Novena to St. Anne – July 21
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

Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Help of the Pregnant
Great Saint Anne, how far I am from resembling you. I so easily
give way to impatience and discouragement; and so easily give up praying when
God does not at once answer my request. Prayer is the key to all heavenly
treasures and I cannot pray, because my weak faith and lack of confidence fail
me at the slightest delay of divine mercy. O my powerful protectress, come to
my aid, listen to my petition.
(Pause and mention petitions)
Make my confidence and fervor, supported by the promise of Jesus
Christ, redouble in proportion as the trial to which God in His goodness
subjects me is prolonged, that I may obtain like you more than I can venture to
ask for. In the future I will remember that I am made for heaven and not for
earth; for eternity and not for time; that consequently I must ask, above all,
the salvation of my soul which is assured to all who pray properly and who
persevere in Pray. 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.
