DAILY PRAYER TO SAINT ANN
O glorious St. Ann, you are filled with compassion
for those who invoke you and with love for those who
suffer! Heavily burdened with the weight of my troubles,
I cast myself at your feet and humbly beg of you to take
the present intention which I recommend to you in your
special care.
Please recommend it to your daughter, the
Blessed Virgin Mary, and place it before the
throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a
happy issue. Continue to intercede for me until
my request is granted. But, above all, obtain for
me the grace one day to see my God face to face,
and with you and Mary and all the saints to praise
and bless Him for all eternity. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy name.
