Thanksgiving – 30 September 2023

1. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for answering my prayers that I got extra resource in my team. For the past years that I was able to provide for my family financially and you kept them healthy. Without your prayers, I would not be what I am today. Thank you very much for your intercession.

Your Beloved Daughter.

2. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you dear Mother and Our Lord for answering my prayer. My Singapore Permanent Residence application has been approved after 1 year and 9 months of waiting. Your timing is perfect. I continued to pray and asked you for the strength to wait and you were always with me guiding me to overcome all my fears and worries during this process. I have no words to express how happy I am. My tears are rolling down. Thank you, Mother.

Your Loving Daughter.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

I came to your shrine to pray to you for my daughter who is in her mid 30s to meet a good man and to start a family. I am old and I was worried about her future should I pass away. I thank you for interceding for me. Today my daughter has been married for a year, in a beautiful marriage with a very caring husband. My son-in-law is also very involved in our family. Thank you, Mother Mary for all the blessings you have given to my family.

Your Loving Daughter.

4. Dearest Mama Mary,

Thank you for your intercession and God’s love towards my beloved niece. She is autistic and was blessed with a stable job. 1 year ago, she received a diagnosis that she had cancer of the uterus and has been on close follow ups with the gynecologist. She had monthly check ups and had done a few biopsies. After three biopsies, the recent biopsy result was a negative for cancer cells. Our family is ever so thankful from our hearts.

Your Loving Daughter

5. Dear Mama Mary,

It is a very long overdue thanksgiving letter. Since my Ma passed away 44 years ago, as a teenager I always came to you even though I had not been baptised then. You guided me, gave me signs, protected me and directed me to solve all my life’s problems.  I am really grateful and I know you always care for me. Thank you so much.

Your Grateful Daughter.

6. Dearest Mary,

We came to you before your shrine with a fervent prayer to be able to conceive. After finishing the 9 weeks of Novena with our prayer and after 2 years of trying, we are so happy and grateful that you have heard our prayers and granted us our hearts’ desire. No words can express our hearts’ heartfelt gratitude for your powerful intercession. We continue to place our trust in you.

Your Grateful Son and Daughter.

7. Dear Mother,

Thank you for your intercession to receive the abundant grace of God in getting a new job in this turbulent time of my life. Thank you for your mercy and grace for remembering me and guiding me day-after-day. May I live in the presence of God and walk in his ways all the days of my life.

Your Dearest Son.

8. Dearest Mother,

My mother at her own insistence was baptized in September 2022 at the age of 96. She passed away in June 2023.She was a most beautiful woman who cared for all of us selflessly all her life. Her passing brought immense grief and sorrow to our close-knitted 4-generational family, especially my daughter, sister and I who had been living with her since birth. I thank God for entrusting me with such an angel in our lives on earth and I beseech you Most Merciful Mother that my earthly mother enjoys your intercession to God that she finds a place in the Lord’s house forever.

Your Grateful Children.

9. Dearest Mother,

A year and half ago, I fell and hurt my left shoulder and collar-bone. My left arm was in a sling for 9 weeks. I could not sleep on my left side and my left arm had limited movement. On 29 Aug I was in Spain and took a day trip to visit Lourdes and was treated by the grace of washing with the holy water. I did not mention about my shoulder. The next morning, I woke up in bed realizing I had been sleeping on my left side without pain and my left arm had been near-complete mobility again. I really need to thank you Mother Mary, and your Son Lord Jesus for this healing. I seek your prayers in helping me realise the spiritual healing that comes with it. Thank you again Mother Mary, please continue to take care of me and my family, guide and protect us and keep us close to your Son, our Lord Jesus, always.

Your Grateful Son

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

Your love, compassion and intercession for us know no bounds. I sent a petition to you a few weeks ago and you have heard my prayers. My son and his girlfriend have both found jobs and they were also successful in selecting their future BTO home. They are so elated and I thank you from my heart for listening and pleading on my behalf. I will continue to pray to you for your continuous intercession. Thank you.

Your Loving Daughter.

11. Dear Mother Mary,

I know there are reasons behind why my persistent praying for my son’s career and health has not been answered. Maybe the delay is GOD’s answer to my prayer till he plants rich seeds around him in his career. I thank Jesus continuously. May the discouragements alongside life’s trials create beautiful results from them. I trust in YOU.

12. Dear Mother Mary,

I have been attending your Novena since my teenage years till now. This letter is long overdue. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. You have been a symbol of love, compassion and strength for countless generations offering solace and guidance to those in need. I had been looking for another job opportunity and attended the 9 weeks Novena and my prayer has been answered. Thank you, Mother Mary for your continuous intercession.

Your Faithful Daughter.
