Dear Pray More Novenas Community,

Merry Christmas & Happy New year!

We would really love to mail a Christmas card out to you and everyone else who is praying with us — you mean so much to us, but with so many people, it’s just not possible. Instead, we’re sharing our card with you here!

We hope it brings you Joy this Christmas season! Here it is!

We hope you’ve had a very Merry Christmas and that you feel God’s loving presence close to you — He is always near and you are never alone.

We are looking forward to praying the next novena with you, and we will announce it very soon!

Thank you for joining us in prayer and praying for the other members of Pray More Novenas. We are so grateful for you!

God Bless you!
John-Paul & Annie

  16. Dear John-Paul and Annie,

    Merry Christmas and a happy new year to each of you and your family. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for starting and hosting this pray group and also for the many novenas that were prayed. As the Lord said in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”. Although my personal intentions haven’t been answered yet, it has not deterred me from continuing to join you and others in praying. Reading the testimonials fills me with joy knowing that God has answered the intentions of many other participants and I strongly believe that He will one day answer mine.

    Take care and stay safe.
    Yours in Christ,
    David.

  17. This greeting might be late. Your posted novena have had helped me and my family a lot and I know Our Lord Jesus, Our God, Our Holy Spirit guided and protected us all the way.
    It was a long back and forth journey for us. If I will write our experience this past December, I might run out of space.
    My husband and I have been devoted to our prayers and active in our church, though there are times we tried not to do things of what we supposed to do. But we catch up and workout on it.
    We thank you for all these prayers we learned from you both. Have a wonderful and blessed New Year.

  18. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you John Paul and Annie.
    Thank you for always praying for us and giving us the opportunity to join in prayer with the Pray more novenas family.
    Be blessed

  19. Thank you John Paul and Annie for your wonderful ministry. I have been saying novenas with you for several years now and have had so many of my prayers answered. The last two years with the Covid running so rampant around us all I have been working on being closer to God. I have come a long way but still have a ways to go but your sending out the novenas have helped so much. When we say the novenas and put our trust in God we receive many miracles. Your ministry has been a blessing to me and I’m sure so many others that I want to thank you so much. May 2022 be a wonderful year for you and all of us.

  20. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both! God’s peace and blessings and Thank you for all that you do especially with Novena prayers.

  21. Merry Christmas & Happy 2022 to you as well. Keep up the good work with the Novenas this year. I for one certainly appreciate it, and pretty certain the Lord & his Mother do as well.

  49. Beautiful Christmas card, thank you. May God’s blessings be on you and your family for a Happy and healthy New Year. Thank you for the Pray more Novenas.

  50. God bless you and your ministry! I thank God for Pray Novenas, it gives my great comfort to know that so many people are praying for me and my intentions. Even when God does not answer my prayers the way that I want Him to, it makes me know that, with so many people praying for my intentions, what my desire was, was not God’s desire so it makes His “no” easier to accept. I feel reassured that He has something better in mind because I am a beloved daughter of the King and He has plans to not harm me, but plans for hope and a future fir me!
    Please Dearest Heavenly Father please answer ALL of the prayers of the Pray More Novenas Community and when your answer is “no” please wrap Your loving arms around them and fill them with hope and peace, reassuring them of a bountiful future that will always be Your BEST possible outcome for them. Amen.

  51. As I read the emails it brought tears to my eyes. What gift to me to know there are people that minister is such a unique way. Knowing so many are praying and trusting God blesses me.
    Thank you for your beautiful card!
    With joy, Patti

  65. Thank you for your beautiful Christmas Card and the great gift of this Novena Site. May God bless you, most abundantly, this New Year with Hope, Joy, Peace, Love, Kindness, Health and Happiness in the Holy Family!!!

  66. Am so so greatful for the great gift you offered to me in particular for the Christmas. I hope to have a family just like yours that can offer greater spiritual support to others.
    I Just don’t know how I can ask God for me to realise my dream just like yours. Please continue praying for me because I know God’s ways are not our ways and through Him everything is possible.
    My Christmas was successful in that after my husband divorcing me for Childlessness due to the continuous miscourages I had just in that week of Christmas, I had a seven days fasting with only water, I never expected being an ulcers patient but by God’s Grace, I made it successfully and there after proceeded for more days with only supper and closed it on the 1st of January 2022. I have gained strength and confidence and even the pain of being divorced disappeared from my heart. I called that a great achievement and I give the Glory to The Almighty God.
    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022.

  67. Merry Christmas to your lovely family. Thanks for all the novena and encouragement.
    May God continue to use you both as blessings to others. May all your heart desires be granted in Jesus’ name amen.
    Thanks

  68. John-Paul & Annie, what a blessing you are to the Catholic world! May Jesus Christ be praised for all you do with the Novena apostolate. I have always shared your Novenas with my Christian community and friends. We’ve had wonderful blessings from the Lord of Love by praying together as a family; and especially praying that pivots us to the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

    I wish you a Merry Christmas and fruitful New Year, 2022.

    With love beyond all telling,

    Fr. Samuel Okiria,
    Pastor at St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Acumet,
    Soroti Catholic Diocese, Uganda.

  69. Pray for my family members not of faith, those not attending Catholic mass, disconnected from penance and reconciliation, and not receiving Holy Eucharist.

  70. Dear Annie & John Paul,
    Many thanks for your lovely Christmas card so thoughtful. I wish you both a blessed New Year.
