Thanksgiving – 25 May 2024

1. Dear Mother Mary,

I am now in remission of cancer for the past 17 years. I thank Jesus for his blessing.

Your Loving Son.

2. Dear Mother,

I thank the Lord for blessing us with a baby. We are always grateful for your intercession. You have never failed us and have been with us throughout our lives.

Your Grateful Child.

3. Dear Mother Mary,

I want to offer my thanks to you for bringing my sister back home and, especially, to our mother who had pined for her return over the last 9 years. My sister left home due to a disagreement with our mother and was in a bad emotional and mental state then. I know how hard it has been on our mother as she desperately sought to find my sister through the police and the MP’s help. In the last 2 months, I prayed to you, Mother Mary, to intercede for our mother and to comfort and help her. And just before Mother’s Day, my sister came home. Our family was overjoyed! Thank you, Mother Mary, for your intercession. I know in my heart that you have been with us always.

Your Loving Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother Mary,

I want to say a big thank you to you for the conversation you had with my mother 53 years ago, when you told her not to abort her baby, even though her life was very hard then. You told my mother that the child would be with her till the end of her life. My mother pulled through her pregnancy and raised the baby well. Recently, my mother passed on, and the child learned of this conversation at her death’s bed. This child, who is now 53 years old is me! I was very surprised that my mother who was not Catholic then had listened to you so obediently. A beautiful nun, who became our Godmother, led us all to our baptism 7 years ago. This last Mother’s Day was a sad and special day for me and my family, as it was the first Mother’s Day without my mother. But I know that you are with my mother in heaven, so I want to say a big thank you for being my mother’s Mother and now you are my Mother and my children’s Mother and our Godmother’s Mother too. I thank you for looking after all of us before, now and forever.

Your Most Grateful Daughter.

5. Dearest Mother,

I am writing to you today with overwhelming gratitude and joy. Thank you for hearing my prayers and for guiding my steps along the path of righteousness. I am particularly grateful for the blessing of my husband’s renewed faith. Seeing him turn to the rosary daily fills my heart with immense joy and gratitude. Thank you, Jesus and Mother Mary, for touching his heart and guiding him towards a deeper relationship with you. As I reflect on all the blessings in my life, I am reminded of the Lord’s infinite love and mercy. His grace knows no bounds, and for that I am eternally thankful.

Your Loving Daughter.

6. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you so much for helping me with the full renovation of my home last year. As a single mother, I had to do this alone. Looking back, I know you were with me guiding and encouraging me in moments when the progress of the renovation was slow. Thank you for interceding for me. I know Jesus was guiding me all the way, giving me the strength and wisdom to make decisions. It was also a very challenging year for my son, who was adjusting to NS life. Thank you, Mother Mary, for opening doors for him; he is in a much better mental and emotional state now. Thank you so much for loving me and my son and for always being a comforting and protective Mother.

Your Most Loving Daughter.

7. Dear Mother Mary,

I would like to give thanks for my promotion. This would not have been possible if not for your intercession and our Lord’s blessings.

Your Catholic Son.

8. Dearest Mother Mary,

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. My wife’s lung tumour was removed successfully and there were no signs of spread from the scans. We know this was possible because of your intercession and your love for us.

Your Grateful Children.

9. Dearest Mother,

Thank you very much for interceding for my daughter to get into a local university to pursue a degree course. She has been miraculously accepted last week even though her polytechnic results were not very good.    

Your Grateful Daughter.

10. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

My sincere thanks to you for your powerful intercession. You have never left my petitions unanswered. I received great news on Mother’s Day that my contract will be renewed in July. Thank you, Jesus and Mother Mary, your graces and bountiful blessings showered upon my family and I.

Your Ever-Grateful Child.

11. Dearest Mother,

Our teenage daughter stopped going to school in mid 2022. She was later diagnosed with social anxiety and a developmental disorder. Things looked more and more bleak as the months passes. We could only pray for direction and acceptance of the situation. Then in August last year, she told us out of the blue: “I want to go back to school.” She went back to school the following month, crash-studied her way through a year’s work and passed her end of year exams. She has not missed school since then. This miracle happened only through your intercession, Mother. We cannot thank you enough for all your prayers and supplication to Jesus, and for sending so much help and support along our way.

Your Ever Grateful Son & Daughter.
