Petition & Thanksgiving Letters

1. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for granting our daughter in UK (who gave birth yesterday) a healthy baby boy after three miscarriages and after 2 days in the labour ward in UK. He was indeed a miracle child as the gynaecologist had confirmed it. Thank you Mama Mary.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your continued blessings to our beloved widow mum. Last weekend she had a wonderful time celebrating her 80th birthday with many of her siblings, extended family and church friends. Please keep her faith strong and grant her good health as you have always done so watching over her, keeping her safe, free from loneliness, surrounded by loving families and friends yet ageing well. With a grateful heart.

Your loving daughters.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

I am overjoyed that my recent chemotherapy treatment, although at 50% dosage, managed to further reduce my cancer marker from 110 to 89. My recent CT scan result was also very encouraging. These encouraging results are only possible because of your blessings and intercessions with Jesus.

Your Eternally Grateful daughter.

4. Dearest Mother Mary,

With humble hearts, we come before you in deep gratitude. You heard our prayers in a time of uncertainty, and through your loving intercession, our properties were sold - a true miracle in these challenging times. Your presence has been our comfort, your grace our strength. Thank you so very much.

Your Catholic daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you so much for helping me find a job. I have been looking for a stable job since March 2024 since I graduated and could not get any call backs. I was constantly receiving rejections. I had already sent over 150 resumes with purely rejections and zero call backs. But somehow miraculously I got a call for an interview in October for a resume I sent on 9 Oct. Shortly after I received an offer. This definitely is because of divine intercession. Thank you, Mother, for always praying for me and asking Jesus to help me.

6. To my dearest Mother Mary,

My heartfelt thanks to you for always being there to intercede and help me with my problems. I came to your shrine regularly and begged you for intercession to help me with my family issues, I sought for peace and love in my family, for no more fights between my children and my husband. With patience and trust in you, I knew you would help me and YOU DID! My children and my husband are now at peace with each other. No words can express my gratefulness to you, Mother Mary.

Your Eternally Catholic Daughter.

7. Dear Mother Mary of Perpetual Help,

I come before you with a grateful heart, thanking you for keeping us safe and alive through the difficult days of influenza A. Thank you for all that you do for us, for your constant care and protection. Even when medications help, you remind us that trusting in you is the greatest healing of all. Thank you for always watching over us, being our place of safety, and guiding us through everything. Amen.

8. Dearest Mother Mary,

I cannot thank you enough. It is with my most sincere thanksgiving heart that I thank you for keeping me safe during a major surgery to remove a tumour in my abdomen. Thanks to your intercession, I am recovering well now and the preliminary reports of the 6cm tumour is that it’s benign. I have come to treasure life and its challenges, whatever it may bring. And I pray I will continue following in Jesus’ footsteps, with the strength from God and my faith in yourself, Mother Mary as my role model. Thank you, Mother.

Your loving daughter.

9. Dear Mother Mary,

I am very thankful to you for listening to my petition few months ago when I was newly baptised. My grandson, who was very bitter about his parents ' divorce, was reluctant to meet up with my son and myself. In addition, his character also changed drastically, he became very aggressive and love to use vulgar words when he was angry with someone. Just recently, not only his attitude towards us changed, he has finally agreed to meet us for an outing. We had an interesting and joyful meet up with him last week. My son and I were extremely happy! Really appreciate your kindness for this.

Your grateful daughter.

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

I would like to thank you and your beloved son our lord Jesus Christ for all the blessings I have received in my life. I am very grateful for the path you have created for my daughter. She was offered a job in a prestigious law firm after she graduated and has been working there for nearly 4 years. Once again, a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am also truly grateful that I could retire at the age of 56.5 as my medical condition of multiple sclerosis prevented me from working. I am thankful my son is doing his final year in NTU. I am blessed to have a loving and understanding husband who is working and also volunteering in different ministries in the church. Continue to guard and guide our small family of four in our lives every day.

Your loving daughter.

1. Dearest Mother Mary,

We are writing this Thanksgiving letter with a heart full of gratitude and joy. Through your heavenly intercession, God has granted our daughter the strength and clarity of mind to see the true nature of her partner before it is too late. We place our trust and hope in God and pray that He will continue to protect and guide our daughter in all that she does in her life. We believe that He will provide her with the very best in His time. Once again, thank you Mother for your kind intercession.

Your forever grateful children.

2. Dearest Mother Mary,

Recently I wrote a petition requesting for God's protection and comfort as my husband underwent a slew of tests, scans, a MRI and a biopsy to determine if he had cancer. We placed everything in God's hands and trusted Him. We just found out this week that the results were positive. However, I thank God with all my heart that it has not spread, and it can be removed fully via surgery. I know that this is only possible through God's grace and love. We continue to trust God and pray that He will protect and heal my husband fully. We also pray that the surgery will go smoothly and be a success. Thank you once again Mother for your prayers and kind intercession.

Your faithful Catholic children.

3. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you that my colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures had proceeded smoothly. Apart from a few polyps, the results were also fine. I am grateful that all is well.

Your ever-grateful Catholic daughter.

4. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession to your Son, Jesus Christ. My loved ones & I are blessed with good health & protection.

Your loving daughter.

5. Dear Mother,

Many thanks for helping my daughter get a job. It’s been very long since she got a proper job in a proper environment. This is your powerful work of intercession. She is safe in your hands. Amen.

6. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for being there for my family and me always! I’m forever grateful for your intercession and protection.  Amen.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

It has been 14 months since my uterine cancer diagnosis and surgery. During my last checkup, the doctor found that my CT scan and ultrasound results were normal. Thank you, Mother Mary, for being with me, and my husband who's caring for me, throughout this challenging journey. We could not have done it without Jesus, and you interceding on our behalf. You have always been beside us. Please continue to pray for us unceasingly for courage, good health and peace in our life journey.

Your grateful daughter.

8. Dearest Mother Mary,

I want to thank you sincerely from my heart for your intercession. I ask God for forgiveness for my mistakes, and not to repeat the same mistakes ever. I pray for the grace to do what is right and to repay my losses especially to my wife and son. Please continue to guide my daily life as I’m struggling alone with mental pressure, depression, and sadness. You are the only person I have cried to lift me up. Love you dearest Mother Mary.

9. Dear Mother,

I asked you to pray and intercede for my wife to find a new job. Last week she received an offer for a new job. I am very thankful dear mother for your prayer and powerful intercession. Please continue to pray for her so that she may find kind and friendly colleagues in her new workplace. I think her new job will be quite stressful, please continue to pray for her.

10. Thank you for your intercession, protection and love, Dearest Mother. I would be lost without you.

In gratitude from your Catholic daughter

1. Dear Mother Mary,

I thank God for giving me patience and endurance. All this time, I was afraid of not being able to move forward with my life, and He gave me the courage to step out. Today, I have secured a good job and I am very grateful. Thank you for your intercession.

Your grateful son.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for interceding for me during my cancer journey. Thank you also for interceding for my dad’s legal case; he has received a much lighter sentence. I pray that you will continue to intercede for my family for peace and blessings.

Your grateful daughter.

3. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

I’m very grateful for your intercession. My house was sold within two weeks after sending in my petition. The journey has taught me to have faith and trust in this time.

Your blessed daughter.

4. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for helping and protecting my wife and me to experience a humbling spiritual Marian pilgrimage to Rome, Lourdes, Fatima and Portugal in October this year.

Your loving son.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

I came here for the first time in 2024 to pray for my son about his depression and a big issue concerning his future. You have so graciously listened and interceded for us. I am so grateful and thankful. You have increased my faith tremendously. Please continue to be in our lives every day and bring us closer to your Son, Jesus.

Your loving daughter.

6. Dearest Mother Mary and Jesus,

Thank you for blessing my daughter-in-law with a smooth and safe delivery of her premature baby boy on 28 October. My daughter-in-law is back home, only the baby is still in NICU requiring breathing support. I seek your intercession to bless the baby with good health.

Your Catholic daughter.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession in helping my daughter overcome stress, anxiety and distraction during her end of year examinations. She has done well and we are grateful to you.

Your grateful daughter.

8. Dearest Mother, thank you for your prayers. I am blessed with a job so that I can support my family. I also now have a new diet plan so that I am less hungry every day.

9. We would like to give thanks for the intercession of Mother Mary for the birth of a lovely baby boy after 7 years of marriage. The journey to conceiving was difficult and we faced a lot of judgement from even our loved ones at times. The year before, my parents went to Perak to my late grandmother's hometown. They visited the Catholic church she went to as a child and asked for Mother Mary's intercession there. Shortly after, we found out we were expecting. We are thankful and remain faithful to the Lord for His blessing for our boy. Praise be to God.

1. Dearest Mother,

Thank you so much for praying for our children and keeping them safe. I am truly grateful for all the blessings and graces. They have come a long way. I trust that you will continue to pray and care for them.  Thank you, Mama Mary, for everything.

2. We would like to give thanks for the intercession of Mother Mary for the birth of a lovely baby boy after 7 years of marriage. The journey to conceiving a baby was difficult and we faced a lot of judgement from even our loved ones.  It got very difficult for us to attend festive gatherings for fear that we would be asked intrusive questions. Last year my parents went to Perak to my late grandmother's hometown. They visited the Catholic Church my grandmother went to as a child, and asked for Mother Mary's intercession there. Shortly after, my father had a dream that I would conceive. A few months later, we miraculously found out we were expecting. It was so surreal for my husband and me. We are thankful and remain faithful to the Lord for blessing us with our boy. We would also like to honour Mother Mary for her special intercession for us.  Praise be to God.

3. Dear Mother,

Thank You for hearing my prayers that all the remaining hostages in Gaza would be released. Please continue to intercede for Gaza so that it can be rebuilt and be governed properly, and there will be peace in the Middle East.

Your loving daughter.

4. Dear Mother,

I write this letter with a profound sense of gratitude and thanks. Three weeks ago, I came to your shrine to pray for my father who has many health issues. I prayed that his health will be stable. His health checks since have all been within normal parameters for his age. You have always interceded for him. With a grateful heart.

Your Catholic daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

I was on the verge of losing my daughter some years back. I am very grateful and thankful for your intercession to God. Now she has turned over a new leaf and she is going for further studies. Please continue to intercede for my daughter, that she will come back to the Church. Thank you, my dearest Mother.

Your grateful son.

6. Dearest Mother,

Since July end, I have been seeking your intercession and attending Novena to seek the Lord’s guidance about my current career in my organisation. These past few months have been plagued with uncertainty, worries, fears and unknowns. However, as of last Friday, I made my decision to leave the organisation after 21 years. Though the road ahead is uncertain as I have not found alternative employment, I heard your voice telling me to do the right thing and to follow your guidance. I sincerely thank you, Mother, and your Son for guiding me all the while, in doing the right thing for myself and for my family, and to leave this organisation with dignity and my head held high with a good payout. I know that the Lord has a plan for me and I know that He will open another door for me when this door closes. Thank you, Mother, and your Son. Your Catholic son.

7. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Succour,

Thank you for keeping us safe and healthy during our recent holiday to Bhutan. Thank you for the new friends we made and for the enjoyable time we had during our trip.

Your loving daughter.

8. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession. My son has recovered and is back in school today. It was a muscular pull, and not heart or lung-related. My eldest has completed her 2 midterm papers. Mother Mary, thank you for watching over them. May the Lord continue to lift them, heal & restore them.

Your loving daughter.

1. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your prayers for my sister, who passed away in May. Thank you, Lord, for granting her a painless and peaceful death, with little suffering. Dear Mother, please continue to pray for my sister’s soul. I hope that she is happy and at peace in heaven.

Your beloved daughter.

2. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

After a very long time I am writing to you this thanksgiving letter. 2 years ago, I lost my 25 years old daughter, who loved you and your Son Jesus very much. We were devastated by her death. However, with God’s mercy and grace, we’re coping with life again, believing that she is with your Son Jesus. Thank you for all your prayers, Mother dear. After her death, my family has become closer to one other. Thank you for this blessing too. You held us tight in the biggest and worst storm of our lives.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

I turn 70 years old today. Thank you, for all the graces and blessings that I’ve received from God through your powerful intercession. You have been with me and my family through all the joys and trials of life, especially when my wife went through chemotherapy. Thank you very much, Mother Mary.

Your loving son.

4. Dear Mother,

Thank you for your kind intercession to your Son. I was informed about 9 weeks back that my current job may be made redundant. I was troubled, confused and felt betrayed after being in this organisation for 21 years. I wrote to you seeking your intercession, and my petition letter was read out last week at the 10 am Novena devotion. Just this week, I got news from my HR that my role is still needed and intact, though it is downsized and reporting to a new superior. I am grateful and thankful for your kind help, Mother, and to Jesus. 

Your Catholic Son

5. Dear Lord,

This is a long overdue thanksgiving. 11 years ago, you cured my husband of cancer, when our kids were very young then, and we were shaken and broken. We persevered through his chemo treatment, and he got well. Looking back, we never truly realised that it was only through your grace that he recovered and is still with us today, to be there for our boys and me.  Help us to be truly thankful and be more loving and patient towards each other.

Your grateful daughter.

6. Dear Mother Mary,

I thank Jesus for guiding me and my husband and giving us good health during our Camino Walk and our ‘pilgrimage of hope’ in Vatican and Rome recently. May we always focus on our spiritual life and share the love of Jesus to others and always be humble.

7. Dear Mother Mary,

I come to you to thank you for your intercession, love and companionship throughout my journey in motherhood. When I miscarried my first child, I prayed for your intercession and God revealed to me to think about the heartbreak you went through when you lost your Son. At that point, I remembered saying to myself "Oh she's had it worse, but she still kept the faith." That was what kept me going. During my second miscarriage, Mother Mary you told me to "Listen to my Son." Each time I pray and ask for your intercession, you continuously told me that. Right up to Oct 15, the day of International Infant Loss Awareness Day - I found out I was pregnant. I couldn't believe it! It was like a miracle! I thank you Mama Mary for always pointing me to Jesus, and being a companion in my journey. Thank you for your endless love and support. I could never have done it without you. Thank you, Mama Mary. Please continue to intercede for my pregnancy this time.

8. Dear Mama Mary,

Thank you for answering our prayers. My father-in-law was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in May 2025. My husband, children and I started attending weekly Novena for his conversion His condition deteriorated as he stopped chemotherapy. It was too painful for him to tolerate. He was eventually admitted to Assisi Hospice. A few days later, he said he wished to receive baptism. He was baptised just before he slipped into a semi-conscious state later that same night. This was the Feast Day of St Carlo Acutis. He passed away peacefully on Mon 13 Oct - Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. Thank your Mama Mary for interceding for us. God has moved mountains to make possible what seemed so impossible.

Your loving daughter.

9. Dearest perpetual mother,

Thank you for taking care of me during this sudden silent illness where I had become so weak due to mental exhaustion. I felt death approaching me and was drawn into deeper depression then. I have slowly gained my strength and started to become stronger now with your grace and healing. I felt your son’s embrace, holding me and carry me through these very scary moments in the past few weeks. This would not have been possible without your prayers for me and with me, mother of mercy. Despite all my anxieties, you have taken me through my difficult moments with peace and remove fear of what’s to happen. Thank you for keeping my family together thru all.

Your ever-grateful child.

1. Dear Mother,

I come to you in humble thanksgiving. My previous request for your intercession for my brother who was desperate for a job in IT has been granted. I am glad and grateful for your intercession dear Mother. I have also asked you to pray for my wife who went through surgery to remove her fibroid. The operation was successful, and she has recovered very well. Thank you once again.

Your grateful son.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

Forty years ago, it was you sweet mother who showed me to your Son Jesus Christ, first through the novena devotion then, to the RCIA programme. The number of blessings and graces I have received over the last 30 years are simply beyond words. I cannot thank you enough. The Catholic faith I received is completely free but not without responsibility. Please continue to intercede for me to carry out works of mercy faithfully. Thank you, dearest Mother.

Your faithful son.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

I come to you to thank you for my prayers being answered. When my grandson was diagnosed with ADHD, I was worried for his future. During his primary education he was not doing well in his studies. As years passed, I did not give up praying for your intercession. Gradually in his secondary education he became better and has now received 3 awards in his studies. At present he is now in Polytechnic. I thank you for his progress. You have never failed to answer my prayers. Thank you,

Your loving daughter.

4. Dear Mother Mary,

I am sorry it took me so long to write this thanksgiving letter. I prayed for my mother-in-law to be well after her cancer diagnosis. I want to thank you for your intercession after her successful surgery even though she is not catholic. She has since recovered from her surgery and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. She is doing well. I truly believe that all this is possible with your intercession to your son Jesus. Thank you so much Mother Mary,

Your grateful daughter.

5. Dearest Mother of perpetual help,

Thank you for interceding for me as I got the job I prayed for. I wanted to once again thank you for interceding for me to your Son. Please continue to guide me that I will do well in this job.

Your grateful son.

6. Dearest Mother Mary,

I would like to thank you and Jesus and the doctors for a safe colonoscopy that I underwent two months ago. All went well and the results were good. A polyp was found, and the biopsy results were negative and not cancerous. I am truly grateful to Jesus and to you for your motherly care. With a grateful heart,

Your loving son.

7. Blessed Mother,

Thank you for your intercession. My brother has returned to the church. I always sit in the reconciliation queue at Novena Church and stare at the fresco (painting) on the wall, wondering what the scene depicted. I was curious, but God would answer it in God’s time. A few months later, my brother posted a picture of that very fresco on Instagram. I asked him what it meant, and he said that you saw himself as the younger son who was welcomed back home, although he did not deserve it. Alas, my brother has returned to Christ. He was referring to the painting of the prodigal son. While I am thankful that you have brought my brother back to Christ, I also thank you for showing me God’s infinite mercy and grace through the story of the prodigal son. Thank you.

Your loving daughter

8. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Countless times I have prayed for your intercession for my family problems and for friends who have asked me to pray for them and they have been answered. But each time I have failed to thank you and Jesus and have taken your love for granted. So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you mother and Jesus for your kindness, love and understanding. Please continue to guide and protect my family and friends.

Your loving daughter.

1. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you very much for answering my desperate plea for help to resolve a silly financial trade mistake. This mistake would have cost me a lot of money and was absolutely unnecessary. I cannot be more grateful for the resolution. You have truly never failed to intercede for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your Catholic daughter.

2. Dearest Mother,

Sorry that I have delayed sending this letter. Earlier, I prayed for your intercession to help our daughter, who had lost her job in March 2025. She needed a job to support herself and her 2 daughters who are in university. Through your powerful intercession,  on 15 July 2025, our daughter received a job offer. She is now working for a multinational company. We thank you so much, our loving Mother and beloved Jesus. for your powerful intercession.

Your faithful Catholic daughter.

3. Dear Mother Mary,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers and intercessions for me and my family. In June 2024, my husband and I were blessed with a healthy baby girl. The path to parenthood was tough. But I knew that you were with us all the way. We prayed and turned to you for your prayers to Jesus, and believed that we would be blessed with a perfect, healthy child. She’s our little miracle sent from above. I can’t thank you enough, my dear Mother, for your prayers.  Please continue to pray for us, that my daughter will grow up healthy and happy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your grateful daughter.

4. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession to Jesus for the healing of my daughter-in-law who underwent a successful surgery. Please continue to pray for her healing and recovery. Thank you, Mother. Your loving daughter.

Your loving and grateful daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

My son had been unemployed for almost a year. During this time, I constantly cried out to you, asking for your prayers that he might soon find a good and stable job. Just when I was close to despair, he brought home wonderful news today — through God’s loving plan, he has been offered a job that suits him perfectly and will begin next week. This is the good news I’ve been waiting for!

My beloved Heavenly Mother, I know this blessing did not come by chance but through your tireless intercession. Words cannot express my gratitude — thank you, my dearest Mother!

May my life and my family always be a witness of your love.

Your grateful daughter.

6. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

Over the last few years, your intercession has helped:

Protect my loved ones and me during Covid. Reunite me with the woman of my dreams, after we were living in separate countries during Covid for 8 months; and then to get married. Bless my wife and me with an amazing and healthy daughter who is a ray of sunshine in our lives. My daughter overcome every illness or surgery and come out fully recovered, healthier and stronger.

Provide our family with all the blessings, comforts and opportunities we need to pursue a fulfilling life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything, dearest Mother.

Your ever- grateful son.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

I am very happy that my cancer marker test results are on a downward trend. Further, my CT scan result showed that the cancer spots have stabilized. I thank you for your intercession and for Jesus’s blessing over these encouraging results.

Your eternally grateful daughter.

8. Mother Mary,

Thank you so much for letting my unbaptised sister who passed on suddenly last month have a Catholic burial and a resting place at St Peter Church Columbarium in East Malaysia. Deep in her heart, when alive, she had the belief and love for both the Catholic faith and Mother Mary. I’m sure she is at peace with the Lord’s mercy and love. I thank you Mother Mary and your Son Lord Jesus for loving her so much and accepting my sister into our Catholic family posthumously (meaning after a person’s death). I pray that our Lord will grant her eternal life and welcome her into heaven.

Your loving daughter.

9. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

This is a long overdue letter. Thank you for helping me find a flat within my budget. The flat was well maintained, and I didn’t have to spend any money renovating it. I only had to have the walls repainted and some things repaired. It was definitely way beyond what I had expected. I’ve also been blessed with 2 tenants. I can now have passive income so that I can spend more time looking after my father instead of worrying about money. Thank you dear Mother.

Your grateful daughter.

10. Dearest Mother,

I will like to give thanks for the intercession for my job situation. I wrote a petition last week about my struggles with my current job and decision to leave the job. This week I was offered a role that really fits what I would like to do and allowed me to quit my current job in peace. Thank you for teaching me patience and to turn to God even in the midst of my unbelief and insecurities. Your loving son.

Your Catholic son.

11. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

I came to you 4 weeks ago with a petition for help in my son’s case. Early this week, I heard that the complaint against my son was unanimously dismissed by the Inquiry. Dearest Mother, this was possible only through your intercession. Thank you Mother from the bottom of my heart.

Your ever grateful daughter.

12. Dear Mama Mary,

Thank God and much appreciation for your love, protection, many healings, blessings, and miracles for me and my family. Thank God for protecting my daughter to have smooth and safe delivery and my newly born granddaughter — a healthy baby girl. Praise the Lord! Thank you for helping me clear all my debts and regain my health. All this I thank God in Jesus’ name. Amen. I love you, Jesus and Mother Mary.

Your Loving Daughter.

13. Dear Mother Mary of Perpetual Help,

I wrote in my petition last week that the 6.8cm of suspicious masses found in my liver, to be not cancer. I went to the hospital yesterday for my MRI result. The doctor told me that it was not cancer but blocks of blood which needed to be monitored after 6 months. In the meantime, no treatment is needed. I was very relieved, and I thank God and Mother Mary for this. In my heart, it must be the work of God and Mother Mary’s intercession, that turned the cancer into blocks of blood. I am thankful that I am given another new lease of life and I will try my best to serve God.

Your faithful Catholic daughter.

1. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

With a deeply grateful heart, I give thanks for your loving intercession. My grandson, who was recently diagnosed with a challenging medical condition, has received encouraging news at his follow-up review after two weeks of treatment. Though he is not yet completely out of the woods, we have seen signs of healing and mercy that fill our hearts with hope. I believe it is through your prayers that God has poured His compassion and grace upon this little child. We thank the Lord for His tender love, and for sustaining our family in this time of trial. Mother Mary, I entrust my grandson once more into your hands. Thank you, Mother, for standing with us in our time of need.

Your grateful daughter.

2. Dearest Mother Mary,

I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for all the times you have been present to me, through every season of my life. So often, I strayed far from your Son, sometimes lost, sometimes angry, and sometimes just tired of keeping faith. Even then, when my heart was closed and I felt distant from God and the Church, you still managed to reach me—always gentle, always patient—letting me know I was not alone. You have watched over me so lovingly, especially in those dark hours when I was weighed down by pain, confusion, and regret. Through failed relationships, betrayals, wounds from toxic people, saboteurs, schemes, losses, thieves in my own home, and even through the shadows of depression, anxiety, addiction, and fear, you never gave up on me. I know now, Mother, that you were there, praying for me and pleading for me before your Son, helping me find my way back to love and hope. Whenever I was ready to walk away or turn my back, it was your subtle, motherly whispers that moved my heart again. You nudged me to keep searching, to believe that forgiveness and home were still possible. And always, at the lowest points, you pointed me towards Jesus. In that silent love, you led me back to Him. Thank you, Mother, for never letting go of me, for interceding when I didn't even know how to ask for help, and for loving me so fiercely in my weakness. You are my comfort, my companion, and my reminder that no failure is ever final as long as you are near and drawing me close to your Son. For all these things, and for the gift of your motherly presence in my life, I am, and always will be, deeply grateful. With all my love,

Your sinful Son.

3. Dearest Mother,

A few weeks ago I wrote to you with fear in my heart. I had an upcoming day surgery for an undiagnosed lump, and I was worried that it was serious. I cried to you, helpless and scared, and you collected my tears. Thankfully, the results came back fine, and I was filled with peace right before the surgery. It was calming knowing you were there with me, holding my hand, and going through it with me together. Thank you, Mother, for giving me strength and hope when I needed it most; for loving me, and interceding for me to your Son, our Lord Jesus. Through your intercession, love and care, I am recovering well and am more relieved than ever. Thank you for your endless devotion and love. Ever-grateful,

Your daughter.

4. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

I thank you for your intercession. I passed this term with good grades. Although the module I took was challenging, it was only possible because of your prayers and our Lord’s blessing, which gave me confidence during the exam.  I will always be grateful.

Your loving son.

5. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

No words can describe my gratitude for your intercession to Our Lord Jesus. I was literally down to my final months of savings before facing bankruptcy, as I was unable to find employment that could offset my financial commitments. As I knelt before you here at Novena Church, I knew you would save me like you did the wedding couple at Cana. True enough, I received a job offer that doubled my pay and would help me tide things over for a while. I want to thank you, Mother, for your intercession.

Your ever-grateful son.

6. Dear Mother Mary,

I have been asking for your intercession for my youngest daughter. She had sent many job applications and had gone for many job interviews over the past few months. Today, I was told she has a job offer with a government agency. Thank you so much Mother Mary for your intercession, love and help. Gratefully,

Your daughter.

7. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

With a heart full of gratitude, I come before you to offer my humble thanks. Eight months ago, my wife was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. It was a time of fear, uncertainty, and many prayers. We turned to God the Father and to your Son, Jesus Christ, asking for strength and healing — and we sought your loving intercession with faith and trust. You, dear Mother, did not leave us alone. Through your prayers and constant presence, we felt peace in the storm. The surgery was successful, and we received the great mercy of learning that the cancer was not invasive. Now, as my wife continues her recovery under oral medication, we entrust her health to your loving care. Thank you, Blessed Mother, for your prayers, comfort, and powerful intercession during my wife’s illness. We are deeply grateful for your help and for the healing mercy of God.

Your grateful Son.

8. Dear Mama Mary,

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for interceding for us in our recent pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I thank the Lord for the invitation and the assurance when I heard him say “Let’s Go”. It was not an easy decision with the on-going conflict in the Middle East and battling with the concerns from family and friends, but you have always been by my side, praying and protecting us. Thank you for your motherly love for the pilgrims, the SD, Tour Manager, and guides in this group. Thank you for looking after our families back home, too. Thank you for praying for a spirit-filled experience for us all. To me, it was a miracle for us to have made this trip! I know it would not have been possible if not for your prayers and protection. Thank you, Mama.

Your ever grateful daughter.

1. Dear Mother Mary,

A few weeks ago, we came to you when we were fearing the worst for my dad's condition. It was through your intercession and God's protection that the cancer had not spread, as we had feared, and the infection was cured. Please continue to intercede and pray for him as he goes through his operation on Monday. As he's a high-risk patient, we pray that the Lord will watch over him and guide his doctors during the operation.

2. Dearest Loving Mother Mary,

Thank you for interceding for my godma. She is now home with the Lord, and is free and no longer battling cancer. She is the most resilient person that I’ve known, even amidst her illness she never stopped showing up and sharing her love with everyone. She will be dearly missed by everyone she has touched in her lifetime.

Your loving daughter.

3. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Succour,

2 weeks ago, I sought your intercession to protect my brother-in-law from evil spirits as he was in a very bad situation. The very next day, when I visited him he looked very much better. Thank you so much, Mother.

Your son.

4. Dearest Mother,

I want to thank you for your intercession. My daughter had medical issues and was rejected by a nursing course. She had been applying for 7 years and finally this year she got in. My daughter and I are so happy! It's her dream come true. Thank you, Mother, for your intercession and also for keeping her well. Mother, please continue to guide and pray for her that she will pass her 3 years’ nursing course, and will have good health. Thank you Mother!

Your loving and grateful daughter.

5. Dearest Mother,

This is a delayed letter of thanks. 3 years ago, I cried to Jesus and you to help with my finances, especially when I was not able to pay my son’s university fee. I prayed that the amount would be raised.  The amount was not only raised but Jesus raised it to double the amount through my son’s part-time work too. He was working just as hard and thanks to your intercession and Jesus’ help, my son is working full-time now and is doing very well.

Forever, your grateful daughter.

6. Dear Mother Mary,

No words can express my gratitude for your intercession.  I have been coming to your novena in person and online from the US, since my breast cancer recurrence in 2019. Every time I go to Singapore, I never fail to visit you with heartfelt thanks and continued prayers for my healing. My most recent cancer blood tests showed benign results. I just want to live long for my daughter, to see her grow up, get married and have children of her own. I know Mother Mary that you will always help me. Please help me to also be a good mother like you. Thank you, Mother Mary, please pray for all of us who hope in you!

Your grateful daughter.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

With humble hearts, we come before you in deep gratitude. You heard our prayers in a time of uncertainty, and through your loving intercession, our properties were sold - a true miracle in these challenging times. Thank you for your maternal care and for guiding us through the storm with peace and clarity. Your presence has been our comfort, your grace our strength. We entrust our future to your gentle hands, and continue to walk in faith, knowing you are always with us.

Your loving daughter.

8. Dearest Mother of Mercy,

We thank God and Jesus who with your intercessions have showered their blessings on my niece for her spinal surgery and is now recovering in a community hospital where she is scheduled to leave for home recovery in a week’s time.

Gratefully Your Catholic family.

9. Dear Mother,

Last week I wrote a petition for strength and blessings for my birthday. Today I write a Thanksgiving letter because so many people showed up and wished me ‘Happy birthday and remembered me even though they forgot in the last years. It made me really very happy. Thank you for the beautiful weather also and the wonderful time and memory I had last week. May I always remember that God and Mother Mary love me.

With Love, Your daughter.

10. Dear Mother Mary,

I want to thank you for blessing me, my family, my loved ones and my best buddies in our lives. Every day we were facing stressed, suffering, fear and bad emotions in our lives but you have interceded for us as we ourselves know that we cannot give up easily. Please continue to intercede for us and let our hearts pray to God, our Lord Jesus Christ forever, Amen.

Your Catholic son.

11. Mother of Perpetual Help, through your intercession, I have received the good news of my acceptance into the Master’s degree and Barrister training course. I am deeply grateful for this blessing. At this moment, I humbly seek your continued intercession to help me secure the means to finance my education, as I will need to be in England for one year. Please pray that I may find the necessary resources and support to fulfil this calling. Amen.

12. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

2 weeks ago I asked for your intercession for a sudden eye condition that would require an eye surgery. The surgery recommendation was by a Team of eye specialists and they referred me to a retina specialist surgeon for the procedure. I asked for your intercession to pray that I would not have to go through the procedure. On the surgical day, as the surgeon evaluated my eye before the procedure, he found that 99% of the fluid that was accumulated miraculously disappeared and he could not explain that from the medical perspective. I praise God for his healing power and our Immaculate Mother for her tireless intercession. Thank u Mother!

Your Catholic Son.
