Prayer to St. Anne:
Good Saint Anne, you were especially favored by God to be the mother of the most holy Virgin Mary, and thus grandmother of our Savior Jesus Christ. By your intimacy with your most pure daughter and her divine Son, kindly obtain for us the graces that we seek. Secure for us the strength to perform faithfully our daily duties and the help we need to persevere in the love of Jesus and Mary. Amen.
About St. Anne:
Saint Anne and Saint Joachim are the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. Anne is the patroness of housewives, women in labor, cabinet-makers, and miners. Her emblem is a door. The name Anne derives from the Hebrew, Hannah, meaning “grace”. (Source: ewtn.com)
