Thanksgiving – 3 August 2024

1. Dearest Mother,

I have come to you on my 44th birthday, full of thanks for all your intercessions. I first came to you as a 12-year-old preparing for PSLE. You have always interceded for me all these years. Thank you for the gift of your intercession.  

Your Grateful Daughter.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

1 year ago I wrote a petition for a friend’s 6 months old baby who had a cancerous brain tumour. After many surgeries and chemotherapy she is cancer free. Her fight is not over, however, as she has to learn to crawl, stand, walk and speak. She struggles with occasional seizures. Thank you, dearest Mother, for your intercession and I know you will continue to watch over her.

Your Loving Daughter.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

I was so worried about having a panic attack during a MRI scan. However, you were with me that day and helped me through it all successfully.  Thank you so much Mother Mary! This could not have happened without your help and intercession.

Your Thankful Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

I thank God for blessing my husband with a job opportunity. It has lifted a heavy burden off our shoulders. We praise and thank God, who is always guiding and leading us through the right paths in our lives. Thank you, Mother, for your love and intercession. 

Your Faithful Daughter.

5. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for praying for my daughter’s DSA application. She has been called up for an interview by the two schools she had applied to. One of the schools seems to be interested to offer her a place. All this is only possible because of your prayers.

Your Grateful Daughter.

6. Dear Mother,

Thank you for your prayers. My son has reconciled with me.

Your Daughter.

7. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for interceding for me during this season where I had to deal with death and sickness in the family. It is with God’s strength that I can still have peace, wisdom and joy when making decisions. I can see the hand of God working in our family.

Your Ever-Grateful Child.

8. Dearest Mother Mary,

My daughter-in-law was suffering from Chrohn’s disease since last year. We were desperate as there’s no cure for this disease. I came to your shrine and   prayed for your intercession, dear Mother. The doctor tried another infusion and the blood tests came out good last week. Thank you, dearest Mother, for always praying for us and with us.

Your Catholic Daughter.

9, Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

My wife was  diagnosed with cancer the 2nd time when she was 29 weeks pregnant. She had to undergo urgent delivery of a preterm baby at 29 weeks and an 8-hour surgery. Fast forward to 6 months later, I want to give thanks for interceding for us. My wife’s post chemotherapy scan returned with clear results and we want to give thanks for the mercies that we have received. Thank    you for always praying and being with us. We now can restart and focus on the family that you have blessed  us with.                  

Your Loving Family.

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

I have been coming to you, praying to you, to ask you for help and guidance for myself and my loved ones in the last 3 years of my life. You were always there in the most difficult periods of my life, thank you for giving me so much peace, strength and clarity. Thank you for never failing me, thank you for always granting me what I ask for.

Your Loving Daughter.

11. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

My nephew and his wife had tried without success for 4 years to conceive a child. I prayed and sought your intercessions for them. She is now in the 4th month of her pregnancy and is doing well.

Your Grateful Daughter.

12. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your prayers and intercession to our Lord Jesus. We just received the approval for our helper’s work permit. We pray that everything goes well so that she will be able to come to Singapore soon to join our family.

Your Loving Children.
