If you have had any prayers answered during this novena, please share those with us all below!
To God be the glory!
I have been praying this Novena to St Maria Goretti asking for help for one thing when my child went on vacation to Florida last Thursday. I got a call on Monday he had lost his wallet. I had already prayed my Novena that day and St Anthony’s prayer popped in my head. They back tracked, called everywhere they had been, no luck. Next morning I prayed to St Maria Goretti along with St Anthony. Praise the Lord a women called his bank and they called him. Not one thing was missing when he met her! Not only are there still good people in this world but our Saints hear our prayers. I will never stop praying!!
Dear St. Maria Goretti:
I Pray for your intercession, for the following intentions:
Firstly, I Pray that the results of my biopsy will be
negative for cancer and also negative for pre cancer.
Secondly, that my anxiety and insomnia anxiety ,
especially in relation to the weather forecasts, will
be alleviated for good, showing me and guiding me
to trust wholly in God, who alone can grant me a
peaceful, loving and tranquil life. In regard to this
fear, that I will get an answer resulting in peace, to
know that the day trip down South is the right thing
to do for me.
Thirdly, I Pray for my relationship to improve with my
husband, and to strengthen my marriage.
I also Pray that my Daughter returns to the Catholic
Church, bringing our daughters for Baptism.
I also Pray that my Son chooses the right career path
to make him happy and live a rewarding life with
his girlfriend, hopefully soon to be wife.
I Pray too, for all my friends and family who are
sick, in pain or suffering in any way.
I Pray that my Brother-in-Law, K.D. Finds a job soon,
that makes him happy.
Finally, I Pray for a major decrease in global
terrorism, and eventually to have World Peace.
For your intercession for all these intentions, Loving
St. Maria, I fervently Pray.
Amen.
Thank you Saint Goretti for healing and allowing Darryl’s ginger and white cat to get the attention from my vet on Monday. Thank you once again that he is healed and would continue to be healed. In Jesus’ name. Amen
I am praying for Ruth Ann Taratino’s Father, which is 90 years old and in the hospital for Pneumonia. He is a wonderful Man and Father.
Thank you!!! God has blessed you!
My husband’s biopsy came back negative. Thank you St. Maria and Heavenly Father especially!!
I have prayed every Novena for someone else. This one, I prayed for myself as I struggled with a large project at work. The overwhelmed feelings I was experiencing have vanished, and the project is on the right track.
This prayer is just right for my daughter, too. Thank You
Mighty lord I pray for strength, for favor and for traveling mercies. Amen.
This prayer is a prayer that I take very seriously. Even though, I do have a penchant for beautiful women. Women were created to be man’s partner for life, and, be treated with respect, because women are human beings, too. I take them seriously, and, because of the time I spent to understand the graciousness of Our Lady, the Virgin Mary. Once I was captivated by the statue of Our Lady, hold the body of her lifeless son, Jesus Christ, I was totally brought to my knees because of what I learned after years of Christ’s, suffering, and, to understand St. Maria’s, life. I, too have four sisters. They’re all respected. I keep t myself no matter how differences we have in our lives. Life changes constantly. I keep praying and, hoping days ahead will go smoothly.
My relationship with Melvin has become stronger and deeper with love and understanding.
My daughter Emily’s move to Michigan has been positive for her and has found a teaching position she is excited about and where she can share her gifts of literature and writing with young junior high students.
Please pray for my daughter who is suffering from bi-polar and in the midst of an episode. She is refusing to take medicine or get help. Please pray for her and for us.
I want to thank God for answering my prayers for a baby after so many years of waiting through this novena! I also want to thank him for the approval of my scholarship and for taking away from me, an unforgivable spirit towards those who hurt me. May God’s name be praised now and forever in Jesus name, Amen!!!
My father has suffered some medical setbacks and has not been accepting of the care he needs. God flooded my heart with consolation during this novena, and my father willingly did all I asked of him. Thanks be to God!
Last week, I prayed and ask St. Maria Goretti for peace for my brother as he attends his daughter’s celebration and God answered. Father I thank you. Thank you Jesus!
St Maria Goretti may you please intercede with the Saint of work Saint Joseph to please help my son inlaw to be to be recommended in a job that he has went for a final interview .My daughter is experiencing a huge amount of Bill for the hospital as she is expecting a baby please help the father with work we ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
Prayers to all who find themselves feeling powerless. Prayers to all who are put into situations where they think they have to obey and stay with someone because it is “best”. Pray for strength for anyone who could use it to help themselves and others.
I pray for my sisters marriage and my brothers emotional well being. I pray for my marriage and my relationship with my daughters as well. In Jesus name, AMEN!
Thank you, Lord! I had prayed for three friends who had cancer, and two of them had surgeries that completely removed their cancer, and the other found out that the lumps on her breast were non-cancerous (after previously having breast cancer). Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers! God is good!
Job for granddaughter. Safe travels for family.
Last week I ask God to use me for His service. Two days later a woman who I will name D reached out to me from the Philippines in need of prayer. Was convinced she was going to jail for theft. I prayed this Novena and the Sacred Heart Novena for her. I asked her to go to confession and to see a priest for counselling because she was thinking of suicide. She went to confession that day and started to calm down. I reassured her God will not forsake her. Every opportunity I had I prayed. She went to jail last Friday and her sister contacted me to advise she is going to court Monday. I prayed the Novena for her and asked in Jesus to intervene. Monday she was free from Jail. God answered my prayers by sending me someone that needed prayer and compassion and God helped this woman walk free from jail during this Novena which I prayed everyday with The Sacred Heart Novena and the help of St Jude. Praise be to You Lord Jesus Christ for the power of prayer. Amen.????
I went for my physical and I am in perfect health. My heart is healthy! Thank God! Thank you St. Maria, my little Patron Saint.
Dear Lord I pray for healing for my family . I pray for family peace and world peace . I ask this through Christ our Lord Amen.
I have to share with you this little miracle that happened yesterday. So it is not an answer to a novena yet, but it truly was beautiful. As I was praying it in my bedroom, all of a sudden I smelled this very strong scent of roses surround me. It was right after I shared my intentions. And I felt for this little girl, St Maria Goretti. I was looking for the source of the perfumey rose fragrance as it didn’t make sense but it truly was a fragrant strong Rose sent. I later came to find out that when praying Novenas that a rose can present itself to you and in odd ways. It is also a blessing from our Blessed mother. This brought me to tears and truly humbled me.
My breathing is so much better after my treatment this morning…. Thank you and everyone who prayed for me… May God bless all of you…
In Thanksgiving for the intercession of St Maria Goretti. I have been praying for my daughter-in-law (and son) to be able to conceive and on the 8th day of the Novena, July 4, 2017, I learned that I am going to be a grandmother. My daughter-in-law and son are expecting a baby!
I too was sexually assaulted when I was a little girl by an older girl and when I was a young teenager by my so called friends brothers at that time. And when I was a teen while growing up it is a perverted world put there. I know it is still perverted world but i don’t see it now. I am constantly worried about my children and grandchildren and my great grandchild. I try not to worry but i can’t help. Today i don’t trust and think wrong about people especially when they are near my grandchildren. I don’t know who to trust. I only trust in Jesus! I tried to put it in my shoes in how I feel about people how wrongfully accusing i am in my thoughts. what if people do not trust me? Saint Maria Goretti please for me and protect my children and grandchildren.
Jesus is with us in and through everything. St. Maria Goretti and St. Joseph, please protect the dignity, purity and innocence of all.
Please pray for my son that is suffering from mental illness. Protect him from all evil. Give him the courage, strength, guidance and wisdom to continue with his job and that he can be accepted in school and can continue with all that he want to do with his life. Let him be at peace. That he can be treated with the right medication and can his doctor do the best he can for him. In Jesus Name I pray.

I was scheduled at 38 weeks of my pregnancy to have a procedure to manually turn my breeched baby. I was very anxious and nervous to have this done and added this intention to the Novena that the baby would flip on his/her own. On the day of the procedure, I was at the hospital getting ready for the doctor to perform when she checked the baby on a sonogram and lo and behold the baby had flipped on his/her own without the use of the procedure. I’m thankful to God, St. Maria Goretti, and all of my prayer warriors that helped my baby flip in the correct position for birth in a few weeks.
Thank you blessed Saint Maria for my daughter’s success at her exams, may she continue to be surrounded and covered by God’s love and protection as she enters a new stage in life.
