We ask for Saint Anne's intercession in all things regarding motherhood and household as she is the patron saint of housekeepers and mothers. Ann is the mother of Our Blessed Mother Mary and the grandmother of Jesus Christ.
Prayer to Saint Anne
Glorious St. Anne, Filled with
Compassion for those who invoke thee,
and with love for those who suffer,
heavily laden with the weight of my
troubles, I cast myself at they feet and
humbly beg of thee to take the present
affair which I recommend to thee under
thy special protection.
Vouchsafe to recommend it to thy
Daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and
lay it before the throne of Jesus, so that
He may bring it to a happy issue. Cease
not to intercede for me until my request is
granted. Above all obtain for me the
grace of one day beholding my God face
to face, and with thee and Mary and all
the Saints, praising and blessing Him for
all eternity.
Good St. Anne, mother of Her who is
our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope,
pray to her for us, and obtain our request.

Prayer to St. Anne and St. Joachim
Dear St. Anne and St. Joachim,
parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
and grandparents of Jesus, our Divine
Lord, listen with pity to the petition
which your loving and trustful client
humbly presents before you.
Surely dear Saints, you are both
very dear to the Heart of Him Whose
beloved Mother was your tender and
devoted child! Can He refuse anything to you, in whose veins the same
blood flowed which afterwards furished the precious price of our Redemption?
Great Saints, nothing can
be impossible to your power and in-
fluence over the little Jesus, "who
grew strong in grace and wisdom"
under the maternal care and direction
of your glorious Daughter, the Queen
of Heaven and Earth. In mercy and
compassion, be like Him "Who went
about doing good," and come to the
assistance of your servant in this great
necessity!
St. Anne, St. Joachim, dear parents
of her who is our life, our sweetness
and our hope, pray to her for us and
obtain our request! Amen.
