Let us Pray
St. Anne, my dear mother and most compassionate protector, receive graciously my poor efforts to do you honor.
May I ever be devoted to you with a heart full of childlike humility and submission. May your example encourage me, your intercession strengthen me and your goodness console me. Permit me with all my heart to commend to you my children.
As you consecrated Mary, your child of grace, entirely to God, I beg you to obtain for me the grace to train up my children for Him, and with them perseveringly to labor to reach heaven.
As you lived in holy harmony and peace with St. Joachim, so may love, union, devotion, and zeal for virtue reign in my household, that we may belong to that host of blessed spouses who with you will love, praise, and glorify the Most High forever and ever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
