Day 1 - 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, 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 gain eternal
salvation and that I will receive the special grace of...
(State your intention here.)
O most powerful Saint Anne, do not let me lose my soul, but obtain for me
the grace of heaven, there with you, your blessed spouse, and your glorious
daughter, to sing the praise of the Most Holy and Adorable Trinity forever and
ever.
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.
