ST. ANNE Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary

St. Anne is the mother of the Virgin Mary and hence the maternal grandmother of Jesus. She is the patroness of women seeking a good, loving, and faithful husband, as well as of many other spiritual and temporal requests. She is the patron saint of Grandmothers and Housewives. She is also invoked for safe childbirth. Say this Novena once a day for nine days, especially beginning on July 17 and ending on July 25, the eve of the Feast of St. Anne.

PRAYER

O glorious St. Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke thee and with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at thy feet and humbly beg of thee to take under thy special protection the present affair which I commend to thee: (Mention your personal request here.)

Be pleased to commend it to thy daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of Jesus, so that he may bring it to a happy outcome. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace of one day beholding my God face to face, and with thee and Mary and all the saints, of praising and blessing him for all eternity. Amen.

Good St. Anne, mother of her who is our life, our sweetness, and our hope, pray to her for us and obtain our request. (Say thrice.)

Good St. Anne, pray for us. Jesus, Mary, Anne.
