Though i can’t think of an exact way I have seen God answer my prayers throughout this novena, I do know that it has been awesome to take part in this prayer…we are all one body in Christ…One in the spirit as well…this became so evident when the intentions were things that were often on my mind and perhaps God had put them on my heart as well and I had not known it yet until I realized how eager I was to prayer for the different intentions each day as thousands of other brothers and sisters were too :- ) Thank you for this novena!
My prayers were answers. I pray the novena for the youth program i coordinate and many things came to light. One of my prayers was for a situation in the office and God revealed the truth and it was taking care of. God is good.
Tank u lord for d joy n hope u’ve given to me.Its unshaken.Yestaday’s novena ws wondaful.Lord,thou i stil av a request,i rely on ur will totally.Amen!Don Bosco,pray for us!

May God Bless you all. Please keep me in your prayers and I will pray for you.
Thank you very much John Paul, it is nice to pray these novenas with you and all. I appreciated this novena to John Bosco, to pray for youth and offer hope to the world and the situations of our lives. I am in the middle of change and relocation, with visa work etc. and I found great peace and gone is all the worry that would usually accompany such, so I thank God and the peace I found through this novena to St. John Bosco.

I am glad for everyone that their prayer requests were granted…and for those waiting and wanting, we, I will be patient and still. Thank you again from the depth of my heart and soul. I love Jesus, My Lord, My King, and My Savior!
Hello Mary
may the intercession of our Blessed Lady May be with you always and the love of God lift you up and live in your heart.
Thanks for all the prayers you the family of praymorenovena community have offered since the start till the end of this novena. Though it might seem that some of our prayers have not been answered, i want us to have an assurance that God The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit through the intercession of Don Bosco and Our Blessed Mother Mary all our requests have been heard. God’s time is the best. Just to share with you,during homily a priest told us that there are three answers from God Yes, wait and even No is an answer from God and that moment tears started flowing from my eyes having thought why i never realized this all this time i had been praying and that moment i acknowledged he was right and i felt so peaceful after mass.
May the Love of God and peace be with you always
Praying this noverna for the last 8 days has taught me two very oimportant lessons; daily pray is very important as we pray for healing in pour lives and for the needs of others that are close to us and need our prayers for healing and may insight.
The second lesson is that we give thanks to God daily for the blessings and good things he has give us in your daily lives. Start each day with these prayers: lordy make me a blessing to someone today”; Help me treat others the way I wish to be treated; Help me put the needs of my family and others before my needs.
Dick what a wonderful Prayer may all your prayers be granted our prayers are with you
What a wonderful Novena!!! I felt God surrounding me every day as I prayed. Last night I heard my 7 year old praying and singing songs of adoration, he ran upstairs to me to tell me God had spoken to him, told him to follow His path, and to become a priest!!! What a way to end this Novena and begin Catholic Schools Week. I ask you pray for my young, little one. He is overwhelmed and full of joy. He can’t wait to go to school this morning to tell his teacher, principal, and our priest!
May Our Lady guide him, protect him and pray for him all of his days! :) Thank you God and John Bosco!
Bernardette

It’s my pleasure to join you in every novena. Right now, I’m still waiting and continuously praying for my intention. And would be doubly happy to share it with everyone. I’m still requesting everyone here to join with me in prayer, I know that Jesus loves me and He will make a way for me and you.
Looking forward for another novena. Thanks a lot.
Retina my the Lord bless you and keep you may peace be in your heart

Please pray for my family and I. I am a single grandmother trying to save my grandhildren from foster care, and am desperate for financial help to raise them. I have a decent job, however, with an additional 4 children to raise with no savings, I’m in serious need of help. God is Great. God is the answer!! I have faith!!
I have just prayed for you that Lord God helps you to raise and provide for your Grandchildren. It’s so kind of you to want to take care of them it is justified that you receive the help you need. May God Bless.
Thank you so much for your kind words of inspiration. I really needed to hear some words of encouragement as time is approaching quickly when I pray they are with me.
Sharon I will pray for you too and for your grand children, I find that no matter how hard things get God is there for me and I believe that he will be there for you too and already he is because your grandkids have been blessed with someone who loves them, who is there for them and who is strong and who is worried enough to pray for them, I thank God for you and God bless you and them now and always!
Thank you Amanda. I thank God for people like you kind eno9ugh to care!! God Bless You Always.
May our blessed Lord be with you and remember you are always in his everlasting arms he will never let you go
I’m praying for you too, Sharon!
Thank you JD, at this time, I could not have too many loving ,caring people as yourself praying for me in this desperate time. God Bless You Always.

Hope is the operative word. I’m afraid I had lost it all when God sent this gentle reminder that He is always with me and all I need to do is call out in love. Thank you so much for this blessed ministry !!!
Bev thank you for your Hope
Ask the Blessed Mother to be your match-maker.
Jenny, what beautiful thought! Who would want better for us than our Mother?! Thank you for this post!
Thank you for sharing these novenas with so many. Allowing ourselves pause in our hectic lives to be with God in prayer and knowing so many others are joining us opens our hearts to Him. I pray for all that we remember, in our intentions, to pray for acceptance through faith. God’s grace be with you all.
Hello Charlene
yes we need time in our lives to stop and pray in our busy lives, may we always give the time for prayer .
I keep on Peaying! All in God’s timing in the mean time I keep praying novenas and falling in love with Him! Our maker!
May the Lord Keep you and bless you always.
i am praying for our young people, for all those thinking of suicide, or all those suffering from depression, Don Bosco was the patron saint of the youth and he loved them, when he was nine he had a vivid dream when a bearded noble man appeared to him and said, “you will win friends not by blows but by showing compassion, kindness and joy”, a lesson to be lived by in the present time. Thank you Don for your intercession!
Amanda
I too pray for all people especially the young with depression and aanxiety may the inteercession of St John Bosco be forever with those who suffer
We have a full-time ministry that is really suffering right now for funding. We have been praying for God’s abundant blessings these last two days. My children and I were praying last night for that specific thing since my husband was gone presenting an evening. An hour later, a knock on the door. It was a friend delivering a check to the ministry! Thank you John Bosco for you intercession during this time of trusting in God’s Providence.
This is very inspiring Mary. I pray my prayers are answered this way. I have total Faith. Thank you.
Hello Mary What a gift from God!!!
throough the intercession of St John Bosco your prayers were heard
sending love Joy and Peace to be with you always
Thank you St. John Bosco for your intercession and our answered prayers.
Peaise the Lord in thanksgiving
John-Paul,
Thank you very much for praying for me and with me these nine Novena Days to Don Bosco. By Jesus’ design, so far, my son, Baldwin has shown no signs of returning to our Catholic Faith. I have faith that my son is on his way back into our Faith.
God Bless you John Paul and God bless you with Himself in your marriage.
Don Bosco intercedes for your brothers and sisters.
John Paul our Prayers are with you and St John Bosco’s interession will alwayas be helping you in your petitions.
Pray that our youth will allow God into their lives to guide their souls and their minds toward the light and away from so much temptation! I pray for my Greg, David, Kim, Lindsey, Zac, Noel,Arend, Luke,Kylie and Kaitlyn, and Kenzie.
A very special prayer for Amanda who is 4 months in recovery and fighting like crazy to make a sober life for herself against all odds. She has a car, but is struggling with getting it retitled, registered, inspected and 4 new tires. We will buy the tires. Please dear God and our blessed Mary allow this beautiful young woman to get that car safely on the road so that she can continue working and paying her bills. She is only 20 yrs old and has no parental support at all. Please take care of her, I pray, she is trying so hard! Pls pray with me for Amanda and God’s will for her.
I hope that everything will come soon to her, with everyone praying and have all the faith in God it will come true. I will also have her in my prayers.
Good luck
we pray for you for Amanda and with the intercession of St John Paul and our blessed Virgin <Mary always keeep you in there care.
Each day as I have prayed the novena, I felt the presence of God. I thank you John-Paul for your inspiration in providing these novenas to us and I thank all of the people who have prayed the novenas. Together in prayer we can do great things for others and for those in our families that are in need. God bless you all!
God Bless you Mary my prayers are with you for these Novena.s may we continue to pray them.
let’s keep all your prayers for all the soliders who are serving worldwide as well keep in your prayers of all the families who has lost a service men & women, all the families who has soliders that has returned back wounded and injured.
and ask St. John Bosco to forgive all the sins of the world.
and intercede my prayers for world peace.
May our Prayers alwayas be for the soldiers and st John Bosco’s intercessiion be with all old soliers too
God bless our military men and women that serve and represent our America. May God’s love, peace, and mercy keep our soldiers and their families strong in this time of need.
I really enjoyed praying the novena these past 9 days. It really changed my outlook on the things my husband and I are praying for. The part of the novena that asked St. John Bosco to pray for “a sincere acceptance of the will of God and a perfect trust in him” really helped me see that regardless of the outcome of our present situation I needed to trust God because he was going to take care of us regardless. And I really believe St. John Bosco’s prayers helped accomplish this.
Hello Beth c
So glad you enjoyed this Novena
may the intercession be always with you of St John Bosco
i thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed upon me.
Praise the Lord
This has been very special. St. Bosco is important in my life. I prayed this novena and during this time we finally heard word that our little grandson does not have cystic fibrosis. In fact, we heard this on the last day of the novena. I believe St. Bosco asked the Lord to let us know to end some heavy anxiety. So, thank you! Still praying for young adults in my family who are straying away from their Catholic Faith or who have been away so very long. Will and must keep praying. Thank you all for joining me in these prayers..it is so comforting to know you are there! Suzanne
Suzanne,
We also have family members who are straying away from their Catholic faith and have been away for so long. I understand how you feel. I will pray for your family.
Donna
May St John BOsco intercession help your petitions
I firmly believe that the Novena of St. John Bosco is powerful. Thanks for sending me this retreat as I needed to pray for my grandson who has been struggling in this world. After the novena, I can see the prayers are helping him stay focused on what he must do to lead a good and moral life. All our young people need the intersession of St. John Bosco in their lives. I have a special devotion to this Saint.
Lala
may the intercession of st John Bosco always be with you.
Thank you to St. John Bosco and to all the Saints we have asked for intercession in lifting our petitions to God Our Father. I had minor surgery last week and during this time I flat-lined twice. I attribute my safe return to life to all our novenas. God answers prayers. His love is so immense and I am blessed.
Praise the Lord, Wifi
I praise God for all the edifying comments and prayers answered, what a great community of prayer for each other. God helped me with patience, kindness and perseverance. He also helped me to see growth in a person I’ve been concerned about.
Hello Mark
it looks like your prayer has been answered let us praise the Lord together
Praise God! Praise St. John Bosco. In the middle of the novena I experienced horrendous sciatic pain down my right leg which I had never before experienced in my life. It hit at bedtime and left me unable to walk. I felt like a cripple and could only take a pain pill and wait for it to releive my pain while my husband helped the children to bed. I started praying that my pain would diminish. I visited a chiropractor yesterday and today. Tonight after five nights of having to take a pain pill my pain is nearly gone! I am only using a heating pad and can walk. Thank you Dear God! You always, always help me and give me hope!
I have an inner healing after this novena .let all the intensions of every one come true through this novena
Thank you to St. John Bosco for your intercession for all people especially the young wiyh depression.
