  1. I am writing to say that I find the Bible makes no mention of praying to saints. Yes, it is catholic doctrine, but as members of the body of Christ, we have access to the Father through Jesus, our saviour.
    Please let me know why you think that praying to a saint is needed when we can pray directly to Jesus, who sits at the right hand of the Father?
    Thank you

  2. We at the end of my rope due to very unjust things that my father did and has pushed us to have thoughts of ending it all…please pray for our prayers to be answered

  3. Praise God,

  4. Ive been praying the Divine Mecry Chaplet, novena to our lady of Miracle Medal and novena to St Jude Thaddeus, St Theresa of Calcutta, Blessed Carlo Acutis for my son to pass his sunjects last semester, his stdent visa renewal to be granted and finacial blessings .. My prayers were answered. Thankyou mama Mary , the saints and holy angels for the intercessory prayers. God is good and i give all rhe glory and hnour to him for his love and mercy . My faith has grown and i will always trust in him .

  5. Earlier this year I was living in what you’d call an abusive home. I had turned away from God, felt like he did not care for my suffering anymore.
    One night I broke down and tried to reason with an abusive person that I would turn back to the church if they’d stop making me suffer. Out of desperation.
    Blindly, I decided to begin praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy afterward. With another member of my home, we prayed, prayed, prayed. I thanked God for every day just that I was able to wake up even though trying to get through the day was agony for me.
    Out of nowhere, it was like our Lord was swooping in left and right for me – my abuser was taken away from our home in less than three months of faithfully saying the prayer every day.
    My only regret I had about any of this was thinking that He did not love me anymore. Even though I forgot about him, he still helped me and others get through one of the hardest times of my life. I thank you my Brother Jesus.

  6. Please pray for me that God will remove my pelvic prolapse. I also have pain from it so I can no longer have relations with my husband of 30 years. It’s all happened in the last few months as I have just entered menopause suddenly. I’ve become emotional and anxious, probably high blood pressure too but the prolapse is devastating as to how I feel about myself. I can’t understand why God would want me to endure this from now as it affects my marriage (& chn) so I am being bold to ask Him, and anyone who will be so kind as to pray for me also. I will surely do the same. Thank you.

  7. Divine Mercy on behalf of my husband I thank you for all the good results he had today from the doctor. He is in good health & my gratitude & thanks for all your prayers & blessings. I offer the chaplet today.

  8. I have currently taken up an executive assistants job on temporary basis for the period of 3 months. Everything is working for my good uptil now. request you to please pray for me as I may continue this job here even after June 17th ( which is my official last working day). Request you to please pray for me .

    Thankyou.

  19. I have being praying with praymorenovenas for about 2.5 years and at the time the Divine Mercy Novena was announced, I was at a low point. My prayers were for myself and 2 other people and no advances were being seen with any of these matters. I had noted in an email from John-Paul & Annie that answered novena petitions were happening years into the continued prayers. I decided at that moment to persist with petitions to the Almighty via Novenas.

    About the 3rd day in the Divine Mercy Novena, a miracle occurred! My sister received a kidney donation – I had prayed for her return to full health! She is recovering well and adjusting to the new life given to her by our Lord. All praise to the Almighty for His Grace. Thank you Lord.

My husband and I had just finished praying the Divine Mercy Novena on day 8 when we received a phone call that our son had been injured in a motorcycle accident and was being transferred to the ER. I know that it was the Divine Mercy of our Lord that protected our son that night. It was a hit-n-run were the automobile that hit him left the scene of the accident. Our son
    suffered massive road rash to his face, arms, hand and knees but
    thankfully no concussion, broken bones nor internal injuries or
    bleeding. Other kind individuals stopped and rendered aid. Praise

Our faith, belief, hope, love and support especially as a family are all strengthened. Thank you for giving my son and us another chance, and for bringing our family together in praying. Thank you so much!

  26. Praise God for this miracle!!! Chad, a young father from Florida, collapsed and was in a coma right before Easter. His sister-in-law and I started the Divine Mercy Novena for him. He is currently awake, walking, talking and eating again. I am claiming this as a miracle since the doctors cannot explain his quick recovery. God is so good to those who put their trust in Him!

  27. God is great. I have been committed to doing novenas and even celebrated the divine mercy Sunday. also received reconciliation sacrament. believe me when I say my prayers were answered. So don’t give up . everything you ask from our God almighty through prayers will be granted to you.

  29. I prayed that my husband would be offered a job close to home and with wood. He was offered a position this past Tuesday. Thank you!!!!!

  30. I asked our Divine Mercy to please help the doctors find the reason I was having such a difficult time breathing and they did!! I was increasing having more and more of a hard time breathing. Finally, they discovered a bacteria I had. The antibiotic they were giving me was the wrong one. The bacteria was feeding off of it and getting stronger. I feel like I have a chance now to have a more productive life. I still will have problems breathing because of my disease, I have COPD, but breathing is a lot easier. Thank you Lord God and Divine Mercy

  31. I had the answered prayer for a sick friend for not having prolonged suffering and they passed within the week. Also, and answered prayer regarding my daughter and son who were taking the final steps to divorce and now back together. Thank you for the intercession of our Blessed Mother and the Lord answering prayers for all. Amen.

  32. My son has been accepted into graduate school. His hope is to get accepted into dental school but unfortunately that hasn’t happened yet. I will keep praying the novenas in hope of that happening but for now we were blessed with the graduate school offer for his masters degree .

  33. Good day,
    Peace of the Lord be with you. I prayed the St. Rita novena during my fellowship exams and God answered me with success. Praise the Lord!
    God bless you for the good work that you are doing.
    Please continue to pray for me as I write the second stage of my exams.

    Warm Regards,

    E.E.

  34. Thanks to everyone who was praying this Divine Mercy Novena with me! I m so glad during the time of the Novena I was able to speak to the man I love since a lot of time, more than two years.
    This is really a miracle of Grace. Thank you Lord Jesus!

  35. MY PRAYER IS THAT I AM BLESSED WITH A NEW JOB AT THE COMPANY WHERE I WAS RECENTLY EMPLOYED AS I WORKED THERE FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS “IT HAS BEEN MY CALLING AND MY JOB IS NOT DONE THERE YET BECAUSE I HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN ME TO GIVE” – I WAS AN AWESOME AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE EMPLOYEE ALWAYS WILLING TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR EACH AND EVERY PATIENT, FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, AND COWORKERS.

  39. Through Jesus’s Divine Mercy, I was offered a job. I experienced His mercy as I went through interviews and reaching out for references. I prayed the novena more towards the end. The last day we attended a service for Divine Mercy and sang the novena. It was incredible! We have a merciful and loving Lord!

  40. Through this novena, I was praying to God to bless me with a new job and HE did. During the cause of my last interview as soon as the interview was over they offered me the job on the spot.

  41. Thanks be to God for His mercies. Amongst what I prayed for during the novena was finance to start up my business again. To the glory of God I just asked a friend whom is not among those I intend asking and he gave the amount I asked for the next day. God’s mercy never comes to an end, they are new every morning. The other intentions will come through as He wills.

  42. Eternal Father,
    I just got the news that the bank has accepted the loan for my daughter to buy the 44% share of the house, making her the sole owner; thus leading the road to the peaceful separation of my daughter from this man who has abused my daughter physically, mentally and financially.
    I pray for this man, that he will cooperate with us for the rest.
    I am still waiting for the news that my son get a job!
    Thank you, Jesus, for your sorrowful passion!

  43. The Monday following the feast of the Divine Mercy Our Lord has prevented me from a car accident that could be fatal, either me or the other driver couldn’t understand how we did not crash into each other’s car….It must be thanks to the Divine Mercy intervention. Thanks my Lord and Savior you are so Good so Wonderful!

  44. My son, Luke, who has suffered from alcoholism for nearly four years, spoke to his wife and children for the first time in many months. He is in rehab right now and finally opened up to a trusted individual about his real problem. My long long prayer has been answered. Thank you, Jesus You are so Good!!!!!

  45. Yes, at least a part answer to my prayers from the Divine Mercy Novena. A better financial outlook and really needed funds came through for me last week. Praise Be to the Lord on HIGH !!

  46. I am retired and live on my monthly check which is not very much. On the last day of the novena my car broke down and was going to cost too much to repair I just started to pray and put my problem in my Lord’s hands.
    On Divine Mercy Sunday my daughter call to let me know she had a car for me. I thank my Lord everyday for so many blessings that I have received and my Blessed Mother.

  47. Thank you Lord Jesus for my clarity and peace in my life from praying the Divine Mercy and Sacred Heart novenas. No anxiety experienced since, thank you thank you, AMEN.

  48. I have been praying the past novenas and have prayed that the Lord help my son with job opportunities. He was called to several interviews and finally was hired and will begin his training today. I will continue to pray that all goes well at this job for him.

  49. A close person who was owing a lot of my savings and was dodging me for the past 5 months paid up in full. We give thanks and glory to God.

  50. My husband was so hesitant and resistant on going to catholic retreats. After finishing the Divine Mercy , he went on a retreat and came home beaming with Joy and very happy. God had completely changed his perspective and he now have a stronger faith. He had found new friends in the church and now, he is the one encouraging me to attend the retreat as well. Thanks be to God. I have been praying for this! God is now leading him to the good crowd.

  51. Thank you to the novena crew and anyone that prayed the Divine Mercy novena with me. My wife has stage 3 breast cancer and her recent scan came back clear!

  54. After doing the Divine Mercy Novena, and also encouraging others to do it. I feel more at peace with my self and I thank God for the gift of life and good health.

  55. Thanks to the Divine Mercy. I have often committed sin with my cousin, and after that realize that if anything wrong outcome would come then I may be in trouble. And so, I felt in tense. But through Divine Mercy Novena nothing such anything happened. For which I am very grateful for Divine Mercy from Heavenly father. Lord take me to the right path always.

  56. My father had a stroke on 3/12, which left him unable to talk. I started the Divine Mercy novena on Sat a day late. A few hrs after I finished saying Day 9 prayer, my brother texted that dad was starting to talk, not clear, but talking… All glory and praise to you, Jesus…

  57. I thank God that during the Divine Mercy Novena and our Mother of Perpetual Help prayers, my womb was healed.

  60. After praying this novena, the pain I’ve been enduring in my abdomen suddenly disappeared. I prayed for it for so long because I can’t afford to get sick specially I am working for my family. God is so good all the time.

  61. I have always been praying for my youngest son to find a stable and better paying job now that he has a family of his own. Through the novenas, he has found a well paid job but I am still praying that he becomes permanent.

  62. The Lord did not listen to my prayers during the Divine Mercy Novena.
    I asked God to heal me and help me with my insomnia and I still cannot sleep at night.
    I guess my problem is not important for God or he might not think that sleeping is important for me.
    Yesterday I slept one hour and then another hour.
    Today, after not sleeping, I felt depressed, anxious, moody.
    I guess God doesn’t want to heal me.
    I’ve taken magnesium that my doctor has prescribed and it doesn’t work. I’ve taken Melatonin and it doesn’t work.
    My last resource is to see a psychiatrist and see if sleeping pills work for me.
    I thought God could heal me.
    I feel sad, betrayed and unloved by God.
    I feel I asked him bread and fish and He gave me a stone instead.
    He doesn’t care about me.
    Please pray for me

    • I wish to thank God, for the gift of a job for my son he started work today. Praise be His Holy Name. Amen.

    I thank the Lord for listening to our plea.

  67. On Good Friday, an MD in a company i had signified interest to work in since last year but had not heard from for more than a year called me up for discussion. We had a meeting on Easter Monday and he offered me the job. I have been out of work since January 2016 and i really needed a job.
    I give GOD all the Glory.

  68. Prayed for someone in my life and things are working out well. Am greatful to God for answered prayers.

  70. Praise be the Lord for His infinite love and mercy to us!
    I asked St. Joseph’s intercession for the unemployed and I prayed the Divine Mercy Novena for the peace of the world.
    My husband has been without a job for a year and last week, he started working in a restaurant’s kitchen, he also received a call from a friend to do a Mexican catering for 25 people and finally, he received an offer by post for a job doing marketing research.
    A triple blessing!. Let’s keep praying, let’s keep trusting…God loves us.

  71. I sold my house! I got the offer late at night on Divine Mercy Sunday… I prayed the Mercy novena for that specific blessing, I prayed faithfully and God answered me. Thank you My beloved Jesus Christ, and thank you for posting this faboulus website to help us pray novenas.

  72. I’m praying the next novena that I might be able to retire earlier than anticipated from my current position – I need the money to be a certain amount to support me while I a) look for another position and b) move to be closer to my family and ailing mother in Florida. So, I’m praying for God to expedite things and help me financially so that I may make this move – sooner rather than later.

  73. My stepdaughter of twelve years told me she has finally come to realize how I have always been there for her, and how she truly loves me! She thanked me for being the good and loving wife to her father that he deserves. And she’s working her way back to the Catholic Chirch. More blessings than I prayed for!! God is so merciful and generous!

  74. Prayers for a teenager who had a baseball size cancerous growth on his left shoulder. The cancer spread to his 10th rib on the right and his left hip. He has been receiving cancer treatment for 12 weeks. I saw him two days ago-the shoulder has been reduced but the doctors are still speaking of amputating his whole arm, rib and replacing his hip. I am asking the Lord for a redirection miracle. Fr Don

  75. We prayed that our son would return to the Church and the process has begun!!! Our “prodigal” son came to talk to us last Tuesday admitting that he has struggled for the last 9 years since he left home, has made mistakes and asked us for forgiveness!!! PRAISE GOD!!! Also, he is much more open to acknowledging God and us talking about Him. (It was just a few months ago that he told us were were too religious!!) GOD IS SOOO GOOD!!! He is starting a new job today and says he has found the girl he wants to marry!!! AGAIN, PRAISE GOD, HE’S READY TO FULLY GROW UP!!!

  76. My daughter’s friend decided not to take a job out of town and told her it was because of her. He told her he really likes her a lot and would love to see where their friendship will take them.
    Of course, we are praying that he makes their friendship official now and that the two of them will fall in love and get married and live a long and happy marriage.

  77. I had a follow up CT scan for my colon cancer done during the Novena and I prayed my result would be good, that there will be no worrisome findings. I just got back my results and not only were there no new lesions, but the ones that were previously seen have improved. God is truly merciful!

  78. Yes Yes Divine Mercy Novena helped my daughter to ask me to pray for her through her difficult time in her child custody. This week is crucial and more prayers are required.
    Pl join me and continue praying for a favourable child custody, fair financial settlement and her superiors in the office give justice to the job my daughter is doing and she can retain her job or get a new job.
    Thank you all for praying
    I believe and i thank you Jesus, because i know its done.
    Praise You Jesus

  80. A very dear teenager very close to me is having a very hard time with a condition that has transpired. She soon will be going to HS. She has developed an attitude she never had, very bratty and rebellious, although she is an honor student. I asked the Divine Mercy to calm her, and give her fortitude and patience with her condition , also asked for the complete remission of her malady.
    She looks happier and less rebellious. Will continue to pray to the Divine Mercy ! and you my brothers and sisters pray for her too , because NOTHING is more powerful than prayers , Divine Mercy, pray for us , Sacred Heart of Jesus, in you we trust .

  81. After praying the Devine Mercy Novena, our grandson, in much need of a car, was able to get a car that was affordable & in great condition. The previous owner, our neighbor, said whatever he can afford & he thinks is fair, that’s what I will charge! Looking forward to the Novena to our Lady of Fatima, starting May 4th.
