mother, St. Anthony, St Padre Pio and St. Jude and all who shared in this Novena.
Jesus, I Trust In You.
During the novena, the following was revealed, and great peace is now overshadowing my anguish:
“I have held your aborted granddaughter close to my Immaculate Heart for the last eighteen years. My son kept this hidden because you would have reacted in anger and unforgiveness. Yes, your pain is great, but as you forgive, blessing your daughter with words of mercy and words of love, healing grace will abound. Pray, pray, pray for those carrying this grievous wound. Love, your Mother”
Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit through the intersession of Our Blessed Mother Mary my mummy is out of the hospital and back home. Thank you for the telephone interview you have set for me today. Almost a year ago had given up applying for a better job because nothing was happening whenever I applied. Out of no where I have received this call for an telephone interview. I trust and believe it’s you my Lord and Savior who have a plan for me. You and only you know what is best for me. I love you Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Thank you my dear Mother Mary for alway leading me to your Son, you will be there at the time set for me today at 2pm. Praise and Thank you.
After 5 long months and 7 different health facilities, my mom is finally settled and happy in assisted living. She broke her hip at Easter, had surgery and complications and it is a miracle of prayer that she is smiling and laughing. Mother Mary is so good and I am thankful that I have 2 loving and living mothers!
I know God has answered my prayers .
I do not have eyesight testmonies but Iknow there will be visible signs coming to-morrow ,one month or a year. Thak you Lord
my family was going through hard financial times and i thank God that my husband has gotten a job after a year of searching. To top it all, i had given up in searching for a job too but i am more than greatful that the Lord heard my cry and opened a door for me when it seemed so dark and impossible. Thank you virgin mary, all the saints and patrons. Indeed, God is a miracle working God.
I began praying this novena with the intentions of considering engagement. Shortly after day 8, an engagement was proposed. The moment was so full of God’s comfort and peace that I knew it was the answer to my prayer.
My husband has attended mass with me the past two Sundays, it’s a beginning, a great beginning. My daughter is less verbally abusive with me. She seems to be getting closer to her 10 yr. old daughter, please continue to intereceed for her and her small family, she soon turn back to God and your son our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you my sweet and lovely mother.
My daughter was being investigated for a very aggressive form of breast cancer. Her appointment with the surgeon this week showed no signs of breast cancer at all. Praise God. Thank you for these novenas. It really brings us closer to the healing power of our Lord.
After fighting for 6 months with our insurance company to cover our daughters eating disorder treatment, and being told numerous times it would not be covered, we received word they would cover it. She can now enter treatment after struggling for 3 years.
I have been looking for job for quite some time .I prayed that someone call me for an interview. And yes I got it thank you Lord. And I also pray for my brother who is separated with his wife, now things are getting better.
I have been doing the Novenas for a short while. But I see them working already. My marriage is getting better. My sister’s intentions are being answered. My brother’s intentions are slow but surely being answered. I definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am hopeful. Keep the Novenas coming. God bless you. May He who know of the end from the beginning be your ever present help Amen.
I want to say THANK U VERY MUCH for this NOVENA PRAYER. WHILE PRAYING this PRAYER for only a few DAYS MY DAUGHTER GOT ENGAGE and IS GETTING MARRIED NEXT YEAR 2015. Prayers are STRONGER than anything you just have to BELIEVE IN GOD. HE is NOT ON A TIME CLOCK…
After soon to be 30 years married, my husband walked out, his head turned by another woman, and hasn’t spoken to me the greater part of this time, ceasing not only communication but all financial support. Consequently, petition to divorce has been filed.
After beginning this novena, we had 4 good face-to-face conversations over a week’s time. It is my further prayer that this communication be fruitful, reconciliation attainable, and divorce stopped.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Well I did not necessarily tie this to the novena as I have been praying for seven years for my daughter to be healed but I do believe that each act of prayer together does add up so I believe I can attribute this novena to the other prayers I have been praying for my daughter. She is a young adult with Crohn’s Disease and for seven years she has been ill and on Remicade, an infusion which treats the disease but has many side effects including lowering the immune system. It is also costly. This week her physician has determined that since she has been doing so well this year she is now in remission and no longer needs the medication! I believe that the Lord has healed her and she will not need this medication again. Thank you Jesus!
We prayed the novena to St. Joachim and St. Anne for my daughter and son – in – law to get pregnant. They did! The baby is due May 6th. God is good!
Thank you to our Blessed mother and for this novena. My husband and I continue to become closer than ever and are both feeling much better. He is diagnosed with a rare disorder that has no treatment but he is recovering thanks to prayer. I am recovering from leukemia after being told that I only had a 30% survival rate. But the most important answered prayer is that my son seems more open to return to his faith!
My friend’s daughter was going through a very difficult first pregnancy. The doctors were very concerned about the baby and mother’s health. I prayed this novena for her. On September 4th she delivered a healthy baby girl. Mother and baby are fine. Praise God!
