They claimed our property

A. P., Mexico

May 21, 2012

March 30, 2012. I want to give thanks for St. Josemaria’s intercession because 4 years ago my husband and I bought some land and built a house there. Some months later we were going through some difficult times and a lady turned up claiming to be the owner of the land. A few days later she sent in a legal claim through the lawyers summoning us to court to reclaim the house.

I asked him for three things

May 19, 2012

I am thanking God for favors received through the intercession of St Josemaria Escriva. I asked him that everything would go well during my pregnancy and giving birth, and that there wouldn’t be any problems. Everything did go well, thank God. I also prayed to him that my husband would find a permanent job and, thank God, he got one. I asked him that a pain I was suffering from would go away, and it did. I am really grateful for all these favors and I have faith that he will always hear my petitions. I will always publish them. Thank you!

An envelope lost in the street

May 17, 2012

I went to a hospital to collect a medical report on an aunt of mine who is very old. The examination had cost her a great deal of effort and she couldn’t have it done at home. The report would determine a series of treatments, and it was important to get it in good time. I was holding it in my hand as I left the hospital, as it was too big to put in my purse.

Surviving a crisis

C. V., Portugal

May 15, 2012

One of my brothers is going through a crisis in his marriage and two months ago he ended up leaving home. I immediately started asking St Josemaria to grant them light so that the situation would be resolved for the best. I did not hesitate to ask this favor of St Josemaria because in the past my brother had great devotion to him! I felt he was a well-known friend, who had worked other favors for him! I prayed a novena every day for both of them... even though some days I didn’t manage to say it 9 times! 2 weeks ago my brother went back home. I know that I have to continue to pray to St Josemaria to thank him, and for this crisis to be really overcome.

A good job in his chosen field

M., USA

May 14, 2012

My son was experiencing anxiety in his final semester of college as his job search was not leading anywhere. I prayed St Josemaria's novena for work and shared it with my son and husband. My son is now looking forward to beginning a good job in his chosen field in June. Thanks to the Lord for a favor granted.

After my brother’s accident

E. A., Spain

May 12, 2012

A few days after getting a job with an indefinite contract, my brother suffered an accident and was off work for some weeks. Although they had assured him that they would keep the job for him, when he was ready to go back they dismissed him. I began praying to St. Josemaria that the accident might turn out for the best – that my brother would get another, better job and that this would help him to come back to God. Nearly four months after the accident, a few days ago my brother began working for a firm in the same sector as his previous job, but a bigger one and that offers more opportunities for personal and professional growth. In short, a better job than the one he lost. I am so grateful for the favor and am still praying to St. Josemaria to help my brother come back to God.

Economic crisis

L. C., Spain

May 10, 2012

Spain's economic crisis really affects everyone, especially foreign workers. I prayed for months to Saint Josemaria Escrivá and finally I got the job, in spite of the crisis and the fact that I am a foreign worker.

Favors from a while back

P., Bolivia

May 9, 2012

I ought to have written about the favors I received through Saint Josemaria a while back. He helped me lots when I was at school to study well and get through. I also prayed to him for the conversion of my younger brother, who had left the Church and whose behavior was sometimes aggressive. In June my brother went to the Mass celebrated in honor of Saint Josemaria, and went to Confession. I know God has granted me other favors through his intercession, that I don’t now remember, but I’m deeply grateful to him.

Finding my husband a job

T. , USA

May 7, 2012

I want to thank Saint Josemaria for his intercession in finding my husband a job. While praying the novena my husband was contacted for an interview. Two days after concluding my second novena my husband was offered a good position with health benefits and a salary which will permit us to continue our children in Catholic education. We are so very grateful for his intercession.

At a difficult time

L. R., Argentina

May 3, 2012

For some time I was very depressed and confused because my studies were not advancing, and I could see no way forward for my life; everything around me was crumbling. I didn’t know what to do. I prayed to St Josemaria to show me the way. I had always said the prayer on the prayer-card but for various reasons I had left off for a time.

Jobs through the Novena for Work

V. M., U.K.

May 1, 2012

One morning at early morning Mass at the bidding prayers I prayed aloud for work for my son. After Mass a lady approached me and handed me the St Josemaria novena to say for my son. I did the novena and on the 18th day he got a job. I handed it to my friend who did the novena and on the 9th day her husband got a job. I say the St Josemaria novena every morning at dawn. He is a highly favoured gentleman. I Believe.

I’m late!

J. C., Peru

April 28, 2012

Some time ago I was on my way to a Christian formational talk, and I got stuck in traffic. I prayed to Saint Josemaria for help, and just then, I don’t know how, an official motorcade came through, opening up a path through the traffic. I followed them and got to the meeting on time!

The Novena for Work

M. D., Spain

April 27, 2012

Once again I would like to thank St. Josemaria for the many favors that have reached our family through his intercession. I have prayed the Novena for Work with great devotion. I finished one novena and started the next, again and again, with faith that it would come at the right time. A family member who is very hard-working and studious was applying for a job that was very difficult to get. I knew that these things take time, but I have always had confidence in St. Josemaria, and she got through one of the most difficult stages. Now I am still praying to St. Josemaria to give her the strength to keep working and studying till she achieves her job. And I thank St. Josemaria for helping her at the major step.
