Novena to Saint Anne: Day 1

Thank you for your participation in this blessed prayer adventure! I look forward to continuing on this prayer journey with you. Sorry this didn't post first thing this morning.  It was scheduled to but I've been having problems today.  My apologies! Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and future mothers!

DAY ONE

Novena to St. Anne,

the Mother of the Virgin Mary

First, recite this prayer.

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 knee at your feet and humbly beg you

to take my present need under your special protection...

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

Great Saint Anne,

engrave indelibly on my heart

and in my mind the words that have reclaimed

and sanctified so many sinners:

"What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world

if he lose his own soul?"

May this be the principle fruit of these prayers

by which I will strive to honor you during this novena.

At your feet renew my resolution to invoke you daily,

not only for the success of my temporal affairs

and to be preserved from sickness and suffering,

but above all, that I may be preserved from all sin,

that I may succeed in working out my eternal salvation

and that I will receive the special grace of...

O most powerful Saint Anne,

do not let me lose my soul,

but obtain for me the grace of winning my way to heaven,

there with you, you blessed spouse,

and your glorious daughter,

to sing the praise of the most holy

and adorable Trinity forever and ever.

Amen.

Recite the...

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

Glory Be to the Father...

Pray for us, Saint Anne!

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
