ST ANNE
Please join with us in praying the Novena to St. Anne (the mother of Mary). This novena starts July 17th in preparation for St. Anne's feast day, celebrated on July 26.
St. Anne is the patron saint of:
Mothers
Grandmothers
Women in labor
Those having problems conceiving
Pregnant women
Those suffering from turners
The following prayer is to be said daily for 9 days
O glorious St. Ann, you are filled with compassion for those who invoke you and with love for those who suffer! Heavily burdened with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at your feet and humbly beg of you to take the present intention which I recommend to you in your special care.
Please recommend it to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and place it before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy issue. Continue to intercede for me until my request is granted. But, above all, obtain for me the grace one day to see my God face to face, and with you and Mary and all the saints to praise and bless Him for all eternity. Amen.
Our Father, . . . Hail Mary . . .
O Jesus, Holy Mary, St. Ann, help me now and at the hour of my death.
Good St. Ann, intercede for me.
