Fourth Day:

Hail, holy Mother Saint Ann! I rejoice in the faith, piety and love with which thou didst offer thy pure and holy Daughter, Mary, in the temple. By the happiness which then filled thy heart, I pray thee to present me to thy Grandson, Jesus; so that being offered by thee, I may be agreeable in His sight. Present me also to thy holy Daughter, Mary, so that I may enjoy the fruits of her intercession and learn from her how to act always comformably to the Will of God.

Hail, holy Mother Saint Ann! Take me forever under thy protection! Deliver me from the temptations which are constantly assailing me; defend me from the assaults of my enemies lest I be overcome; save me from all the numberless dangers that surround me lest I perish.  Above all, assist me at my last hour; do thou and thy daughter Mary come then to my help, and though I do not deserve it, vouchsafe, both of you to be present at my deathbed in order to console and strengthen me; holy Mary and Saint Ann, show yourselves to be mothers indeed, by obtaining for me the grace of a good death.  When my soul shall go forth from this world, present it at God’s tribunal, so that by your powerful help and intercession, it may obtain a favorable judgment.Amen.

O Jesus, Holy Mary, Saint Ann, help me now and at the hour of my death.

Practice: Several times in the course of the day, I will honor Saint Ann’s holy image.

Ejaculation: Good Saint Ann, obtain for me generosity in the service of God.

(Here mention your intention of prayer.)

Daily Prayers:

PRAYER TO OBTAIN SOME SPECIAL FAVOUR

O Glorious Saint Ann, thou are filled with compassion for those who invoke thee and with love for those who suffer!  Heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I therefore cast myself at thy feet and humbly beg of thee to take under thy special protection the present affair which I recommend to thee.

Vouchsafe to recommend 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 issue.  Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace of one day to behold my God face to face, and with thee and Mary and all the Saints to praise and bless Him for all eternity.  Amen.
