Thank you, St. Jude! My husband and I both start our new jobs in the next few days!!! I was also thankfully able to see my brother over Thanksgiving, who I have not seen in a long time since he is in the Marines. Please continue praying for us and for my other intentions!
The answer to my prayers to St. Jude and all the saints came this past weekend when my husband was here for Thanksgiving…we’ve been apart because of his job. He’s been pretty sure that he wanted our marriage to end. But when I finally gave it all up to God’s will, our conversations started to bring me hope. And over the weekend, he told me that he was willing to try again to keep our marriage together. He saw changes in me that I have only obtained with God’s help and decided that it’s not the end. We still have a long way to go but I am uplifted by knowing the power of prayer because it was only through prayer that this miracle could happen. Thank you St. Jude, and all the saints who are by our sides…and of course to our dear Lord.
My situation is like yours but my husband did not leave me for his job we seperated 9mths ago it has been hard we argued and this is not Our first this is our 3rd time and he says he wants to talk to me we have a daughter and she does not want us divorced but he tells me to move on but he calls me So please what do I need prayers and St. Jude I need you and a miracle.
Thank you St. Jude. My husband finally has a job after being unemployed for 1 1/2 years.
I finally received good news regarding a lawsuit I am involved in that I was told was going to be extremely difficult for me to win due to several mistakes made by my former attorney. After the novena, things took a turn for the better, even surprising my current attorney. My present lawyer said he has never seen anything like this happen in all his years of practcing law. Thanks to St. Jude for your intercession. Praise be to God!
Thanksgiving for healing of friends.

Thank you St Jude giving me a book that I have been longing for to have. Annika Terese in Sweden.
Well, the answers to my prayers are either “no” or “wait”
Although hard to take, I will.
As I said in my blog: “God can indeed work miracles and does so quickly, but the human beings he uses are sorely limited in their ability to manipulate time and space”
please bring him back
It took a few weeks after the Novena concluded. Little things or phrases I would see or hear that I felt were purposely directed to me. I have found calmness and peace with my situation. I pray that everyone else has found clarity, understanding, and peace in their respectful situations. Many blessings to you all!
