She is the patroness of mothers and grandmothers, unmarried women, women in labor, infertile women, housewives, miners, and cabinet makers. <\/p>\n

Yesterday started the Novena to St. Ann<\/a> and my plan was to post this then, my apologies. However, it\u2019s OK to just pick up now and follow along for the rest of the novena. <\/p>\n

St. Anne Novena, Day One<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great Saint Anne, engrave indelibly on my heart and in my mind the words that have reclaimed and sanctified so many sinners:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat shall it profit a man to gain the whole world if he lose his own soul?\u201d May this be the principle fruit of these prayers by which I will strive to honor you during this novena.<\/p>\n

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\u2026<\/p>\n

(State your intention here.)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

Pray for us, Saint Anne!<\/p>\n

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

St. Anne Novena, Day Two<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glorious Saint Anne, how can you be otherwise than overflowing with tenderness toward sinners like myself, since you are the grandmother of Him who shed His blood for us, and the mother of her whom the saints call advocate of sinners? To you, therefore, I address my prayers with confidence.<\/p>\n

Vouchsafe to commend me to Jesus and Mary so that, at your request, I may be granted remission of my sins, perseverance, the love of God, charity for all mankind, and the special grace of\u2026<\/p>\n

(State your intention here.)<\/p>\n

\u2026for which I stand in need at the present time. O most powerful protectress, let me not lose my soul, but pray for me that through the merits of Jesus Christ and the intercession of Mary, I may have the great happiness of seeing them, of loving and praising them with you through all eternity.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

Pray for us, Saint Anne!<\/p>\n

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PS- if you pray this novena with me and St. Ann finds you a spouse, internet etiquette dictates you make me a bridesmaid in your wedding. <\/p>\n
