  1. I have a friend with a history of sexual abuse as a child, and who has been in a lesbian relationship for the past several years. I offered this novena for my friend and her partner. My friends circumstances and lifestyle have distanced her from the Church. We spoke this week and she agreed to take a huge step in the direction of chastity and healing. She sounded very content and at peace about everything. My friend spoke with her current partner about the changes she wanted to make and her partner was very supportive. Truly, an answered prayer with St. Maria Goretti’s intercession!

  2. Our Lord God has granted me peace of mind and i feel much more closer to Him now. God indeed hears and answers our prayers. Thank to St. Maria Gorretti for praying for me.

  4. Thank You, St. Maria Goretti for interceding to God for my Peace, Strength and Comfort as I go through a physical trial(neck and back pain issues).

  5. I started praying this Novena because we are having serious financial issues. I prayed for an answer to our troubles & for whatever it was to make my husband happy. Yesterday, on the ninth day of praying, my husband got an email about a sales position opening up within his company! He had already been in talks with the sales department about switching but was just waiting for an opening. He immediately sent his resume and is waiting for them to schedule an interview! I’ve never had a prayer answered like this before, but I’ve also never prayed like this before either. I don’t know for sure if this is an answer to my prayers but it sure seems like it!

  33. I was really struggling with knowing where my heart was and what God’s Will for me was. A new prayer that has brought me so much peace and clarity through this Novena and the previous Novena has been: “Father, align my desires with Your Will and give me the courage to seek it fearlessly.” I cannot begin to describe the peace and clarity that has come over me in recent weeks. I am so emotionally grateful for these Novenas and the wisdom I continue to gain in praying them.

  34. St Maria Goretti, I would like to thank you for restoring my family and giving us another chance for happiness, that did not happen yet, but I am not giving up, I will persevere and continue praying novenas to every Saint , especially through Jesus and Mary, until my prayers reach God’s heart and then I know he will grant me the miracle of our Paul’s return, save and protect my family and give us a grandchild from Paul and Blanca our Emmanuel
    Thank you St Maria Goretti for praying for me, I know you did

  35. I am grateful that my prayers were answered. My son passed his exam and got into the school of his choice. He also accepted the results modestly and is showing great concern and empathy for others in his class that were not so successful, which was exactly what I prayed for. Thank you St. Maria Goretti for your assistance.

  36. Dearest St. Maria Gorretti, thank you for the many miracles you have obtained for me these 9 days???? especially, I completed 6 hours of housework with lots of dust and dirt exposure and I was aok. This may mean my 6 month disabling asthma is under control (I ask for a miraculous cure,) and I am ready and able to accept full time employment. I ask you to be a patron of mine. I love you, Maria!

  37. I know my body was touched by a trusted person when I was young. I have suffered from the residue of this experience with eating disorders, fear of love from one who is my equal, fear, fear and fear. The person needs my forgiveness and I need to forgive myself, and to live the rest of my life with zeal, joy, freedom and a wholehearted belief that I am loved- the inexplicable unrequited love not from what I can give, what I look like or don’t look like, who I am – that Greater Love I desperately need to know that I’ve been told by religious my whole life exists but I have not yet been fortunate to receive.

  38. My 14 year old autistic son has been spending more time with the rest of the family. He is out of his room most of the day. He is still not in school and is still anxious when he has to go out of the house.

  39. My prayers have been answered in so many ways. My son found a home for his family. I will to continue to pray for him to be blessed with wisdom whenever he has to make decisions for his future. and that his big giving heart will always be rewarded with love and happiness.

  40. Thanks to St. Maria Goretti for being a fine example of how to lead a Godly life. I praise Yahweh for answering my prayers and those of all his people through Christ. Amen.

  41. My son in law got a very good job. The whole process started while I was praying the Sacred Heart Novena and concluded in the midst of praying St. Maria Goretti Novena.
    Thanks to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to St Maria Gotetti for their intercession.

  42. Thank you St Maria Goretti for helping us have more faith in God and healing our wounds. Continue to pray and help my son to be able to forgive to have peace and love for one another.Thank you everyone who was praying this novena

  43. Most of my prayers are being answered. I continue to pray for the health of my daughter who lives with diabetes. She continues to be healthy and strong. Financial burden seems to be going away. I do need to continue to pray that my son finds his soul mate and spouse. He is Lonley and ready to settle down and raise a family. I also continue to pray that all my children are safe and happy

  53. I’ve been praying for my children. My daughter hasn’t been making the best decisions. I’ve been praying for her to begin making them and for her to become more responsible. She made the choice to hang out with friends from work who have families instead of going with college students to get drunk and act ridiculous for the 4th of July. So, proud of her and her decision to be more responsible. Answered prayers are coming from heaven!

  54. Dear St. Maria Goretti, please ask Jesus to bless and keep safe our son as he prepares to depart to China to study this Fall. Please bless him Spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally.

    Thank you.

  55. I was sexually abused by my own husband during the 1st wedding night.. I didn’t report that since I was very ashamed. My ex- husband was the abuser & very hateful man. He hated his own children for their success in the USA. Moreover he & his entire family are practising a black magic. Ver frequently my daughters heard him speaking to someone in the bathroom.Since the day we departed from him strange things took place in our life – a lot of strange insects, misfortunes, stains on our new clothes, stolen money, jewelry, clothes, horrible ordeals & people with strange eyes followed us. We were under satanic attacks. Now I know that my ex- husband sold his soul to evil, as well as his immediate family members.
    We converted to Christianity, go to the church, pray. Especially the Prayer Against Every Evil.
    Please pray for my both daughters Alexandra & Darya & myself Lyudmila. Ask Lord Jesus Christ to stop the satanic attacks caused by my ex- husband Iosif, my step- mother Sara & my half- siblings whi became also demonic.
    Please pray for us fir our lives without interference of the evil spirits, demonic doctors & neighbors.
    Thank you.

  56. I asked for prayers for my son Francis to get a job today he signed the job offer and now has a job. I give thanks to God

  57. This Novena to St. Maria Goretti came at the most perfect of time for my family. Just about a month ago my little sister was raped by another man. Thankfully she was OK other than being raped. The guy didn’t hurt her after but let her go.

    Just this week and through this Novena, praying for my sister and for my family has been a blessing. This week we got notice that the police will be arresting the guy and taking him into jail for questioning. Received justice and time for fort and healing for us.

    Another thing St. Maria did but for me was one of the days I had asked to to heal me from my sickness of mono and the next day I was 100% better and just left with a cough.

    Thank you St. Maria Goretti!

  58. Praise the Lord!
    I have been dealing with debilitating sciatica back pain. Supposed to get in injection today and surgery in the future. Very apprehensive about that. Unbelievably the pain has decreased significantly. I am beyond thankful!!!

  59. My nephew David has been doing really well ever since he finished treatment for his alcoholism. In fact, he is still receiving treatment as he is faithfully attending AA meetings twice a week. Also, he is getting back into the workforce. God IS DEFINITELY WORKING THROUGH HIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SAINT MARIA GORETTI! My friend who suffers from MS has not been getting any worse. When we were in prayer together recently, an angel visited us in a very strong way, causing her little dog to bark at said angel, whereupon the angel laughed at the dog. I did not see the angel, but I felt him; I believe he was the Archangel St. Raphael. So much is in store for my friend Melonie. It has to be, because Raphael was not paying us a visit just to say hello. He was letting us know that Saint Maria Goretti is making intercession before the throne of God, asking Him in Christ’s Name for a breakthrough health-wise for Melonie. PRAISE THE LORD! GLORY TO GOD. HE ANSWERS PRAYERS WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF HIS SAINTS IN HEAVEN!

  68. When I was 13 my Godmother gave me a St. Maria Goretti relic that I still have to this day. I have known her story for many years and was thrilled to see the novena. Yesterday after praying the 8th day, I reached into an organizer and pulled out a bookmark and was surprised to see a St. Maria Goretti prayer on it. I don’t know where the bookmark came from but it made me feel that she was still watching over me and my family. I smiled and said, thank you.

  69. Glory to Jesus…
    I thank God for a positive change of habit, I asked for this petition first at the novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and I mentioned it in this novena too. I prayed that I should stop a terrible habit and change for better, I discovered I ceased to do that habit and sometimes I don’t even think of it and if I do I can successfully move on without doing it.
    Glory to Jesus…

  70. I pray in Thanksgiving for these Novena’s. Prayers for all who have been praying to have their prayers answered according to the will of God.
