Thanksgiving – 22 Feb 2020

1. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for bringing me to Singapore. Thank you for allowing me to stay with my husband. Thank you for giving me a wonderful gift and for all your protection and care.

Your Loving Daughter.

 

2. Dear Mother Mary,

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the many blessings that you have showered upon me. I thank you for allowing me into a university course even though I don’t intend to study biomedical science, but it is the only way into medicine in New Zealand. I thank you for allowing me to get into the ‘pre requisite’ course. I thank you for my driving licence and my friends in the past two and a half years in Singapore and I hope that we can keep this friendship throughout the years despite the distance. I thank you for helping the doctors find out the problem with my mother before she flew to New Zealand, and that her boss is willing to let her work from Singapore. Please continue to guide and shower our family with love, joy and hope in our faith.

Your Catholic Son.

 

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

There are no words that can express how grateful and thankful I am to you together with my family. All my prayers that I asked from you through your Son Jesus Christ are really answered. One of those is about my daughter-in-law that she will conceive. Now she is pregnant and this is a great blessing to all of us. This will be my first grandchild. Thank you, my dearest Mother for listening to my prayers. I love you Mother Mary.

Your Grateful Daughter.

 

4. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you so much for your intercession in helping my son get his student visa. Thank you for guiding and giving us your blessings.

Your Grateful Daughter.

 

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession and compassion that I am blessed with a baby. I saw the ultrasound scan and heard the heartbeat today. This is very significant to me as today is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and I went to the Lourdes Experience in Singapore on 7 Dec 2019 to pray for healing and blessing of parenthood. May you bless that my baby will grow healthily and to full term.

Your Daughter.

 

6. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for your intercession throughout this period. When the virus outbreak started, I wondered if it would affect my family and income. I came to your shrine, sought your intercession and reminded myself to leave everything to God. Though business is affected, the situation is manageable. I have some Korean customers to help make up for the drop in the business. For that I am grateful. Thank you once again for your intercession, unfailing love and help, and for keeping us safe.

Your Grateful Daughter.

 

7. Dear Mother,

Thank you for your prayers and healing my relationship with my daughter. I will treasure my daughter and the rest of my children more from now on. My daughter is recovering from her depression. Mother, I ask for your continued prayers for her full recovery. Thank you, Mother Mary and Jesus.

Your Son.

 

8. Dearest Mother of Perpetual help,

As fearful as I was, I took the step to undertake another Diploma last year amidst work and a busy schedule. Going for night classes twice a week and coping with assignments and exams were challenging for me especially since it had been years since I graduated. Nonetheless, you guided me throughout this journey and never failed to remind me that with your intercession nothing is impossible. Thank you, Mother, as I am now inspired to undertake my Masters degree soon. Please continue to pray for me and guide me through all my milestones.

Your Ever-grateful Catholic Daughter.

 

9. Mother Mary,

Thank you very much for your intercession. My mum, a leukemia patient, is responding well to her treatment. Although her treatment leaves her with many side effects, she is in a better state than expected. Please give her the grace to see the blessings in her life instead of sweating over the small stuff and feeling sorry for herself. Please continue to watch over her so she can enjoy several years more with a decent quality of life. Thank you for always covering us with your care and intercession.

Your Daughter.

 

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your kind intercession for the past 2 weeks. With the outbreak of Coronavirus, it has been a trying period in the healthcare sector where I work. Having to work the whole of CNY period, exhausted and hitting so many road blocks, I was ready to breakdown. Then last Friday, my dad had an incident before his flight and we had to rush him for medical help. Through this whole time all I could do was to seek God’s grace. True enough, we pulled through with God’s grace. My dad’s condition stabilized and the situation at work has eased. I pray for everyone’s safety during this period and may people see the good in others during this time. May we remember to be kind as what Jesus has taught us.

Your Catholic Daughter.

 

11. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession for my 8-year-old nephew. He was admitted to hospital on the 29^th January for a seizure. We were so worried for him when he had to go for an MRI. I know that it is through your intercession and help that my prayer was answered and his MRI result shows no abnormality. I am so thankful to you, Mother Mary and no words can express how grateful and thankful I am for your love and intercession.

Your Loving Daughter.
