Eighth Day:
Hail, most blessed Mother Saint Ann! I rejoice at thy great dignity; thou gavest birth to Mary, that precious flower, whose blessed fruit, Jesus, has brought salvation to a lost world by fulfilling the desire of all pious hearts, conquering death, and restoring life and hope to sinners. Vouchsafe to intercede for me with Jesus Christ and obtain for me pardon of my sins and a real change of life.
Exalted Lady, glorious Saint Ann, deliver me from everything that is displeasing in the sight of God; let thy bounteous hand enrich thy client with grace and virtue; strengthen me against the attacks of Satan, the wicked world, and my own perverse nature.
Dear Saint Ann, Mother of Mary, deign, with thy blessed daughter, to watch over and make prosperous all my interest. Good Mother, pray to Him Who for love of us deigned to clothe Himself with human flesh in the chaste womb of thy daughter. Yes, pray to this gentle and mighty Grandson that He may wash away the stains of my soul in His precious Blood, that He may send His Holy Spirit to enlighten me and direct me in all that I do, and to make my heart and will always obedient to His holy inspirations.
O my Mother, keep a watchful eye upon my soul; cause to flourish therein every virtue; help me in all my crosses and difficulties.Give me of the fullness of thy bounty, sustain my courage by thy favors, and lead me to a happy end. Amen.
O Jesus, Holy Mary, Saint Ann, help me now and at the hour of my death.
Practice: I will be faithful to invoke Saint Ann every day, even though I should have had the misfortune of displeasing her by sin.
Ejaculation: Good Saint Ann, obtain for me the most strict fidelity to all the duties of my state of life.
(Here mention your intention of prayer.)

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.
