I prayed a lot of novenae to the blessed Ivan Merz and some of my prayers were granted and some have not yet been granted but I am sure they will be soon. He helped my granny get well and has sent me the kindred soul I prayed for. When I forgot I had been praying for a kindred soul, he sent her to me and I was fascinated by this person and we are still happy, full of love and faith.
I also prayed to the blessed Ivan for peace to her disturbed family and God granted that prayer as well. I am very happy and thank my fellow countryman and protector with all my heart. In September my aunt was very ill, and it seemed she was not going to last much longer. My mother her sister was very sad that she had not wanted to receive sacraments, and especially the confession, for years.
Then we started a novena. When the priest arrived she was probably not conscious, but she did manage to get the extreme unction. She passed away the same evening. On the last days when she was still conscious she asked her daughter to give the bottle with blessed water which we had brought from Trsat, in which my mother and I recognized her wish to come closer to Jesus. I thank the Lord for the grace which we got by the intercession of the blessed Ivan Merz.
For years I have been trying to find a man I could live with. I have come across many crooks, men who did not have any serious plans and I suffered a lot in all this. I prayed a novena to the blessed Ivan Merz and asked him to help me find an ideal partner for marriage by his intercession.
In a relatively short time the prayer was granted. Now I am engaged and we are soon to be married. I have also visited the tomb of the blessed man in the Sacred Heart Basilica and I was overcome by immeasurable grace, I felt his sanctity there.
