Thanksgiving – 8 February 2025

1. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,   

Thank you that my prostrate procedure was successful. I was able to go through it with your help.

 Your Son.

2. Dearest Mother Mary,

I thank God for my loving family and relatives, and for giving me strength and motivation over the past few years. I have been thankful for each blessing from our Lord. He has given me food on my plate and loving parents.

Your Loving Child.

3. Dear Mother,

No words can express the gratitude that flows from my heart for all the blessings that your Son, has bestowed upon me and my family. Last month, I celebrated my 80th birthday with my children and grandchildren. At this age, God has blessed me with good health.

Your Ever-Loving Child.

4. Dearest Mother Mary,

I thank God for blessing me at work every day. My colleagues are patient, helpful, supportive and understanding towards me, and are happy and impressed with my work. Through your intercession, I have confidence and belief in myself.

Your Grateful Child.

5. Dearest Mother,      

I thank God very much for all the opportunities He has been giving me and my family. Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings you have bestowed upon us, and for good health and peaceful mind.

Your Loving Daughter.

6. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,      

Thank you for your intercession in guiding us, especially my daughter in settling so well into Primary 1. A few years ago, we were told that she has ASD. We were shocked to learn that she is autistic, as she does not display any discernible signs.  We came to Church to see you every Saturday and my daughter would go to the front and pray since she was 4 years old. We have witnessed this miracle happening, and she is now in the main stream.

Your Grateful Daughter.

7. Dear Mother Mary,

A big thank you for your care all these years of my life, from the time I was a teenager till today a senior citizen of 66 years of age. I prayed for a good Catholic husband and today we have been married for almost 40 years.

Your Loving Daughter.

8. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

I would like to thank God for giving me back my old job. And thank you for your presence in my life.         

Your Loving Children.

9. Dearest Mother,

I am writing today to express our gratitude in assisting us to have my husband’s accident claim settled. After a long battle of 2 and half years, the case has come to a close and we finally received our monies yesterday. Mother, all praise to you and your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who have made the impossible to be possible. You have made a way when there appeared to be no way. You have kept your promises and honour your word to see us through in every detail of the case. Thank you for not leaving us alone. 

Your Loving Daughter.

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

24 years ago I came to your shrine to pray for your guidance and intercession on settling down with my then girlfriend. I asked you to give me a sign that she was the one. The sign became apparent when we journeyed together on her RCIA. We were baptised and I proposed. I am very grateful to you and our Lord, that she is now my wife of 22 years and has walked with me on my life’s journey as my spouse and confidante. In our marriage, there were periods when I was very stressed with work and poor in health and close to depression. These periods were difficult times for me, as it is for my wife. She is always there for me, caring for me, and never giving up on me, in addition to stepping up and taking care of the children, whilst managing her work. When I reflect back these 23 years, I am deeply grateful to you and our Lord, for sending her into my life. She is not just a wife but a guardian angel. Thank you, Mother, for your kind prayers and intercession.

Your Grateful Son.
