Thank you for joining us in praying the St. Monica Novena!
If you experienced any answered prayers throughout this novena, please share those with us all below!
And if you’re struggling with your unanswered prayers, you’re not alone. Here’s a post I wrote that I hope can help:
God has not forgotten you. He hears your prayers. Please continue to have hope that He has a loving plan for you. And please continue to remember to persist in your prayers, as St. Monica did for 15 years.
We hope that God will continue to bless you and be with you in your every need.
Our prayers were answered on the 3rd day of the Novena. Our marriage and faith are stronger and as a team we can accomplish anything that God has in storage for us.
I ask for prays for my Daughter-in-law to see her daughter. Well the second day of novena my prayers were answer. Now I still have pray for my son ex-wife to let him see his daughter more.
I have been praying the St. Monica Novena and approximately 3-4 novenas previously. My request was to receive employment which would elevate my knowledge, be close to home and in a different field of work. I opened my heart to these novenas and to our Lord to allow their graces to work their good fortune for my request. I am pleased to say that after sending out close to 60 resumes, invited to 6 interviews, and 2 second interviews; last night August 25th I was offered and accepted a position which is close to home, has more responsibilities, great learning opportunity as it is not in my field and positions me below the head of the organization, where I will be in charge upon their absence, vacation etc. I would like to thank everyone for their prayers; I will continue all upcoming novenas as there are still so many unanswered prayers. I would like to take this opportunity to say that there is a plan in place for all of us and work is being done even though we are unable to see it with our eyes. Keep or develop a strong faith and above all, start or continue to give thanks for all people or things that have crossed your path or in your life. God’s Blessings to everyone!
I have been really unhappy at my current job and things were going from bad to worse. I prayed that St. Monica would intercede and help me to find a new job. While being stuck at a meeting that was going nowhere I checked the Archdiocese of Detroit website and found a job in my field. I thought it might already be filled and I was right, it was filled. A day after applying, and told the job had been filled, I was contacted because the person they hired had quit. It was still not a sure thing because I didn’t know if we would be able to come to terms in regards to compensation. They were able to come through and on this last day of the novena I was able to submit my resignation this morning. This all happened within the course of this nine day novena. Amazing! I start my new job on September 6. Thank you St. Monica for your intercession and praise be Jesus Christ now and forever!
St Monica. Help me to have your faith. And help me to be a good mother like you. I pray for W, a conversion like your son Augustine. For R too.
My friend’s nephew contacted her after disappearing for months and not only have they reunited, he’s gone back to school and straightening his life.
Thank St. Monica for listening to my prayer. My brother has found a job after being unemployed for a long time. I also want to thank our Heavenly Father and all the angels and saints.
I prayed for my friend who was looking for work. On day 3 of the novena, she called and was feeling down because she had heard from no one. I prayed an extra prayer to St Monica. By that afternoon, she had 4 interviews for the next day. By day 7 of the novena, she had a job. Thank you Lord God and St Monica.
Thanks for God’s blessing always.
I was hurt and was paralysed from the hips down. Everyone in my family and my god parents kept praying for me. Slowly the feeling came back into my legs and I was taught how to walk again. I was 42 years old whe this happened. I was in a coma for months. Never give up on the Lord’s mercy.
Thank you Dear St. Monica, you has blessed me with a teaching contract for this year! I have been through a few interviews this year and was dreading more, I prayed this novena to St. Monica asking her to be with me during my interviews and to take my prayers to God. with her help and intervention I was blessed with a contract.
Thank you God and thank you St. Monica.
YEA! I finally found a position in nursing that is going to be a lot
less STRESSFUL! And may pay will comparable to what I was
making previous. And no break in benefits. I give praise &
thanksgiving to Our Lord & St. Monica for coming through for me.
It is just beautiful!
God granted me His inner peace amidst the chaos in my household praise be to God.
St. Monica’s prayers have been directing me towards a Mystical Union with God. This is a Union that is available to us all. Dreams, encounters and Love are guiding my path. Repentance and denial of self are the keys to God’s 1st commandment to Love him with all of our heart, mind, body and soul. Everyone is equal in the eyes of God and worthy of His Divine Mercy and our Love for them, without distinction of good or bad, rich or poor, young or old, attractive or unattractive, successful or unsuccessful.
Dear St Monica thank you for all your intercession. Please continue praying for my two nephews Chester and Gemmo for their safety and success in their chosen careers. Please interceed for me too for my eye surgery on the 6th of September that it will be successful and pain free. Help me too in !y car worries that soon I will be able to buy a very good reliable and affordable good Quality car because I am so worried with my 16 year old car that I am driving up to now. Thank you St Monica. I pray also for all those praying for this Novena that their prayers will be granted according to GOD’s will. Amen.
Like St. Monica, we’ve been praying for the conversion of our son and I must say I’ve seen a major change over these 9 days. A better attitude and he suddenly began making the sign of the Cross with holy water each time he leaves and returns home! It’s a move in the right direction and we’re grateful. Thank you Lord Jesus, thank you St. Monica. Our prayers will continue.
My sister’s MRI results were negative. Thank you!
I prayed to get a job and I did. Thank you
My prayer request is a work in progress. I must keep the faith and do what I possibly can to move it along. Thank you
You and me both friend!
My prayer for my husband not to need surgery on his thumb appears to have been answered!! The doctors say the break is healing well so far. Praise God!
Since I’ve started this novena it feels like the weight I’ve been carrying has been lifted. Our problems are being dealt with and things we’ve worried over are working out. My son has calmed down and is trying harder to pray. This is really huge! I know he still has fears but we are finding ways to work thru them. I trust St Monica is truly assisting us in these matters and I continue to thank her.
I have learned that the Lord wants us to praise Him in the darkest hours, thanking the Lord that you know that He is in control. Thank Him that He is removing the walls of unforgiveness, hostility, and anger from mine and Marc’s heart every day. We must live a life of trusting the Lord, expecting and waiting for the Lord to move your mountains of circumstances. Do not give up on God or stop standing or be swayed by what your spouse is saying or doing. God can move the mountain suddenly. Walk in faith. Remember Lazarus.
Alexander arrived safely at St. John’s University; he seems happy and in the ‘right’ place. Thank You, Lord. I trust that the resources to pay are flowing in from where You deem. Thank You, Jesus.
Jensen is healthier and a path seems to be opening for him to live. Jesus, I trust in You.

O Lord, my God, thank you for your help in my daughter receiving a phone call about a job interview for next Tuesday. I know in my heart that she will get job because of your will to help her. I know that my perseverance in prayer and through St Monica my intentions have been answered in a YES!
Oh gracious and ever living God, I thank you for St Monica, but most especially your Son, Jesus! Amen! Alleluia!
I have prayed,for my daughter to end the hostility which she has
within her towards her sister. She has not changed but I can see some softness about her and the lord has also blessed me with an interview for a job which will be such a blessing to my entire family.
I thank you,
St. Monica.

I prayed for my son who was having a hard time transitioning to starting school. I have seen so much progess at home and at school this week and am so very grateful to St. Monica, Mother Mary, Jesus and Joseph. Many many thanks!!
One of my prayers was that my 18 year old daughter come out of her rebellious stage. I can’t say that she is completely out but I am thankfully, seeing some progress, some glimmers of hope. Just a single word from her brightens my entire day. Thank you St. Monica and Jesus. Amen.
On the first day of the Novena to St. Monica, my son actually picked up the phone when I called and on the third day he came to visit me. But that is not all he said that when he returned from his job next time, he will make a program to take me to his house which I have not been till todate. I pray that slowly but surely he comes back to the Catholic church and not listen to some historian telling him that the church is wrong. Please continue to pray for him.
God had led my son to a job that will help him to the career path that he desires. Thank you!!
I have been praying for the courage to try something new business-wise during the past several Novenas. My business has struggled the last several years and as the sole money earner, stress was mounting. I was not in a good state mentally or spiritually – but I kept at it.
Praise be to God, things started to turn around this week. I feel that God is about to take me on an awesome journey.
Now I see how St. Monica’s persistence and perseverance in prayer does Miracles.
Thank you!
St. Monica truly works for us … Prayed for muy daughter to return to the church and to find a Christian life partner … She’s gone to mass three weeks in a row now, went to a counselor who reminded her how good God has been to her, and she met a responsible and mature young man who is a Christian and holds many of the same values and beliefs that she was raised with … Thank you St Monica, our ever- giving God, and for this novena opportunity!
Thank you St. Monica. I prayed for a renewal of faith in my brother and sister. They go to mass only sporadically, choosing other “commitments” like kids’ sports instead. On day three of the novena, my sister called to tell me she volunteered to teach religious education to bring her back because she felt that she had fallen away from her faith.
Thank you so much my granddaughter does not wet the bed anymore
