Thanksgiving – 17 August 2024

1. Dearest Mother,

I come to you with a heart of humility and gratitude, thanking you abundantly for protecting my wife, child and me during her pregnancy. I thank you for your prayers for a smooth and safe delivery. Our family will always be grateful to you.  

Your Loving Son.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

I am really grateful for all your prayers for us. You have always been here for us and have never left us. We are so blessed and honoured to be your children. Throughout my son’s journey in Australia, and my surgery and chemotherapy, you have prayed for us to your Son, our Lord, to give us the strength to get through.

Your Loving Children.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for all your intercessions and prayers. I have been so blessed with Jesus guiding me and always being with me through my life.

Your Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for taking care of my mother during her operation. She is now in rehab and is making good progress.

Your Loving Daughter.

5. Dear Mother Mary,

I thank you with all my heart for blessing me after 8 years of marriage with a healthy and beautiful baby boy. My husband and I are forever grateful to you for your prayers and intercession to our Lord Jesus.

Your Grateful Daughter.

6. Dear Mother,

I thank you and Jesus from the bottom of my heart for granting me a permanent job after a long period. I know that everything happens in God’s time, and this timing was just right to free me from financial dependence on my family. Although there is a 3 months’ probation period, I am confident that you and Jesus will guide me through.

Your Child.

7. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for being constantly with me over the years, especially when I have been at the lowest point in my life.

Your Catholic Daughter.

8. Dear Mother Mary,

I thank you for your intercession during a surgical procedure to remove cancer cells from my nose. I am back to normal with a small scar on my nose. I am really grateful for the recovery.

Your Loving Son.

9. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for always interceding for me. Coming to Novena Church and attending the Saturday Novena Devotion has been a great source of comfort for me, especially in my lowest moments and I have come out stronger each time. I also want to thank Jesus for answering my prayers and more recently answering my prayers for a good job back home. Thank you for everything, Mother.

Your Grateful Child.

10. Dearest Mother,

I would like to thank you for praying for me during my pregnancy and delivery. You have been my inspiration, being a mother yourself and being able to understand me. Through your kind prayers, all went well.               

Your Daughter.
