Thanks Giving

കൃതജ്ഞത

Thanks to our mother Mary and St. Antony. Dear Father, I am writing this as a Thanksgiving testimonial. My name is Chandini and I am from Mumbai. Last year September I lost my job and I was searching for new job from then onwards. In October I got covid and was hospitalized. While in hospital I used to pray to mother Mary for speedy recovery and my mother also used to pray a lot for me. Post covid I was constantly falling sick and adding to the tension was no job for me and my husband.  During this time my mother who is in Kerala told me she came across Koratty, St. ANTONY’S Novena and rosary online and told me to fast on Tuesday and attend these  prayers. I did it for some time and then stopped. My savings was depleting, both me and my Husband was not having job, fights at home, post covid anxiety, palpitations, sleeplessness , fear of death and I was in despair. I again started praying and attending the 6.30 mass live online. I participated in the novena and rosary prayer which was happening every day in the month of May praying for recovery, getting Job and healing for people suffering from covid. Today I say million thanks to Mother Mary and St. Antony for answering my payers. During the month of May my friend suddenly gave a number of an HR of a company where she had earlier given an interview and told me to speak to him. So I called the HR and he was kind enough to arrange for an interview. My interviewer liked me as a candidate however he said I would better suit in another department. In this process I gave around 7 interviews within that company. By the end of May I got an indication from the same HR that they would be rolling out the appointment letter soon. The everyday prayers during the month of May gave me strength, removed the fear and anxiety and I used to look forward every day to hear the word of God. Finally on 15th June I got the offer letter and joined work on 16th June. Praise the lord. I pray that everyone seeking intersession of St. Antony and mother Mary's for their prayers get answered and experience love of God. As a Thanksgiving, I am transferring 10% of my first salary as offerings to church and for prayers. I thank my mother who encourages me to pray and show me the way when I was so much in need. I continue to pray every day and attend the Tuesday prayers online. Thank you...
