  1. My prayer was to direct my path, my thoughts. He showed me a star and said, “follow it”. It led me to the Christ child where I bowed down to worship and adore him. My path is straight, my thoughts are clear. My Lord keeps me in perfect peace. Thanks be to my Lord and savior. Thank you to Mother Mary for her provision and thanks to the saints who have prayed for me, especially my little St Therse.

  2. Our son and his wife are safely here to spend Christmas with us. A young wife and mother of 3 young children was healed eternally of a vicious cancer and is now safe with Jesus. Still praying much for her husband and the rest of the family.

  5. My brother-in-laws throat tumor was completely gone after his radiation therapy after doctors said it was not curable. We feel it is a Christmas miracle!

  6. Our 8 year old dog was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. She had stopped eating, has a growth on her leg, is limping and has no energy. We have been crying constantly and trying to decide what to do. Especially at Christmas, this has been extremely difficult. We took her to the vet to be euthanized but the vet encouraged us to wait. After praying daily for her, she is now eating and drinking. I believe God is giving her extra time and getting us through the holidays peacefully. ❤

  7. For years I have been praying for a son with an addiction to pornography and who no longer went to church. He has been put on almost every novena that you posted. His name is on prayer lists. During this Christmas novena, he called and said he is done with pornography and sees the destruction it has had on him. He had experienced times free from the addiction and felt so much better and experienced life more free and whole. He said he “was able to see the sunsets without the boulders blocking the view”.
    Many, many thanks to Our Dear Lord, Mother Mary and the saints! Also, thanks to all of you prayer warriors!
    Prayers continue so he returns to the church and his faith and stays in recovery.

  8. For the last three months In my novenas I have been asking for The Grace of God to show my husband the way to new employment.

  24. Losing my job this past November after 22 years with the company was shocking as for the past year I kept thinking I was going to retire there. I went to many job interviews afraid and tired since looking for a job became my full time job, but I went with confidence cause I knew my strength didn’t come from me but from the Lord. He works in misterious way…I recently started a new job. Blessed be the Lord

  25. I know in the big picture this is small, but a friend and her large family unexpectedly lost their beloved dog. We looked and looked for a puppy for them – their two special needs children were especially distraught. So close to Christmas we were finding scammers or litters already spoken for. But God provided and now they have a little ball of fluff with them. It’s a little thing but it made such a big impact.

  26. I’ve prayed many of the novenas you’ve offered, in fact all of them, so I don’t know who to thank or which one.But our Lord and all the saints, especiallyl St. Jude,have accepted a plea to an offence committed years ago regarding my daughter. Have been praying for this intention all year. Hopefully this will give her peace and more importantly an understanding that forgiveness has to be a part…..which she cannot right now.it is a difficult part. Your novenas help me to let go and let God and relieve some stress which arises often.
    Thanks forever
