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.
