O Almighty God * Father of mercies and Giver of all good gifts * we kneel before You to honor You in Your Saints; and to seek their intercession in our many needs * We are truly sorry for all our sins; and humbly ask Your pardon * Please grant our petitions and a full measure of the indulgences granted by Your Vicar, the Pope * and draw us ever nearer Your Divine Heart *Amen.
PRAYER TO SAINT ANN
MOTHER OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
With a heart full of sincere and filial veneration, I prostrate myself before You, 0 Blessed Saint Ann, You are that beloved and privileged creature who, because of your extraordinary virtue and sanctity did deserve of God that chief of graces, of giving life to the treasury of grace, the Blessed among women, the Mother of the Incarnate Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Ah: In consideration of such exalted favors, please O most tender Saint, receive me among the number of your truly devoted servants, for such I profess myself to be and wish to remain for the rest of my life. Surround me with your efficacious patronage and obtain for me from God the imitation of those virtues with which you were so profusely adorned. Obtain for me a knowledge of my sins and sorrow for them, an ardent love of Jesus and Mary, and a faithful and constant observance of the duties of my state in life. Save me from all dangers in life, and assist me at the hour of my death that I may safely reach Paradise, there to praise with you, most happy Mother, the Word of God made man in the womb of your most pure daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Amen.
One: Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be to the Father.
Hymn: Mother of Christ.
