| St. Anne Leading the Virgin to the Temple - Jacques Stella
Novena to St. Anne – July 20
Glorious St. Anne, filled with compassion
for those who invoke you, with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with
the weight of my troubles, I kneel at your feet and humbly beg you to take my
present need under your special protection.
(Mention your intention)
Vouchsafe to recommend it to your daughter,
the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of Jesus. Cease not to
intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the
grace to one day meet God face to face, and with you and Mary and all the
angels and saints praising Him through all eternity. Amen.

| Saint Joachim and Saint Anne Meeting at the Golden Gate - Eugenio Cajés |
Patroness of the Childless
Glorious Saint Anne, I kneel in confidence
at your feet, for you also have tasted the bitterness and sorrow of life. My
necessities, the cause of my tears, are…
(Pause and mention petitions)
Good Saint Anne, you who did suffer much
during the twenty years that preceded your glorious maternity, I beseech you,
by all your sufferings and humiliations, to grant my prayer. I pray to you,
through you love for your glorious spouse Saint Joachim, through your love for
your immaculate child, through the joy you did feel at the moment of her happy
birth, not to refuse me. Bless me, bless my family and all who are dear to me,
so that some day we may all be with you in the glory of heaven, for all
eternity. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be
Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give
us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with
thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb,
Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of
our death. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and
to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises
of Christ.
