DAY FIVE Help of the Pregnant
Great Saint Anne, how far I am from resembling thee. 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 of divine mercy. O my powerful protectress, come to my aid, listen to my petition..
(pause and mention prayer request)
make my confidence and fervor, supported by the promises of Jesus Christ, redouble in proportion as the trial to which God in His goodness subjects me is prolonged, that I may obtain like thee 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.

Our Father..Hail Mary..Glory Be

Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.Amen
