Thanksgiving – 30 December 2023

1. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for all the blessings I received this year. They are beyond what I could have imagined.

Your Child.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession. I came 3 weeks ago and prayed for my daughter to have a child. Last evening, she broke the news that she is pregnant. We are all so joyful and happy for her. Thank you for praying for us.

Your Loving Daughter.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for bringing me to know your Son, Jesus. I was baptised some 40 years ago. You have been by my side through good and bad times, in times of joy and grief so that I could move on in life. I am 67 today. Thank you for your intercession, love and blessings all these years. No words can adequately express my gratitude.

Your Grateful Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for your constant intercession for me and my family. My spouse has returned to Church after being absent for more than 3 years. Yesterday, he went for his Sacrament of Reconciliation. My daughter completed her degree and did well to proceed to post graduate despite fighting her ongoing chronic illness whilst studying. My son has received a job offer and at the same time, his current employer has raised his pay twice in 2 months. My eldest son is doing well in his career and getting married next year. Mother Mary, all these would not have been possible without your loving intercession.

Your Loving Daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

I am writing this thanksgiving letter as 2023 draws to a close to thank you for the graces. I have received from our Lord through your intercession throughout this year. I left a comfortable and stable job in an industry I was in for over a decade in January for a job in a completely different field, one I did not have any experience in. Unfortunately, I was unable to adapt to the new environment and had to leave the job. While I was in between jobs, I found the time to rediscover my spirituality and grow closer to both you and your Son, by attending various online retreats that I am very thankful for. After several months without a job, I was offered a job in a renowned organisation. They even offered me a better package than I had requested for. I know that this would only have been possible through your constant and powerful intercession.

Your Grateful Son.

6. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your kind intercession. My husband has been jobless since February and he finally found a job early this month. Although his pay is much lower compared to what he had before, we believe it is a good start and it may provide a new opportunity or a better role in the future.

Your Faithful Daughter.

7. Dearest Mother,

We are grateful you are always there for us and thank you for answering our prayers. Due to excessive drinking, my husband’s liver has hardened. After the doctor’s advice, he has cut down on drinking and his condition has improved.

Your Daughter.

8. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you so much for blessing me with a good health check report. I went for my blood test and everything is under control. Thank you for journeying with me when I was undergoing the treatment for my cancer.  

Your Loving Child.
