St Anne

Background: St Anne was the Blessed Virgin Mary’smother. According to early church tradition, St Anne lived with her husband, St Joachim, in Galilee before moving to Jerusalem. After St Joachim fasted and prayed for forty days in the desert, Angels appeared to them promising a child. The child was the Blessed Virgin Mary.  St Anne’s Feast Day is 26th July.

Say: Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…

if he loses his own soul?”

May this be the principle fruit of these prayers
by which I will strive to honour you during this novena.
At your feet renew my resolution to invoke you daily,

and to be preserved from sickness and suffering,
but above all, that I may be preserved from all sin,

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, your blessed spouse,
and your glorious daughter,
to sing the praise of the Most Holy
and adorable Trinity forever and ever. Amen.

Say: 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.
