Day 5 - Saint Anne Novena Prayers
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...
(State your intention here.)
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, 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. O my powerful protectress, come to my aid, listen to my
petition...
(State your intention here.)
Make my confidence and fervor, supported by the promise of Jesus Christ,
increase 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
prayer.
Amen.
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.
Amen.
