  8. A close friend of mine had been estranged from his children for about 45 years. I tried every kind of communication possible to reunite them, but nothing worked until I prayed the St Anne’s Novena. Last year we had a meeting to discuss the misunderstandings and now he is not only in touch with his family but loved and respected by them as well.

    Thank You St Anne!!!!

  9. I prayed te St Anne’s Novena for years, but when my sister became very ill a few years ago, the Novena took on a new meaning. My sister had every kind of cancer you can imagine. We do not have longevity in our family, but my sister lived the longest (75) and died cancer free. She lived a distance and I sent her St Anne’s oil repeatedly. She used it daily and it worked. Thank You St Anne.

  15. My mother is devoted to Saint Ann’s Novena every year faithfully attending daily for two weeks. I struggled through nursing school being an average student my whole life. There was a time where I was on the borderline of failing. Attending Saint Anne’s Novena. Jesus spoke to her in her thoughts. Told her I was going to pass even if its barely. But I will!!! I remeber waiting after my final to see if I had even passed.. I received a phone call from my professor I passed. Her words were “Barely”. God works in mysterious ways.

  17. I began praying the St. Ann novena for 9 days on 01/24/2016 to 02/01/2016. I felt hopeless before I began praying this novena because my relationship with the man I love was hanging by a shredded piece of thread.i kept praying and began seeing progress in my love life. And on the ninth day that happened to be my birthday he surprised me with a gift from himself and from his mother. I beleive that with faith in God all things are possible . And the faithful intercession of his saints avail much. Thank you God your son Jesus the Holy Spirit, all your faithful saint’s prayers including St. Ann and helpful angels presence and assistance

    • Hi, could you let me know what all you did, cause my situatiopn is similar to yours and i need my love back…you can e-mail me.

  18. I went to my church to pray the Novena to St. Anne this summer. It runs for nine days and ends on the feast day of St. Anne and St. Joachim. I prayed to conceive a beautiful, sweet, healthy baby. We already have three daughters, but had a loss three years ago. This loss had left me so sad. Even after the nine days I continued to pray the novena prayer almost daily. I printed it and hung it on my closet door and also had a copy in my car. So time went by and I started to change how I looked at life. I started to see pregnant women as a sign that it would be my turn soon and also I kept a journal of all those women I came across that were pregnant. I started becoming happier and more hopeful. I went to a school event with some friends and had a great time, when I got home I decided to take a pregnancy test…it was positive. After going to the doctor they told me my due date…July, 26. That is the feast day of St. Anne and St. Joachim. True Miracle! Thank you God and please help this baby continue to grow healthy throughout my pregnancy and help me to give birth to a healthy baby!

  19. I want to thank you for your blog and the novena to St. Anne. I am a divorcee who has been single for some time. I tried dating, and quickly realized that I dislike it as much now as I did back when I was single 23 years ago. I finally gave up dating a few months ago and felt a huge pull back to my faith. I started praying and found your novena. I started the novena, asking specifically for God to bring to me a practicing Catholic man, who has/had children, accepts that I have children, and ultimately will love me and my 5 accessories.

    Six days later, I received a request for a second date with a man I had previously been out on a date before. He is a widower, having just lost his wife two years ago to cancer. After our first date, he realized he wasn’t ready yet; still grieving. I told him to take his time and reach out to me when he was ready to try again and that’s where he asked me to dinner again.

    On our third date is when it clicked for me. This wonderful man has children. This wonderful man understands that I have children and accepts that I go into mommy mode sometimes and he has to share me with my kiddos. This wonderful man accepts me for who I am and the situation that I came from. This wonderful man IS CATHOLIC, and he is actively participating!

    We’re taking things slow, but I cannot begin to give thanks to God, St. Anne, St. Therese, St. Jude & St. Raphael for interceding on my behalf to God and hearing my request.

    I pray that we continue to blossom and grow, that our relationship continues the way it began and that eventually we join together as one. I still continue to say the novena periodically, requesting that our relationship continues to blossom and grow together.

    Thank you so much for the novena, I pray that we continue to grow together and let God lead us.

  20. Thank you St. Anne for prayers answered. I prayed that you would bring my true love. A year and a half later I am engaged to be married on 10/24/15. If it were not for you, I don’t think I would be this lucky. Thank you!!

  21. I want publicly thank St. Anne for hearing my prayers and bringing my petition to my Lord God. My darling daughter is now pregnant without any medicines or procedures. Words can not express my gratitude for this wonderful blessing. St. Anne, mother of our Mother Mary please pray for all the women out there that so desire to become mother’s that need your help.
    Mother Mary
    St. Anne

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you until infinity

  22. Praise God!
    It was for the first time I did St.Anne Novena for a Sister in Christ who was getting delayed in getting into her marriage vocation. I Thank God for showering HIS grace on that sister though the intercession of St.Anne. She is getting married this September. Thank you St.Anne, Thank You my dear Jesus, my Lord and my God.

  23. Hello – sorry it took me a bit to reply. I was very busy in prayer. I prayed that my son got the job he had applied for, that my sister’s marriage some how be saved from divorce, and that cancer would not be in my lymph nodes. I had small cancer tumors removed along with my thyroid on 9/10/14. YES, my prayers were answered. My son got his job as a CNA at Colorado University Hospital, my sister and husband are trying to make things work. No divorce filing and they are both making and effort to stay married. My pathology cancer results came back clean, no cancer spread to lymph nodes. I continue to struggle with my voice due to the thyroid removal, but I am thankful everyday to be cancer free. I am sure my voice will return sooner than later. Thank you St. Jude for answering my prayer and for all you do for my family and others.

  25. All Praise & Thanks Be To God..

    I joined in to pray a couple of Novenas in this prayer group..

    I desperately wanted my son to successfully get registered in St Gabriel’s Primary School and by God’s grace it was successful & he got in..

    I know it wouldn’t have been possible without God.. I Thank God for this awesome Novena Prayer Group..

  26. I thank St Anne, for being so prompt in answering my novena to her on behalf of my daughters. Both have now meet two very nice men, after years of not meeting any one they could share with, let alone have an ongoing friendship.
    Please St Anne, still keep them in your prayers, so that it is God’s will which will be done, in their lives, just as it was for your daughter Mary and for Joseph your son in law.

    With my deepest thanks giving to you St Anne for this answered prayer.
    Sheila

  27. We prayed for God to bless me, my brothers and sister with marriage partners, that I be healed from any symptoms of infertility and fibriods (my monthly periods were very painful with prolonged and heavy bleeding) and for others praying the novena to be blessed with their intentions. After saying the St Anne’s novena I noticed that my next period was without any pains, very little flow and lasted for just 5days unlike before when it extends for as much as 11-12days. God is faithful. I thank Him for others who received answered prayers too and for the other aspect of my request I believe it has been answered and very soon every one of us my brothers and sister will be blessed with suitable spouses. Amen

  28. I prayed for a credit card dispute to be resolved after 3 months of waiting and was issued a credit back to my card a few days after the novena. Still waiting on meeting a good Catholic man :)

  29. Prayed the novena to St. Anne to have a lost teaching stipend reinstated before the beginning of the school year. This was a substantial sum for us and would have seriously impacted my social security benefit. Classes begin on Tuesday; I received word this past Thursday afternoon that an “extra class had been found for me”. Praise and thanks to Jesus’ grandmother for the answer to prayer.

  30. After praying the St. Anne Novena for my son and granddaughter, My granddaughter will be coming to get a family picture with us. I am so pleased with the outcome of my prayers. I pray she will continue to spend time with her dad and us in the future. Thank you St. Anne for answered prayers. Please keep this one coming.

  31. After two years seeking a job in law enforcement, my son was called with a job offer the day after I went to St. Anne’s Shrine, and shortly after praying the novena! Thank you all and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for hearing our petitions and his grandmother’s, Saint Anne! I know she will look after him, and ask Jesus to also, in this difficult profession!

  32. I prayed for our wedding ( July 25), that everything would run smoothly, that all that our attending be safe as they travel back and forth… And St Anne granted my prayers. Thank you , thank you, thank you!

  33. I want to thank God for what he has done to His little angel.during the Novena of St.Anne and Joachim i was praying for a young boy Zanzu who was suffering from kidney problem he underwent the first operation and he was to go for the second operation just the time we started the novena but he didn’t underwent the second operation because of the powerful novena and doctors have given him a clean bill of health the kidneys are functioning well with no problem the boy is out of hospital.I want to thank the everyone who prayed for this small boy and I thank God for everything.Thanks be to Jesus praise be to Jesus.

  34. Thank you to all who participated in this novena. My prayer was partially granted. I am facing severe financial problems and was facing foreclosure on my home. Thanks to all of you, St Anne and of course our savior. I have been given an opportunity to save my home. I think God is granting my prayers in gradually to teach me to handle my finances properly. Again thank you all for you prayers. I will continue the novena’s with the group. Thank you Jesus for helping me.

  35. I was praying for my daughter to get a second job to have a another income because she is not making enough money to pay her monthly expenses. However, The temporary job that she works has offered her to come on permanently and has offered to pay for her health Insurance. Praise God. Thank you ST. Anne, Thank you Jesus.

  36. I had an interview for a teaching position on Thursday and I received a call from the principal about 2 hrs. ago that I will be recommended for the position. Thank You St. Anne for answering my prayers. GOD is great!

  37. I dont know which novena I was praying because I try to pray all of them. My daughter and her husband were married five years and hadnt been able to have a baby. We asked God for a baby in prayers,well we were having Thanksgiving dinner when we received a call that someone was giving a baby up for adoption and they wanted my daughter and her husband to have it.Well in March he was born and is the best blessing our family has received,he is five months old and we just adore him.Thank the dear lord for him everyday!

  38. Thank you St. Anne for granting my prayer. My daughter got a bronze medal in the International Mathematics Competition in Singapore. It really means a lot to her. Thank you very much!

  39. Thank you for St. Anne Novenas. I have been praying for my 3 sons to attend Sunday Mass and now they are attending Sunday Mass. Please keep my 3 sons …Benjay, Delasius and Rionel that they will continue to attend Sunday Mass. Thank you St. Anne.
    God bless everyone praying the Novenas

  40. I prayed to St. Anne, Mary, and God for guidance on whether or not I would marry the person I was dating. I loved him very much; he was such a gentleman. However, I found through prayer that God had another plan for me. We separated, but I have the wonderful peace of mind that we will both be rewarded for the great sacrifice of leaving each other because we did it all to serve God. All is for the glory of God. <3 I prayed "Lord, show me your will for my life, and help me to desire it." With the help of my new friends from the Face the Truth Tour, God held me in the palm of His hand.

  41. I AM THE MOST EXCITED PERSON TODAY, I WANT TO SHARE MY TESTIMONY WHICH MEANS A LOT TO ME, I DON’T HOW TO THANK GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS AND MERCIES. DURING ST. ANNE NOVENA MY MAJOR PRAYER REQUEST WAS FOR GOD TO CHANGE MY HUBBY WHO WAS LED AWAY BY HIS FRIENDS INTO HAVING MARITAL AFFAIRS. THESE AFFAIRS MADE HIM NOT TO CARE FOR ME AND WON’T CONTRIBUTE TO THE FAMILY EVEN FEEDING. I TOOK EVERYTHING UPON MY SHOULDER. JST BEFORE THE END OF THE NOVENA, HE STARTED TELLING ME HOW MUCH HE LOVED ME AND OUR MORNING PRAYERS NOW HE ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS AND TO KEEP AWAY FROM HIM ALL HIS BAD FRIENDS. I HAVE SEEN CHANGES, HE IS ALWAYS HOME LATELY, HE NOW BUYS EVERYTHING AT HOME, HE EVEN MADE HIS ACCOUNT OPEN TO ME AND JST THIS MORNING AS WE PRAYED, I WAS SO TOUCHED AND I CRIED SILENTLY BECAUSE OF WHAT HE SAID. HE ASKED GOD TO PLEASE TELL HIS LOVELY WIFE “HE LOVES HER SO MUCH”, THAT HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN HIS LOVE FOR ME, HE WAS PRAYING AND SAYING THESE WORDS. WHAT CAN THE ALMIGHTY GOD NOT DO, PLEASE BREATHEN, PRAISE THE LORD OF HOST FOR ME, HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN.

  42. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

    During the St. Anne Novena I was praying for the baby my daughter is carrying that she would stop spotting and be able to carry this baby. My daughter has stopped spotting 4 days ago and her and her husband have rejoiced and thanked God for their blessings. Thank you all for saying the Novena to St. Anne. The parish that I was married in was St. Anne that was my parish most of my life and when I made my Cursillo I sat at St. Anne’s table. God speed.

  43. After 8 years of childlessness, I just discovered that I am pregnant. My husband and I are still in shock. Even though it was not my specific intention for the St Anne Novena, it was part of it and I still remember Day 8, the day that prayers were offered for couples trying to have children! The journey has been a long one and in addition to St Anne, I must not fail to acknowledge her daughter, our mother of perpetual help who has been with me all the way.
    God bless you all for your prayers.

  44. I have just recently again started to pray the rosary every day. My friend encouraged me to do this along with following your Novenas. I thank St. Anne for hearing my prayers along with Our Holy Mother Mary who has a direct line to our Lord Jesus. My 17 year old grandson has a tumor in his
    shoulder, this news was devastating for us all. He had a biopsy done and thank God it was benign. He still has to have surgery done to remove this tumor which will be major. With your thoughts and prayers I know it will
    be a great success.
    There is power in prayer.

    PRAYS TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST

  45. I prayed to St. Ann for my other half to be called back to work. He had been laid off for the past 6 months. We received the call today–he goes back to work on Monday. Thank you St. Ann!

  46. I PRAYED THAT ON OUR 48TH ANNIVARSARY WHICH WE WENT ON A THREE DAY TRIP THAT WE WOULD HAVE A GREAT TIME….AND WE DID….PRAYING IS THE BEST THING ANYBODY CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES….IF ANY OF YOU HAVEN’T HAD YOUR PRAYERS ANSWERED..PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP…GOD BLESS .

  47. we prayed together for my daughter and her husband to have children after seven years of marriage. My daughter already had three miscarriages and there seemed to be a big problem to get pregnant again but today I had the good news that my daughter is pregnant. Thank you St. Anne & St. Joachim and please keep your hand on her all the way not to have another miscarriage.

  48. Thank you Saint Anne for taking my (our) petitions to the most holy one our Lord Jesus. I am blessed to have my prayers answered. We have been living in our motor home and I prayed for the right people to purchase it so we could purchase a new home. Within a week after the Novena it sold and we close on our new house in 2 weeks.

  49. I prayed that my 14 year old son would be helped with making new friends as he has a hard time with socializing. Remarkably, during that week, not only was he invited to hang out with a boy from school but we also had his friend here overnight, I hadn’t even known about this young man from his school!

  50. I prayed that I would be free of my chains that enslave me. This summer I have been living it up and consuming alcohol on a daily basis. While it may only be 3-4 beers, I come from a family of alcoholism so I absolutely know what that can quickly lead to. On Saturday, I didn’t have a drink, then Monday, then Tuesday. Usually I start the urge for a beer around 4pm but never got the urge all week. Inspired by my new found “freedom” I went back to see when the last day of our last novena was to St. Anne, it was Friday! God gave me the strength I needed to be in control!!!! Amen!!!!! Prayers answered!

  51. In the course of st Anne novena and in days following, one of my sons who never takes an initiative to call me, called to inquire how the family was doing. Then we discussed about his continued unmarried situation at 32 years of age. I felt it was a grace granted through the intercession of dear saints Anne & Joachim. I will continue to pray with a firm faith.
    Please continue praying for all my 5 children to find God fearing partners soonest and be married in the catholic church.
    Iam also hopeful of renewal of my job contract and my Emmanuel is showing signs of deliverance and healing, i believe with time i will post the good news.
    I thank God with my whole heart for connecting me with such prayer partners like you!
    God bless you John-Paul & Ann with abundand blessings!

  52. i prayed for a little girl whose father was categorically against her going to convent.. at the end of the novena, the father openly and willfully accepted that she goes to join the religious life.

  53. St Ann answered my prayers with the help I needed for a large project beginning soon. Thank You St Ann!

  54. Thank You St. Anne. My petition was praying for a future husband and I am still praying. I prayed that if my current bf was my future husband, that we would become closer and more in love with each other. However, on the 9th day of the novena I became confused and did not have a good day. I said something negative to my bf out of anger and he in turn became more upset with me. The whole argument was due to a lack of communication in the first place. Before the end of the 9th day(at nighttime), we talked and we were on better terms already. The next day we both apologized to each other again. 2 days after the novena, we spend the whole day together and bonded together. He brought up the subject of marriage again and got real specific on when to get married. Thank you again St. Anne, I still continue to pray and still waiting on getting a new job to replace the one I have now.

  55. Answers to my prayers began to unfold on the last day of the Novena. Currently working in another state all I can think about is getting home to my family and friends.
    I was led to an opportunity that wasn’t at all
    what I thought I wanted but may be he best thing that could have happened. It’s moving forward .. Gods will be done!
    Praise God!
    Thanks Saint Ann!!!

  56. I didn’t think to attribute this miracle to St. Anne, but reading other’s stories, I just realized I got a miracle!

    I was praying for clarity/discernment in my relationship with my boyfriend. We have been waiting for his annulment (dating as carefully as possible) and out of the blue, the annulment was granted on grounds we never anticipated. The ex-wife was a baptized Greek Orthodox so we went from having a minimum of 5 months left in the process to having the annulment over and done within 24 hours. It was so far out of left field that it could have only been God’s grace to bring it about. And now, I know it was also through the intercession of St. Anne! May she continue to pray for us as we now can truly move forward and discern marriage.
