Thanksgiving – 10 February 2024

1. Dearest Mother,

Two weeks ago, I prayed for a successful surgery for my dad. Thank you for your prayers. He was discharged the following day after the surgery and he is feeling very active.

Your Loving Son.

2. Dear Mother,

Since the start of my application for employment, I have felt your presence and guidance. I am ever grateful for all the blessings that come my way. Thank you for good health, a successful career, protection and happiness. I could not have all these without your intercession.

Your Loving Daughter.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

2 weeks ago I came to your shrine and asked for a miracle. I prayed that if it was God’s will for me to travel to a trade event, I would need help with funds for the trip. Within a week, I received news about incoming revenue from a rental property, which would provide the much needed funds for the trip. Thank you, Mother, for your prayer and timely intercession.

Your Catholic Son.

4. Dearest Mother,

I am a survivor of a recent and unexpected heart attack. By the grace of God and through your intercession, I was admitted to hospital in time, with the help of caring relatives, to receive excellent care by medical professionals and undergo urgent procedures to resolve blockages. I am now on the road to recovery, with a second chance to make things right. I am ever grateful to you for intervening for me in my time of need.

Your Grateful Child.

5. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

My daughter suffered gland enlargement in the back of the nasal passage and she had difficulties breathing while sleeping. I have been attending the Novena Devotion every Saturday with my daughter for a couple of years. Now that she has recovered from the sickness through your intercession, I don’t have enough words to express my heartfelt gratitude.

Your Loving Son.

6. Dearest Mother,

I came to your shrine six months ago asking for your intercession for my boyfriend, who was considering changing his job. I prayed that you would guide him in his job search. A few weeks after I came to your shrine, he received calls for a few interviews, and was offered a job by three companies. He chose not the highest paying job but the one which seemed most manageable, and some time later he was promoted. Mother, I know that this was surely through your intercession that he was guided to the right job. Thank you for watching over him.

Your Catholic Daughter.

7. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

In the serene and sacred space of Novena Church, we gather our thoughts and hearts to express our profound gratitude. We start by thanking Jesus for granting us the strength to surrender ourselves to His plan. It is through His grace that we find the courage and faith to trust that He will take care of everything. We are deeply grateful for the blessings bestowed upon each member of our family.

Your Loving Child.

8. Dear Mother Mary,

I thank you for all your love and prayers for my family. I am now recovering from an overactive bladder, especially during the night, and I can now sleep well. I am also grateful that my youngest son is able to continue with the necessary treatment for his growth and development, which we could not pursue 4 years ago due to our financial difficulties. Thank you once again, with all my heart, for all your prayers, love and care for our family.

Your Grateful Child.

9. Dearest Mother,

Thank you so much for your maternal intercession, that my son finally found suitable accommodation to stay in Australia.

Your Loving Daughter.

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for interceding on my behalf. My prayer was answered after 5 years. I had issues at my workplace, but late last year I managed to finally break free from all the unhappiness that was confronting me.

Your Catholic Son.
