Please share testimonies of prayers to Mary, the saints, and angels that were answered

[LeahPaz]

I was wondering if anyone would like to share their testimonies of prayers answered, directed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the saints, or the angels of God, or testimonies in general that have impacted you? I also have a specific question if anyone can answer it: have any of you, or anyone you know, prayed a mental prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary or the saints, and had it answered by God?

Every prayer I have ever prayed has been answered. Every prayer you have ever prayed has been answered.

Sometimes we do not like the answer. That does not mean that a prayer is unheard.

All prayers are ultimately “answered by God” whether one goes directly to God or asks Mary or a saint to intercede.

And yes I get answers to prayers quite often. When God seems to be silent, there is a reason for that too.
He’s saying “wait” or “think about it a bit more”.

Yeah, I have heard some testimonies about people praying to the saints and then miracles happening or seeing the results of those answered prayers. I wanted to ask about the silent prayers because I know that only God can hear silent prayers. It looks like there is an old post on this forum and someone posted an experience about a silent petition to a saint, then received the sign they asked for. That is proof then that God approves of prayers to the saints. Do The Saints Hear Our Silent Prayers? - #3 by PazzoGrande

Sometimes I still fear that I am sinning against God by praying the Rosary, and to the saints and angels… because of what I was taught to believe by other Evangelicals. This is not easy. It’s like an inward battle.

And I know God answers my prayers, I’ve seen them answered, and those of others. Ultimately, yes everything happens in God’s timing and according to His will.

Also this evening I went to a mass at a local parish in a small neighborhood where I live. I met the sweetest old lady, who just came up to me and started talking to me. She was so kind to me and seemed so peaceful (and like she had Mary’s presence with her). There was this peace just radiating from her. I asked her if she prayed a lot, and she said she did. I prayed the Rosary with her as well.

When I was away from the Church for almost two decades I randomly started praying the rosary at night on my fingers before I went to sleep. Had no idea why I was doing it. Six months later I was (in my opinion miraculously) reconverted and went to confession.

I think Mary gave me the grace to say Rosaries and without even me knowing it she had me praying for reconversion. She is pretty awesome if that is true, and I think it is.

During the daily Rosary last year I had asked Mary about her words with Gabriel, which she explained (Yes or No | SoftVocation ) and she has also been showing me how to say and mean “Behold the servant of the LORD, let it be with me according to your word.”
