Answered Prayers From This Novena
I did novena of St. Odilia for my mother who was suffering from eye allergy for almost 3 months where her eyes would swelling up and would itch till the eyes turned red from scratching. After I completed the novena, it happened one more time but instead of getting disappointed I trusted in the Lord that He has healed my mother. Since then there is no swelling or itching in her eyes. Glory be to God and His servant St. Odilia.
