  1. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested
    to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My
    apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with
    someone!

  2. Dear St Monica,please pray for me that every delay of my marital connection and fulfilment be destroyed and let my marriage receive divine speed and come to pass quickly. Let every delay of my mum’s healing be destroyed so that she can be healed and be restored back to health quickly. Let all my long awaited miracle, expectations and intentions receive a divine speed today and come to physical manifestations soonest,Amen! Thank you dear St. Monica for interceeding for me.

  3. I am praying for our family. Currently we are in the middle of an unplanned move caused by a new job after a period of unemployment. God closed all the doors that would have kept us from moving but opened a window to this opportunity that is requiring a move. We are trying to trust and hope that we are doing God’s will. I pray for the funds we need to repair our current house to make it sellable, a nice home to rent in the meantime so our whole family can be reunited and to pay past due bills with.

  4. St. Monica, thank you for hearing and answering my prayers halfway through this novena.
    Thank you for sending my prayers to the Lord. Thank you for sending me this wonderful job opportunity. You know I have prayed for this for over a year, I truly understand the meaning of patience now and how important faith and trust in God is now thanks to you. Thank you again for answering my prayers St. Monica!!

  6. Why am I not getting the novena’s ? I got yesterday’s & can’t get today’s, so disappointed . I have been subscribed for some time & have gotten all the other ones. It keeps asking me to subscribe & when I do it says that I’m already subscribed. Don’t know what to do

  7. Dear St Monica, please intercede for my marriage to be reconciled and restored and for us to attend the marriage encounter seminar to further grow in our marriage. Also please help me be a blessing to my husband and to love him as the bible instructs a wife to love and submit to her husband.

  8. St. Monica, please interceed for my family, for the conversion of my husband, to turn his life to God and away from the worldly things, that now when he left and wants the divorce he can find in his silence a space for God, so he. Wants to come back to us and live a life of sanctity that looks forward to be reunited with Our lord Jesus Christ. You were told from the Bishop” i was May 4, the date her remains ….. her with the words, “Go now, I beg of you; it is not possible that the son of so many tears should perish”. I have faith that mine will be heard to. I am unworthy but God’s love is amazing… Thanks St Monica because your life has been the main inspiration and example during these last years.

  9. Dear St.Monica,

    I would like to offer a petition to my ex-boyfriend. I hope he finds happiness and peace within himself. We had a great relationship then suddenly he became so distant. Please help him realize what we had, the time, effort and emotions that we shared for our relationship to make it work. I wish someday, he’ll come to realize our relatioships worth and he’ll talk to me soon to answers all the questions that I have in mind.

    Amen!

  10. For Brett to find friends and happiness and to not feel so alone to be strong in the Lord. St. Monica pray for us.

  11. Dear St. Monica,
    This Novena is being prayed for my 20 year old daughter Haley. She is lost and struggling and on a destructive path. She is drinking excessively and continues to put herself in harms way. It is so sorrowful to watch your daughter slowly kill herself.
    I know deep down she is empty inside and looking to fill a void. Alcohol, drugs, guys, or anything for that matter, can fill that hole except Our Lord and Blessed Mother. She does not believe in God or anything for that matter. This subject or getting any help or speaking to a counselor is off limits for her Dad and I.
    I pray St. Monica for your intercession for Haley to have a conversion of heart and soul. To know God and for her to turn her life around. She is heading for disaster, and I, nor anyone can stop it. Only the power of God can do this and I know how you suffered St.Monica with your son. You were vigilant and are a great testimony for all Mothers.
    I cannot express enough how much it means to me that so many people are praying.
    I am so fearful, and ask that I also have the strength to follow the Will of God and endure whatever is asked of me.
    I ask this in the Name of Jesus! Amen

  12. Terri,
    My prayers are with you and your sweet family. I KNOW prayers are answered – always in our Father’s time via His will – always full of love and grace (although I may not see it that way while I’m going through something).

    I’m inspired to caution you about the stock program you are considering. It is a very hard program to learn and decisions to make a move in one direction or another happen in under a second. Many well educated, talented and very brave individuals have tried to make money with this marketing tool – and failed.

    From my own experience of being behind in everything and having loved ones that were very ill for year – I wanted to reach for (prayerfully) ANYTHING that would help me get out of my situation almost – instantly. You are not alone. And, just like you – God did not create either of us as “junk.” We are very talented and blessed beyond measure. It’s just that feeling of despair that consumed me from time-to-time that I allowed Satan sweet lies to elevated my pain and suffering.

    I can offer you this with a truth beyond time itself – “This to shall pass.” I’m no Job – but my heart is lighter knowing I let go and let God – if even for a few moments in a day. He ALWAYS reassured me with His love – “THIS TO SHALL PASS.”

    Pray the Novenas that John-Paul and Annie bring to you. They are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Even they don’t know all they are doing to bring our Father’s love into hearts around the world. But one day they will. One day we all will.

    Blessed by you,
    Billy

  13. Dear St. Monica please continue to pray for my daughter Dawn who had surgery on July 24th to replace both her Intrathlecal pain pump drug delivery system and broken catheter connected to her Intrathlecal pain pump. However, since her surgery her pain has spiked and additional bad effects have started. All the drugs her doctors have her on are making her so sick it breaks my heart to see her suffer 24/7; her pain is at an extremely high level.
    As if having Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS) were not enough for Dawn to deal with in the last three years she has also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and late on-set of Lyme disease, Chronic Migraines, Chronic Insomnia, Chronic Fatigue, female problems etc.
    I’m begging for Dawn to receive a healing miracle as she has suffered for eleven years and is only getting worst, this child need to be healed / free of all her pain and suffering for good, and I beg of you St. Jude to intercede before our Lord Jesus for Dawn.
    As for me, my funds are extremely low, I cannot work as I care for Dawn and at my age after caring for her have no energy for job; however; I’m very interested in learning about trading Penny Stock, I pray that someone will come into my life and take the time to teach me how to do so without charging me money to learn.
    St. Monica I know what I’m asking for requires a miracle or two but you are the Saint of the impossible so please pray for my daughter Dawn and I.
