Novena to Saint Anne

Third Day: 

Beloved of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Mother of the Queen of Heaven, take us, and all who are dear to us, under thy special care. Obtain for us the virtues thou didst instill into the heart of her who was destined to become the Mother of God, and the graces with which thou wast endowed. Sublime model of Christian womanhood! Pray that we may imitate thy example in our homes and families, listen to our petitions, and obtain our requests, Guardian of the infancy and childhood of the most Blessed Virgin Mary, obtain the graces necessary for all who enter the marriage state, that imitating thy virtues they may sanctify their homes, and lead the souls entrusted to their care to eternal glory. Amen. 

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be To The Father

Practice: Ask of God, through the intercession of Saint Anne and of Saint Joachim, the virtues proper to your state of life and the grace to worthily fulfill all its obligations.
