  21. Yes my prayers thus far have been answered that my husband be more cooperative and tender towards me. Thus far my prayers have been answered.

    My other prayers must be very difficult or now is not the right time for them to be answered. I have a lot of arthritis in my body and in a lot of pain, I will require a number of replacement s next year this is one, and my other prayers I have been praying is that my daughter come to Toronto to live with her husband. Hoping that when the time is right his job with the bank will transfer him to Toronto. I only have one daughter in my life I have tried to provide support and guidance to her in every way possible and its been a very difficult time for us she have been away with her career for the last past 20 years. I have had cancer and many other surgeries and she has not been here, when she needed us we have been there for her. God provided me strength to travel and be with her. Now that I am getting older is been very difficult, and I feel very alone. I know that one day hopefully soon I will have my prayers answered, I will keeep praying. I am grateful for your prayers.

  22. The Novena to St. Monica came at just the right time. My husband was holding a grudge, and didn’t want to accept a small vacation I was planning. Once I started to pray to St. Monica, his attitude started to change. He has now accepted, and has not brought up the original subject of the grudge. I will continue to pray to St. Monica for blessings on our marriage.

  23. The lady novena was prayed for my sister who was facing open heart surgery. She had many health problems brought on mainly thru her rheumatoid arthritis. I prayed that she would be able to tolerate the surgery, that God would guide the hands of the surgeon, enable the nurses to take good care of her so she would recover & come home to her family & live out her life in peace & dignity. Everything went exceptionally well. She’s home recovering & all her sisters are taking turns caring for her. Thanks be to God!!

  24. Ii am taking a true leap of faith but I must;it is the right thing to do:

    I pray for health restored; i have had harsh infusions w/the worst side effects, a neurologic disease for 32,yrs getting progressively worse. God is all good as is the Blessed Mother – i pray to ne changed in body, mind, spirit for the better for nothing is impossible w/the Lord-he hears every prayer & sees every tear – I believe my healing is happening for God, His Mother, St Joseph & all the saints & angels will answer my prayers for continual improvement from the pain & disability – I will never give up because God won’t either
    Thank you Lord, Jesus!

  25. My husband have been out of work since two years ago and our three kids are still in high school and college. Please pray for my husband finding a new job. Secondly my 3yrs old nephew diagnosed with kidney failure and currently on waiting list to have his kidney remove. Appreciate your prayer very much indeed.

  26. I thank the Lord that my daughter sent a long, friendly, newsy email about her family. She has not wanted to communicate with anyone in the family for more than a year. Thank you, Lord, that she has reached out. I pray that this might lead to more communication and eventually reconciliation.
