Thank you for joining us in the St. Anne Novena, one of our very favorite novenas!
We hope that St. Anne’s intercession has brought you peace and comfort.
If you experienced an answered prayer during or after this novena, please share it with us all below! We must praise God, and give Him all the glory, for all the good things He is doing in our lives.
We know that for every answered prayer we share, there are many other unanswered prayers too; and we know how discouraging that can be. We don’t want you to lose hope or to stop praying.
In fact, nearly all of the Saints that we ask for intercession are incredible examples of how we should persist in our prayers and keep our faith strong. St. Anne, for example, prayed for decades to conceive before God granted this desire of hers (which would become the Blessed Virgin Mary!).
Now, if you have had some prayers go seemingly unanswered (you’re not alone), and you’ve been asking yourself, “Should I just stop praying?” — here’s a post I wrote that may be able to help:
Thank you for joining us in prayer!
We are praying for you.
I asked St Anne for a better car. Day after Novena I was asked by my daughter if I could take over payments of her 7 yr old Nissan. She was buying a new car! I had t pay no down payment. I also had t go to court t fight for my x husband retirement. I was given half.
I was praying to St.Anne, that a test I was going to take that it would not show cancer, I took my test yesterday and everything was good, no cancer
thank you St.Anne for this miracle.

I have been praying these Novenas for the past 6 months, asking God to bless me with a job and praying for others as well. Just yesterday I got an appointment letter to start work on August 3, 2015. All Glory and praise be to God! Jesus I trust in you!
My daughter wanted a baby so badly and is had trouble with the past two pregnancies she was very scared and afraid to try again but she mastered the strength to do it did not want to discuss the baby until she was past the first trimester there was genetic testing and she was watched carefully I started this novena a random date just keeping my prayers going for her and her baby I finished the day before her four-month sonogram and when we went everything was perfect sometimes we pray so much we think God is tired of our voices but God is so amazing never doubt a novena prayer or any prayer thank you for doing this amazing site
My daughter received a job offer on Monday! God is good!!
Please pray I find a job when I move; me and my grandchild can move to where my nieces lives in Georgia with their support I can move away from a Domestic Violence situation and successfully start a new life with my little grandchild…..and my two older children will be safe here and maybe eventually move closer to where I move. Pray it will be a safe transition…..and we will be safe……thank you for your prayers….
I always ask for the same favors and with every novena a little bit is answered. This time one of my requests was (as usual) for financial heath for myself and my adult children. I think the first day of the novena — my adult son called and told me he’d interviewed for and gotten a job doing what he loves. He’d been out of work for two months. Then a few days later my immediate boss told me that she was going to ask our boss for an upgrade for her and myself – I’ve held the same title for 15 years and have always been told we can’t afford an upgrade. She’s going to fight for both of us! The only hold out, but I believe totally that something will happen soon, is my daughter and son-in-law who have been both actively seeking work in their fields. Oh and a bonus — my granddaughter has been accepted to our parochial school along with a small scholarship that will pay for her first two months and all other fees waived. So I believe my daughter and son-in-law will get their jobs before the next tuition payment is due. Thank you, Lord and thank you St. Anne
My son has been having a horrible time he left the United States Marines and has had a very hard time adjusting the girl he was talked him into to going down to Florida to live with here mother he had no job no money and they throw him out on the street. Through the blessings of our Lord Savior he has found a job and the people he works for set him up in an apartment and are helping him fix his car. He now has a job he like and a place to live. I implored him to pray and pray and he has and god has lead him in the right direction. for this I am grateful and we are blessed. I on the other hand pray daily some time several times a day, I know the Lord has a plan for me but we about to lose our home and I can not find a good job to support my family But I will not stop as I have faith that the lord will find I in his heart to lead me in the right dirction.
Thank you St. Anne for your working hand. I prayed that I might come to know better God’s Will for me in my life, and yesterday I was given an affirmation that the road I am on is God’s Will for me! What a relief and a blessing.
I prayed for my daughter to have her broken heart healed and for someone new to come into her life and the day after the novena she had someone new start talking to her….it may seem like something little but I believe in the power of the name of Jesus! Thank you St. Anne
My prayers are still unanswered but nevertheless will continue to pray
I would like to give Praise, Honour ,Glory and Thanks giving to
God our Father through all the Novena I have participated in
with you all my Brothers and Sisters in Christ for the prayers answered now and in days ahead

My Daughter her husband are still separated but are talking and doing some activities together with the children.

AMEN
My husband and I had been fighting and bickering a lot lately. We both -separately- started saying the novena to St. Anne and asked her and St. Joachim to intercede for our marriage. We then felt guided to do certain things: go to confession, pray together, pray for one another, and ask Jesus to help us use the graces of our marriage. We are doing so much better, we needed some heavenly help and a sweet reminder to keep Jesus alive in our marriage. Thank you to St. Anne and St. Joachim for their help!
I had pray for my two sons, one concerns his study. He is facing final exam about 3 months ahead. He wasn’t want to go to school, on last day of the Novena, he came to me and said ” I have been organised with a group of some students who’s concentrate on study and I demand money for payment for the teacher’s service. Thanks to St. Anne & Joackim for their intercession to my son
Mary G:
One of my prayer requests to st Anne was for my son to obtain spiritual and physical healing and secure a job; he has been ailing with a strange chronic disease since 2012. On Friday 24th July i decided to forward an application for apprenticeship attachment through a friendly colleague. While I was emailing the application I was prompted to invoke st Jude of the impossible and I did. She called a few hours later to inform me that my son should arrange for insurance for the attachment to be processed. When I tried to find my son on phone to pass the message he did not respond. But join me in praise of our faithful God, in the evening my son revealed he had gone to attend a 5day inner healing retreat at our local Vincentian Prayer House. St Anne’s prayers no doubt are accompanying my son! And I am following up with a novena to st Jude as was inspired. May God Bless everyone and especially the promoters; John Paul and Anne and all the participants. Please continue praying for my son.
WHILE PRAYING THE NOVENA TO ST. ANNE, I ASKED FOR HER INTERCESSIONS FOR A VERY CLOSE FRIEND WHO WAS WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT A JOB OFFER WHICH COULD TURN HIS LIFE AROUND. HE HAS NOT WORKED IN OVER 10 YEARS…HE GOT A CALL LAST WEEK TO MEET WITH THE CEO OF A MAJOR NETWORK AND IS GOING TO DAY…THANKS AND PRAISE TO YOU GOD FOR ANSWERING MY PRYERS FOR HIM.
My son has been out of work for over a month. I prayed that either he or his wife, who has been a stay at home mom with 3 children, would find work. I received a call from our daughter in law who was offered a job. Thank you St. Anne and GOD for some income for their household! Amen.
The person l was praying the novina for is out of surgery for cancer, and is okay so thank you st anne.
This was the first Novena that I have followed and completed. I thought you always had to have more to complete but what I did was enough.
I asked for help with all my concerns/problems. Guidance for my boys; financial help for our family and new job venture for me. I am now into a totally different field giving support to special needs individuals…I will begin this new job within 6 weeks. All I ask for now is the knowledge and GOD to assist me in assisting others. GOD is good…Thank you St. Anne.
I am looking forward to St. Filomena’s Novena Too!
Respectfully yours,
Filomena O
I prayed that I get time to finish the term before taking up my secondment job my prayer has been answered and al go mid August.i also got my passport in less than a week.i thank God
I prayed for my niece and for my daughter for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. My niece had a safe delivery and blessed with a baby girl. My daughter will be having her baby in August. Thank you St. Anne for interceding for my family even in small things right throughout our lives.
Our daughter who is in middle school didn’t want to wear any religious jewelry (my deceased mother gave her a beautiful Miraculous Medal necklace for her First Holy Communion) to school saying she was young and only adults wear those type of things. Last Thursday after saying the novena I received a call that my first cousin had died that morning. He was a very religious, good man and his sister asked my daughter to say a reading at his funeral Mass. My daughter happily did. Yesterday my other first cousin (her brother is the one that passed away) came over to our house and gave my daughter a bracelet with the Miraculous Medal on it. My daughter loved it and told everyone that she will always wear it (except during gym) and is telling me she is thinking about wearing her necklace. I told my daughter that Mary found a way for her to wear her Miraculous Medal. Miracles happen everyday. Never give up hope because even if you don’t receive an answer immediately- you will receive one. God Bless everyone and I hope all that are praying find peace and happiness in their lives.
lord jesus novena mother mary please give me strength to get up early it goes bad to verse everyday money goes no work and my bill increase every month no earning members in my house i am tired with my life i am waiting to get a job near my house
I asked st. Anne for such but she did answer one of my petiorions that my daughter find a job. Two or three days into the novena she received a job interview by saturday she had a job. Thank you st. Anne. I believe st. Anne is going to answer the rest of my petition also.
As a student, I was praying to pass my clinical placement as I have experienced a lot of problems before. I finished my placement with good comments and excellent marks in all activities. Thanks for your prayers
I have been married for six years not in church but at the AG office. I know the catholic church does not recognise that as marriage and therefore cannot receive the eucharist. I have been praying cos i always feel guilty when others receive the sacrament am left seated i have been asking God to remove all the obstacles on my way so i can feel whole. I call it a miracle because on saturday my husband said we can have the church wedding. (I mentioned it once to him and he asked me how many times are we getting married so i decided to be quiet and just pray) I thank you all for your prayers because when we pray the novenas we pray for each other as well. Thanks be to God for his faithfullness.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year and have been feeling very discouraged and isolated. My sister in law called out of the blue two weeks ago to check in on us, and I shared our despair. She emailed me last week saying that she would be praying this Novena for the intention of our fertility, and two days after the Novena concluded, we found out we are expecting! She is a recent convert to Catholicism, and this is her first Novena miracle, so she is SO excited on many levels! God is good! :)
Through this beautiful novena to St Anne ( thank you Annie & Paul!) I had requested firstly for peace of mind in preparation of open heart surgery that i am advised to undergo shortly. Praise the Lord, in the first instance and quite by Godincidence through my parish Priest, I was guided to see the best heart surgeon we have in this country whom it would otherwise have been impossible to see at short notice. During the novena I had a my first consultation with him and he put my mind at rest about the procedure of the op saying everyting will be well. I know I am in good hands and feel more at peace now in preparation of the operation. I thank St Anne for her divine intercession in finding me the right surgeon, who I gather prays before every operation he does. May God bless & protect him. May I also request your prayers for the success of my operation in 6 weeks time and God’s healing thereafter. Thank you St Anne, Thank you Annie & Paul and thank you and may God bless you all with his love & healing.
Am thanking God, through this Novena, there is a light towards starting my own family.
My granddaughter has 2 job interviews on thurs!! My Novena was for her to find a teaching job!! God is so good!!
On June 30 my younger sister left her three children to serve time in federal prison for 3 years. Over the last 10 years she has strayed far from her faith. I told her I would pray for her everyday and so when this novena came up, I prayed it for her. Through communicating with her via email, she told me that she went to church last Sunday! It has been years since she has gone. God is so good! I will continue to pray for her that she returns back to the Father. Amen!
I prayed the St. Anne Novena and before the last day, God answered my prayers. My tedious dissertation work, the new apartment I was searching for, and my other private intentions, all sorted.
. My daughter was nearly missing her exams due to ill health. when i talked to saint Anne. She improved and the next day she went to school with no attack.
I found my misplaced driving permit.
Two people whom i was praying for because of misunderstanding and they developed hatred for each other are finally meeting together now. Please saint Anne intervene and take control over forgiveness.
Thank you for praying for me.

I was having some issues at work with my boss who is SVP relocating. I was worried about my job position and what they were offering me was not what I wanted. But soon after the feast of St. Anne and St. Joachim, there was an agreement between us and my job is secured and am happy with the outcome. I praise and thank God for his mercy and goodness.
This is a prayer answered for the Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Two years ago, my uncle divorced his wife of 13 years. He planned his wedding to his new partner for 25 July (last weekend). This matter really concerned me – my concern was for his soul – Jesus said he who divorces and remarries commits adultery. My discomfort over this caused me to keep my distance from him. After praying the novena to the Sacred heart of Jesus, praying for God’s will and asking for guidance for my uncle in this decision, my uncle cancelled the wedding! God is so good! Since then I have spoken with my uncle and delivered the message God meant for him and this has brought us closer.
Thank you for sharing this novena. I try to pray every one that you send us. May God bless you for being such blessings!
Thanksgiving to God for granting me and my family a reunion after 1 year, we had a wonderful summer holiday together and this has greatly change my wife positively . All thanks to God for His great love. Thanks to Anne and John Paul for this Novena prayers it’s has it changed alot in my marriage.
God bless u all who prayed this Novena for my intentions as well.

I have prayed novena after novena since August last year when my mother was diagnosed with stage four cancer. All seemed lost and after two complicated surgeries, chemo and being told she would not last the night in February, lo and behold, she is on the mend and learning to walk again. I pray in all my novenas for her recovery and one day being declared cancer free and in the St Anne novena added prayer for break through in my planning application. The day after starting the novena, the consultants informed us that mums tumors had shrunk by 60%. Alleluia! Having finished the novena, I received a letter on Monday from the planning department suggesting I make some alterations in design. It appear that subject to amendment, planning will be granted. Thank God our loving father, thank you Jesus the fount of infinite mercy, thank you St Anne & St Joachim and all the Saint I have invoked in every novena in this period. God definitely answers our prayers…some take a lot longer like, but the miracle is only greater when all seems lost.
I did this novena last year. I was alone and wanted to find someone to share my life with. So I prayed asking to meet a nice man, someone who loved me and I would love him.
After few months I moved to a different country and on the same day of my arrival there I met him. This year my prayer changed and I asked that everything goes well on our wedding and married life.
I had been out of a job for six months and my last option was the fast food restaurants. I started praying the novena and on the second day i got a good job that the company itself never hires outside the company they always promote within. I’m very thankful for this opportunity and totally devoted to St Anne.
I thank God for answering my prayers and I believe miracles are yet to happen. First for dissolving the financial crisis that I was going through on the forth day of praying St. Ann novena.
Second,for opening my eyes and directing me to the man my heart desires as my husband. Third, changing my parents’ idea of arranging someone whom I din’t love to marry me. And lastly for the promise He made to me to join my husband soon. Thanks to St. Ann.
In the last novena i asked God to provide us a place we can call our own and it came to pass just on monday.THANK YOU lord for answered prayer.
I want to thank God for what He has done through this Novena of St Anne. School hoildays is usually a difficult period in my family because of my child with a very challenging behavour. One of the intentions was for God to help me manage the sitution this time. I was very distressed when I went to work yesterday as this child was with a minder alone for the first time. When I got home, I noticed the Lord had strengthened the minder who is now happy to take care of my child during this holidays as we hold on to God to manifest His complete deliverance/healing and restoration of my child from the assult of the evil one in line with His word in 2 Timothy 4:18.
To God be the glory. In Jesus name. Amen.
I was praying St. Anne Novena for the safe and healthy pregnancy of my daughter-in-law. She is two and a half months pregnant now and all the tests seem normal. As my son is a slow learner we had fears whether our grandchild would be a normal child. Now we feel confident that God will grant our wish making Preeti’s pregnancy a safe and healthy one and blessing us with a healthy and normal grandchild. Thank you for praying with me. Thank you St. Anne and St. Joachim for your intercession.
Thank you for this opportunity to get our troubles to God through the intercession of the saints.
I prayed the Sacred of Jesus Novena requesting for the gift of a soul mate and eventually holy matrimony. That was my first time ever praying a novena! At the end of that novena, I was asked to remain hopeful. So when the St Anne Novena came up, I immediately started it with same request. Second day of the Novena, a friend of mine called to inform me she has a friend who is looking for a wife. We immediately got talking and he is really a soul mate! Thank you so much and Thank God for answered prayers through Sts Anne and Joachim!
I prayed for my sister’s marriage. Her husband was not speaking to her. But Before we finished praying the novena, I prayed that God make him speak to her, and God did. Thank God for proving he is still on the throne.
God bless!
My wife had applied for a senior position, and we had fasted and prayed for God’s grace. During the course my praying the St Anne’s Novena God answered our prayers. My wife received a call confirming that she got the job and she will start on 1 August 2015. Thanks to St Anne, St Joachim and to the Jehovah Jireh.

I was so happy that finally I have found my soul mate but it was so hard even know it is hard to accept that he is no more. I was crying each and everyday at work every-time when i went to bed. I kept asking myself this question why me! why know! You in life when you lose someone who really meant the world to you its so hard to let go. I kept praying everyday that God should strengthen me that i should have faith that one day it will be well again.

I Mary visited the church of St.Anne in Canada with my
husband and two friends two years ago. I prayed very hard to St.Anne to take away my pain,and I drank her holy water and I stopped taking my strong pain killer since.That was a miracle in my opinion. Thank you St. Anne. I always thank her for helping me.
Thank you all. Prayers continue to be answered. Amen
i prayed for my daughter to pass final exams for standard 6, she really passed well and I continued to pray throughout the novena for a good job, it is today that i have received a call to attend interviews this coming friday for the first time this year.
thank you so much St Anne and Joachim for the novena…may the good lord Jesus Christ continue the job he has already started.
During the course of this novena, God exposed the man behind the crisis in my office and within a short while, my business witnessed an unprecedented patronage. Glory be to God, thanks to Saint Anne and Saint Joachim
I start the novena for my difficult with my darling.at the last day of my novena Ste Anne permits that my darling call me for result the problem.I want to say my grateful to God and to Ste ANNE
I have been trying to reach an old friend but no way. Everybody refuse reasons he is now a big(rich) man. One faithful day this friend called me and promise to visit that a friend of his said I have been trying to reach him.
Am just happy and grateful to St. Anne because it was in this novena that he called me
God answered one of my prayer requests during the St Anne novena. I asked in addition to other requests for job opportunity for my siblings. On the 6th day of the novena a friend walked into my office and I told him about her, he requested for her cv. On the 7th day of the novena she was called for an interview and by the following Monday she resumed work fully,even as she has not completed her NYSC (youth service corps). Thank you St Anne for this one great favour.I bless the name of the Lord.
After praying the Novena I exchanged phone numbers with that special person. He called me, and communication lines have been open I am trusting God to do the rest. I am so grateful and now pray for Gods will to be done in our lives according to the word that he gave to me that I will get Married.
Thank you St Anne and all that joined in the prayer. God will give you your own testimony.
Hi, I would like to thank you for giving updates in Novenas to pray. I am very much thankful for answering my prayer during the last day of the Novena. I have been saved from our company as a financial consultant. Since, its almost a year that i had no client to close. But as a request to St. Anne. My two sisters gave me a closing. So im saved . thank you!
I thank God for blessing my sister with a job after praying the Saint Anne novena, I thank you Saint Anne for praying for my sister to get a job and I trust you to pray for me concerning my promotion at my place of work to God. Amen.
Am very thankful to the St Anne and Joachim Novena. I had several prayer requests and when i prayed this novena one of the requests that I wanted got answered and am very happy.
God is good all the time! I dedicated the Novena to all expectant mothers and few days into the prayer St Ann obtained a safe delivery for my niece SharoAnn! Praise the Lord!
God answered one of my Novena intentions through the Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (our Novena before Novena to good St. Anne) by giving me a job. I continue to Pray and hope He will answer and grant my other intentions.
Immediately we started the novena I was told I will not be writing a supplementary exam in a course I was supposed to write. The number of students who passed the course was less than 10% pass rate. So the university authority tried all they could to increase the pass rate and I was among those whose exam mark will be considered and I had a passed mark in the exams.
Also my friend has been robbed twice in less than 3weeks gang star areas but thank God he was not hurt. I will really like to thank everyone who joins in the pray more novena for praying with me. May God Bless us all in JESUS name !!!
During the Novena of St Anne, my brother M who has been unwell and for whom I have been really praying for went for medical tests and found out that he unfortunately has a major problem in the liver. This brought him down and he was beyond grieved. He has not been attending Mass or anything for many years. As I write, he is attending an Inner Healing Retreat in a catholic retreat center here in Nairobi and I sort of feel that this is the way Our Lord is calling him back to the Sacraments. We continue to trust in JESUS for the total healing of body, mind and spirit for M and for us all! Please help me in continuing prayer that he may be healed in body, mind and spirit totally. Thank you St Anne!!!
During the novena i prayed that God should avert the shame and embarrassment that might come due to the debt i incurred in my company. It was answered and i still pray for a way out…. Thank you St Ann.
On the 06/06/2015 i lost my fiance,i though that the was no life for me, i told myself that without him i am nothing, but then again i asked myself this question why should i always get hurt when will this suffering end will i life a life of sadness and sorrows for the rest of my life…. But i never ended praying I ve joined the St Anna Novenas Prayers. Monday morning a man approach me and told me that he want’s us to start a family together. After 3 year of being parted. Today i want to thank God you took someone who really meant a lot in my life and then again you bless me… From today i am asking you to guide me in everything i do and in this relationship i am going to let myself in..God bless
Hi Anne and John I just want to register my happiness and share with you what God has done for us. Even before I started this novena on 17th July, my prayers had already been answered. My son who has been paying our house rent since his father passed on on 7th October,2013 just stopped paying our rent from February without any good reason to do so. He closed us from his life not knowing what was happening. I continued praying for him and doing Novenas especially for St. Rita and on 7th July, 2015 he sent us money which I could not believe. the following day he called to find out if I did receive the same. I glorify the good Lord who will always hear our prayers even before we request. For St. Anne I have seen miracles here and there. I have a shop which has not been doing well for the last 3 months. On 25th July, after the last day of the novena I got work so much of it and now I know that St. Anne who is our grandmother will always continue praying for us to her daughter Mother Mary and to her grand child who is our Saviour Jesus Christ. Be blessed for making us become prayer warriors. God bless you abundantly.
Monnie
Found another house we can afford,after we lost the other because of money,We are believing St Anne for finance to pay the bills and Trusting God that their is no issues of evil/ fraud with the house,Amen. Thanks
I prayed this novena last year asking God for a true husband. Guess what! my friend whom we had separated for more than 12yrs came back asking for forgiveness and for a hand in marriage. I am glad he’s truly changed and we will walk down the aisle soon.
My cholesterol was very high and now after praying it is become normal. Praise the Lord.St Anne and Joachim may ur prayers and blessings come to all who pray to u thank u God.
I was praying for my daughter to get a full time job,on the third day of the novena it happen,at the same time I am praying for her cout case ,domestic violence and harassment from the ex-husband and his defacto wife ,and hopefully she has full custody and peace.thank you.
Everything is possible with God.I believe God has already answered my prayers through St Anne
All my prayers will be answered am very confident in Jesus’s name through the intercession of St. Anne and Joachim.
My husband asked for apology and there is peace once again in the family. I was looking for a house keeper, I have just got and I am praying for success of my children in their studies. I prayed for peace, transparency and oneness at my work place.
My two friends to conceive
i prayed that my partner get a job so we can begin our life plans and start a family. Two days after the end of the Novena of St. Anne he got a job and i believe this is the beggining of great things. I praise the Lord for he has been kind to us both.
Iam not even sure which novena but everytime we finish one,Ihave noticed a change in Tanner,Thank you Jesus as they had given Tanner less then 2 weeks to live,and that was before Easter yet ,praise God he is still here with us.Tanner has gained a little bit of weight,and is eating better,we keep praying so that maybe even in fall he can return back to school again,grade 10 and some grade 11 classes.God is very good to our family,and we pray so that Tanners parents will return to church,and Tanner can get to know Jesus better,his personel savior who is helping him so much.Thank you so much for all the novenas that we are all praying.Therese.
Before adopting our daughter who is profoundly deaf, I prayed often that she would be able to hear. Once we were all home, we discovered with hearing aids, she can actually hear very well. I never thought to pray for her to be able to talk and assumed that would come with hearing. Even after a year and much therapy, she wasn’t even trying to attempt making sounds. During this novena, around day 4 or 5, she really began making new sounds during her therapy sessions, and with a little more encouragement, she’s been making much clearer sounds and attempting nearly everything we ask her to. I know St. Anne had much to do with it. As a matter of fact, we were unsure of what her saint name would be, but after learning her surname (created by orphanage) was An, we decided to keep it! What a wonderful gift her patron saint has helped us gain with our precious daughter!
I want to thank God for His mercies and favors.
I prayed the St. Anne prayer asking as one of my requests visa to the United States for myself and son for his medicals.
On the 23rd, we were granted visas.
Thank you St. Anne and St. Joachim for interceding on our behalf.
Thank you Jesus.
Thank you all for the prayers, i had been praying the last Novena of St. Ann in order to get a new job, and on the 6th Day of Novena, i received a phone call that i got a new job….I thank St. Anne for hearing out my prayers.
God is great.
Praise his holy name forever.
I prayed to St. Anne that my elder sister would get married this year, and on the 2nd day her boyfriend took her to paris and proposed to her and she said yes! And guess what? She met him while she was praying the St. Anne Novena a couple of years back,(they met on the last day of the St. Anne Novena)….
I’m thankful for Answered prayers and still praying that the unanswered prayers would be answered….
Thank you St. Anne and St. Joachim. Thank You Lord #Gratitude
My daughter had been looking for a job for almost 3 months. One of my intentions was for her to get a job. She got a call Monday and is now employed. I am most thankful.
I started the novena for turn around in my business and my daughter to be healed of a persistent fever. My daughter is healed and ‘magical’ is the only word I can use to describe my business now. It was answered prayers in both cases. Thank you Saint Anne, thank you our lady of perpetual help, thank you Infant Jesus, thank you Holy Spirit, thank you God the Father. May the Trinitarian God bless the organizers of this pray more novenas. Amen
God is good all the time, God us faithful.

I prayed for my third daughter who has bee having communication issues with the family members and on the last day of this Novena she came home and opened up freely.
Thanks you St Ann .Thank you St. Joachim.
Praise our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ. Praise God. Amen
I’ve been praying for many years for my beautiful property (50 acres) in Costa Rica to sell. And for as many years for God to destroy all curses and evil entities and forces from within and around me, my daughter and my divorced husband. For God to have mercy on us, bless us with reconciliation. For me to own my own home. Please pray with and for me. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
I started praying St Anne’s novena in June, and decided that I would pray it again on July 17. On the last day of the novena I was feeling very sad, I went at night to a random church, where I haven’t been for almost a year. When I entered, I said to St. Anne “I wish I could see your picture in this church, St Anne, although I know that I never saw one before in any church.
I looked at the wall behind the sacrament, and guess what was there on that huge wide wall?!!???? A big painting covering the whole surface, of the nativity of Mother Mary!!!!!!! An amazing piece that has been drawn during the last two years!! St Anne giving birth to Mary and St Joachim next to her!!!
I cried tears of Joy!! I couldn’t believe what I saw!!!! She accepted my prayer, has not answered yet, but I’m patient , God is Great!
Thank you St.Anne & St. Joachim for my answered prayer. This coming Aug.15, I’ll move to my new place which I waited for more than 2 years. Thank you for all the Blessings I received for your intercessions.
My prayer for my daugheter to get a job was answered on the 7th day of the Novena to St Anne and Joachim. I have never prayered to these saints before. I am happy that I have subscribed to these novenas. Thank You St Anne and St Joachim.
During this novena I prayed for my daughter who is (many years) lapsed from the church, I am visiting her in Greece and was so shocked when she offered to not only take me, but to come with me to church and said a decade of the rosary with me for a friend in need. I thank St. Anne for her holy intercession and will continue to pray for that little spark to ignite in her heart with a longing to come back to the Church.
Praise God for your novena emails.
I have not prayed the St. Anne novena before, but my prayers were answered today. My daughter is cancer free. I will pray to her in thanksgiving. I have been praying to many saints for this favor, we are all so thankful. Prayers do work.
As I joined this Novena I prayed for safe delivery by my daughter and daughter-in-law. As I write my daughter delivered safely on Wed 22nd July and daughter-in-law delivered today Tuesday 28 July. Thank you St Anne and St Joachim.
I prayed for grace in my job. During novena prayers my boss summoned me to his office for an issue I was innocent about and he put my meeting first on his ‘to do list’ that day. He was angry with me. I listened quietly until he finished. When I gave my side of story he sympathised with me and our relationship grew stronger. I took the opportunity to explain about my burning issues. He has already instructed management to look into my promotion issue! Can’t wait for the next novena to complete the process! I also prayed for a friend who had been badly injured in an accident with internal injuries. God has worked wonders and the person is out of hospital! Thank you for your prayers!
I prayed that my daughter, who is almost out of money, would find someone to sublease her apartment. She found someone on the last day of the Novena. Thank-you Saint Anne!
I received a call offering me the job I have been praying for before the end of the novena .
Thank you St Anne for your intercession on my behalf to your most holy daughter Mary and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
I have been looking for a full time job since I graduated in 2014. It’s been rough, living so close to the edge, and fear of being homeless. I have maxed all my credit cards. Last week, I used the last couple dollars to have someone review my resume professionally. I am hopeful that I will get a job, please pray w/me. The novena prayers was the first time in 2 years I have prayed, so, even if I don’t have the job I desire, am grateful, that I have began a habit of praying every morning and night time.
Part of my prayer was answered.Thank you St Anne. I keep praying.Thank you all who have shared in my prayers.
Lifted up in prayer to St Ann a friend who did not know who she was 2 weeks ago put in a mental facility at age 27 and now 95% cured with medication. Thank you St Ann
I had a very bad pain in my knee and found it difficult to walk long distances unless I took a pain killer , once I started the St Anne’s Novena ,the pain has lessened very much and I am not on any pain killers, with the grace of God and St Anne’s intercession I know it will leave me altogether. Praise the Lord.
My son got a job one week after I started the novena to St Ann and my son and daughter in law are going thru an adoption. Praise God for answered prayers!

A thank you for organising and producing these Novenas. It is great when there are 200,000 odd people praying together for the good of people and the world.
God Bless you with the peace He promises to those who love Him and who do His Will of promoting His Good News.
My husband and I had been having trouble getting pregnant. We tried for a year and were unsuccessful.
I prayed the St. Anne novena for our intentions, and I found out on the feast day of St. Anne that we are pregnant! The power of prayer is amazing! God is good!
I prayed this Novena to St. Anne asking her intersecion for a friend’s mother. She had severe heart problems and the Doctors thought it might be too late for surgery. On day 7 of the novena, my friend’s mom was ready to go back home after open heart surgery and valve replacement. She is doing great. Thank you St. Anne and St. Joachim for your intersecion.
The situation with my mother in law being put in a nursing Home and her going from a mobile active person with many interests and a love of outdoors to a rapid decline which began a few days after she was admitted to weeks being bedridden and unable to even feed herself in less than 3 weeks. My cries to bring her back home with us fall on deaf ears. I wish to tell you that we received a miracle and Mom found her will to live and got her strength back but sadly that didn’t happen. I know St. Anne heard my sincere prayers so why is this happening? One day while visiting Mom I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. As I leaned back against the wall in her room and closed me eyes I softly whispered, “Is that you?” This is what came to me “What if this is God’s will?” but I wouldn’t let myself believe it. I pushed it out of my head. I continued to cry and plead with anyone who would listen saying, “This is wrong! This is wrong! I had a routine doctors appointment. When my doctor asked me how I was I started crying and said, “Do you really want to know?” He listened to me list all the things Mom could do while still at home and how quickly she lost all of it when she was put in the nursing home. He told me this could be God’s will. I cut him off with “no it’s not God’s will because if it was I wouldn’t be trying so hard to help her.” He told me I might be trying too hard. He told me I have no control over this so maybe I should let it go. I dropped by the church on my way home. I prayed to St. Anne. I told her the novena is over but that I would continue to pray to her for Mom. Pope Francis wrote in The Joy of the Gospel: “Reason alone is sufficient to recognize the inviolable value of the human life but if we also look at the issue from the standpoint of faith, “every violation of the personal dignity of the human being cries out in vengeance to God and is an offence against the creator of the individual.” I believe St. Anne is telling me, “Yes I heard you. I understand your grief. I’m touched by your sorrow.” She says, “Trust Our Father. He always has a plan. You’re prayers are being answered. Continue to encourage, love and be kind to your mother in law. Continue to spend time with her and say the Rosary with her every night.” Pope Francis also tells us that God appreciates it when we are kind to others. He reminds us how greatly God appreciates our kindness towards one another. This kindness is a tremendous reparation for our sins. I wasn’t always so kind to Mom when she lived with us these past 6 years. Sometimes I lacked patience or got upset over something she said or did. Now I wish I could go back in time and just love her unconditionally, to simple accept her good or bad. God is helping me make amends as I suffer with Mom through this injustice that’s been done to her. Thank you St. Anne for your intercession to the Father for me.
