Glorious St. Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke you and withlove for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, Icast myself at your feet and humbly beg of you to take the present affair which I recommend to you under your special protection. Vouchsafe to recommend it to your 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. (Here ask for the favor you wish to obtain.) Above all, obtain for me the grace of oneday beholding my Godfacetoface, and with You and Mary and all the saints, praising and blessing Him through all eternity. Amen.
Good St. Anne, mother of who her is our life, our sweetness and our hope, pray to her for us and obtain our request. (Repeat three times).
