Great Saint Anne, how far I am from resembling you. I so easily give
way to impatience and discouragement; and so easily give up praying when
God does not at once answer my request. Prayer is the key to all
heavenly treasures and I cannot pray, because my weak faith and lack of
confidence fail me at the slightest delay. O my powerful protectress,
come to my aid, listen to my petition…
(State your intention here.)
Make my confidence and fervor, supported by the promise of Jesus
Christ, increase as the trial to which God in His goodness subjects me
is prolonged, that I may obtain like you more than I can venture to ask
for. In the future I will remember that I am made for heaven and not for
earth; for eternity and not for time; that consequently I must ask,
above all, the salvation of my soul which is assured to all who pray
properly and who persevere in prayer.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
