Good St. Anne

Before I start on the novena to St. Anne (the mother of our Blessed Mother Mary) I want to requests prayers for my niece, Liz, who will be going through surgery later today. Your prayers for a speedy recovery and that all goes well would be appreciated.

My special prayer for Liz is the Memorare to St. Anne (to obtain some special favor)

Remember, O holy mother St. Anne, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help and sought thy intercession was left unaided, for thou art a most merciful mother and aid all who are in distress. Inspired with this confidence, I take refuge with thee and beseech thee, by the great prerogative of being the mother of the Queen of Heaven and Grandmother of the Saviour of the world, come to my aid with thy powerful intercession, and obtain from thine Immaculate Daughter this favor (mention favor. In honor of the nine months during which thou didst bear the ever-blessed Virgin in thy womb and bought her forth without stain of Original Sin, I now pray NINE (9) Hail Marys, which I offer thee through my Guardian Angel. Amen
(The Hail Mary:
Hail Mary full of Grace,the Lord is with thee. Blessed art you amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Now for the 9 day prayer - The Novena to Good St. Anne

O 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 thy feet and humbly beg of thee to take under thy special
protection the present affair which I commend to thee.
(State Your Petition)
Be pleased to commend 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 outcome. Cease not to
interceded 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, of praising
and blessing Him for all eternity. Amen.

Good St. Anne,mother of her who is our life,
our sweetness and our hope, pray to her for us and obtain
our request (three times)
