Fifth Day:
Hail, all-powerful Lady who, by a special favor from God, dost console the hearts of those who invoke thee, by procuring for them not only the eternal riches of Heaven, but also, like a good mother, success in their temporal affairs.
Holy Mother Saint Ann, forget not that I am thy servant, and reject me not on account of my sins. My iniquities are great, but I now repent of them all; and though I do not deserve that my prayers should be granted, yet I have recourse to thee, knowing thee to be a good mother that will not repulse a repentant child; regain for me the favor of my Lord and God whom I have offended, and obtain my deliverance from the punishment which my sins have deserved; obtain for me success in my temporal affairs, but above all, see to the salvation of my soul.Saint Ann, by thy influence with Jesus, the Son of Mary, thy Daughter, thou hast obtained the gift of conversion for many sinners. Must I then, who have chosen thee for my mother, be the only sinner abandoned by thee?
No, Saint Ann, thy name alone, which signifies Grace, assures me the help of thy prayers, and by these prayers I am certain of obtaining pardon and mercy form Jesus. Yes, thou will pray for me now and at the hour of my death; at that decisive moment, thou will come to me with Jesus and Mary, thou will defend me against the attacks of the evil one, and thou will open to me the gates of Heaven. Amen
O Jesus, Holy Mary, Saint Ann, help me now and at the hour of my death.
Practice: I will assist as often as possible at Holy Mass.
Ejaculation: Good Saint Ann, obtain for me that I may dread sin more than death.
(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.
