Hello Epiphany74, I have said several novenas over the years like the Mother of Perpetual Succour Novena and yes, it has worked wonders. I have got thru my exams when I was studying and also when my lil' boy had to get into a good school I know that my mum and sis were storming heaven with their prayers and he did get into that school. Even the head teacher told me later that it was a miracle that he got in becos on the last day of the term another mum withdrew her place as she was moving to another borough.
I have never published it but some people do but I have not. I think it is like the chain email or letters thing but I have not done any publishing yet and it is very unlikely I will do so in the future. But I think if you get your wish you can always help someone in need or make a small contribution to a church/charity if it helps you.
