Prayer to St. Anne
Good St. Anne, you were especially favored by God
to be the mother of the most holy Virgin Mary,
the Mother of our Savior.
By your power with your most pure daughter
and with her divine Son,
kindly obtain for us the grace and the favor we now seek.
Please secure for us also forgiveness of our past sins,
the strength to perform faithfully our daily duties
and the help we need to persevere
in the love of Jesus and Mary.
Amen.
an aside note: My journey continues with learning
more about my faith and our Blessed Mother.
Of course, I knew that
St. Anne was the mother of Mary,
but I had not encountered prayers to her.
continuing devotion
to the Blessed Virgin
at Rebecca's
the need to persevere...with grace and forgiveness...

And, just yesterday, I saw two painting of Anne with the young Mary and she was pictured as a bit old, that was new to me! I'm new to the 12 days of Mary and am happy to be here!
