In the past 18 months I said the Prayer for the canonisation of Matt Talbot that my son would triumph over the addiction to drink. He hit rock bottom last July when he ended up in Jail for 2 weeks. I prayed hard and talked to Matt Talbot to please help him. Since last August he now lives one day at a time and goes to his AA Meetings.

Last Lent, I decided to give up cigarettes. I knew that it would be very difficult for me. I had been smoking since I was a teenager and smoked between 15 and 30 cigarettes each day. I prayed every day that Matt Talbot would help me through his intercession to cure my addiction. He didnt let me down. I havent smoked since.

I acknowledge a favour through the intercession of Matt Talbot concerning the sale of our house in Waterford where I lived before moving to Dublin. We had great difficulty in trying to sell the house and we bought a house in Dublin with a bridging loan based on the sale of the house in Waterford. For approximately nine months we were paying very large brifging interest. One day I found a leaflet about Matt talbot in the Attic. I said the prayer on the leaflet and within a day or two I had a call from an auctioneer in Waterford to say that he had an offer on the house.

I had a very bad breakdown some years ago. It happened when I came out of the drink. I had put my family through hell. A friend of mine in the same hospital got me praying to Matt Talbot and now I am six years off the drink and I am doing very well.
