Novena to the Feast of Saint Anne Day 5

( in the picture the Annunciation of Saint Anne - painted by Juan de Juanes (Juan Macip Vicente)

Glorious Saint Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke thee, with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I knee at thy feet and humbly beg thee to take my present need under thy special protection..
(our prayer intention here.)
Vouchsafe to recommend it to thy daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace that one day meet God face to face, and with thee and Mary and all the Angels and Saints in Heaven praising Him through all eternity. Amen

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

DAY ONE Comfortress of the Sorrowing

Great Saint Anne, engrave indelibly on my heart and in my mind the words that have reclaimed and sanctified so many sinners: "What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world if he lose his own soul?"
May this be the principle fruit of these prayers by which I will strive to honor thee during this novena.

Novena to most Precious Blood of Jesus our Lord and Redeemer ( June 22 to June 30 )

Most Precious Blood of life eternal! price and ransom of the whole universe! drink and bath of the soul! ever pleading the cause of man before the throne of heavenly Mercy; I adore Thee most profoundly:
I would, if I were able, make Thee some compensation for the outrages and wrongs Thou dost ever suffer from men, and especially from those who in their rashness dare to blaspheme Thee.
Who will not bless this Blood of value infinite?
who does not feel himself inflamed with the love of Jesus, who shed it all for us?
What should I be but for this Blood, which hath redeemed me?
And who drew it out of the veins of my Lord, even unto the last drop?
It was Love. O immense Love, which gave to us this saving Balsam!
O Balsam beyond all price, streaming forth from the Fount of immeasurable Love!
Give to all hearts, all tongues, power to praise, celebrate, and thank Thee, now and ever, and throughout all eternity. Amen.

Redemisti nos, Domine, in Sanguine tuo / Then hast redeemed us, O Lord, with Thy Blood.
Et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum/ And hast made us a kingdom to our God.

Oremus.
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui Unigenitum Filium tuum mundi Redemptorem constituisti, ac ejus Sanguine placari voluisti: concede nobis, quaesumus, salutis nostrae pretium ita venerari, atque praesentis vitae malis ejus virtute defendi in terris, ut fructu perpetuo laetemur in coelis. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate,Amen.

Let us pray.
Almighty and Everlasting God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son the Savior of the world, and hast willed to be appeased with His Blood; grant us, we beseech Thee, so to venerate this most Precious Blood, the price of our salvation, and so to be defended by its power upon earth from the evils of this present life, that in Heaven we may enjoy its everlasting fruits. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the Unity of God the Holy Ghost,  one God forever and ever. Amen.

Novena to Saints Peter and Paul ( June 20 - 28)

Holy Apostles, Saints Peter and Paul, I choose thee this day and forever to be my special patrons and advocates.
 Thou, O Blessed Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles because thou art the Rock upon which Almighty God has built His Holy Church.
Thou, O Blessed Saint Paul, because thou were chosen by God as a vessel of election and preacher of truth to the whole world.

Obtain for me, I humbly pray thee, lively faith, firm hope and burning charity; complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, attention in prayer, purity of diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state in life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the Will of God and perseverance in the Grace of God even unto death so that by means of thy intercession and thy glorious merits I may overcome the devil and be made worthy of the promises of Christ, enjoy His presence and love Him forever with thee in time and eternity +Amen

Our Father..Hail Mary..Glory Be
