St. Nimatullah is my favorite Lebanese saint! I always pray for him when I have exams or anything related to education because he used to teach the seminarians! He always helps me my prayers are always answered!
I Love St. Nimatullah, please pray for me!
BTW this is not St. Nimatullah's picture, this is a picture of Blessed Estephan Nehme!
I met St. Al Hardini in one of my most tying times. Being a new migrant in Australia at the height of winter season with no family around and no job to support my means, I was getting desperate. Months have passed without any job interviews and much more job application rejections, I was losing finances quickly. I was staying with friends and relatives from one house to another with only ‘IOU’s” as payment of my stays with them. In this difficult predicament I never lose faith in Jesus and Mary. I was literally groping in the dark, I don’t know which turn to take and the only navigator was that flicker of hope in me surrounded by a vast sea of darkness.
In one afternoon I came across going to this church and saw the figurines of all the catholic saints. For some unknown reason, my attention was led to St. Al Hardini, whom I’ve never heard of in my whole catholic life. It was like gravity pulling me towards his presence. I took some time reading his profile in front of the statue and felt something different right on as if some one was telling me to ask for his intercession and ‘he won’t let you down’. I did. I prayed his prayer novena and further researched this noble saint’s life and miraculously I did get a job within that same week of asking him my special favour. It was such a moving experience for me that despite of not knowing him at all and yet was given the opportunity to be interceded. Immediately after getting a job I promised St Al Hardini that I will testify how he vouchsafe my plight to the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, he never failed as what was whispered to me on the first time we met.
Just pray to him, ask for his help. St. Al-Hardini won’t let you down as he did on me. It’s not by chance that you re reading this letter and its not just a matter of time that I was hired, it was the grace of God who directed me in the place that I am, and so are you.
