Thanksgiving – 15 June 2024

1. Dear Mother,

Today marks the last day at my current company where I have been for six years. I have been working in a high-risk industry, so thank you for taking care of me. Thank you, also, for helping me find a new company, and I look forward to starting next week. Thank you, once again, for your intercession for a good and meaningful career.

Your Loving Child.

2. Dear Mother,

Thank you for always watching over my family. I had an issue with my pregnancy two weeks ago. When I was waiting for the doctor to arrive, I prayed the rosary silently in my heart. To our great relief, it turned out to be a minor issue, which did not affect the baby. Thank you, Mother, for always being with me through all my ups and downs.

Your Daughter.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

I would like to thank you for the care you have showered upon me. I went for a review with my doctor today and my cancer markers have dropped to normal levels. I cried with joy! I pray that you will continue to watch over me and give me the strength to continue on this journey. I still have three more chemo cycles to go, but I know that you are with me and that I will find strength. Thank you, once again, my Mother.

Your Grateful Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for continuously watching over our daughter in her educational journey. She has not only been offered a place in a prestigious institution overseas, but has also been awarded a full government scholarship that will help the family financially. Thank you for watching over her since her miracle birth, her journey through school, and her wonderful disposition and value systems. Keep her healthy and safe from harm as she starts a new chapter of her life overseas.

Your Loving Children.

5. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

I want to thank you for the blessings I have received. These last two months have been an emotionally draining period. I received a poor performance appraisal despite significant contributions I had made to the organisation. I engaged in an appeal process and have been recently informed of the adjustment made in my appraisal and a significant pay increment. This blessing would not have been possible without your intercession.

Your Loving Daughter.

6. Dearest Mother,

I thank you from the bottom of my heart as my husband and I will be celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary. This is such a precious occasion because we were separated for seven years during our marriage, when my husband walked away from our marriage when the children were just toddlers. I came to your shrine and asked you to pray that our marriage might be restored. I never gave up on my marriage because I believed it is the vocation that God has given to us. I knew that your prayers would bring about a conversion in my husband and that he would return. He is now a changed man. My children and I are so happy. Thank you so much, dear Mother.

7. Mother Mary,

Thank you for interceding for my close friend, who was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer last month. The news was a shock to everyone. Yet, she would share her faith and encouraging words with other patients in the hospital. Last week, the operation to remove the tumour was successful. Her recovery even surprised the surgeon. Now, she is well enough to get discharged into an integrated care facility. Mother, thank you for your intercession. We witnessed God’s grace and love surrounding her, her family and the medical team. Although she will still need to undergo chemotherapy and radiography treatments, we know you will continue to intercede for her before God. Thank you, Mother, for your prayers.
