NOVENA PRAYER TO ST. ANNE.

            Glorious St. Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke you, 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 the present affair which I recommend to thee under thy special protection.

            Vouchsafe to recommend 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 issue.  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, praising and blessing Him to all eterniity.  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.  (3 times)
