Ninth Day:

Dear Good Saint Ann, I have reached the end of the Novena which I have undertaken in thy honor. I have asked, and this day again implore of thee, dear Mother, to obtain for me forgiveness of my many trespasses, true sorrow, a sincere and lasting amendment of life, and a good death; also such temporal and spiritual favors as I stand in need of for soul and body.  But my miseries being endless, O holy Patroness, my prayers also must be unceasing.  Let not, I beseech thee, O Mother, let not thy kind ear grow weary of my prayers, though I repeat them so often. May thy many favors conquer my obdurate heart and endear me forever to thy faithful service and to that of my God. Yes, dear Patroness, cause my heart to relish the sweetness of divine love and things spiritual; fill my soul with true piety enlighten my mind; purify my inclinations; give uprightness to my will and holiness to my intentions.

O bounteous Lady, secure for me perseverance in my good resolutions; resignation in adversities, Christian humility in my conduct, and prudence in all my actions.  Through thy mediation, obtain that for love of Jesus I may despise the world and its vanities; grant that I may overcome all the wiles of Satan and be filled with the love of God and neighbor.  Do not fail, O my amiable Mother, to implore for me from divine Providence all the help I need through life.  May I receive from thy bounteous hand means sufficient not only to answer my own wants, but also to enable me through thy goodness to help the poor and contribute to the good works of our holy religion.

Dear Saint Ann, obtain for me, from our merciful Lord, health of body and soul, freedom from every misfortune, and peace of heart. Assist me at the hour of my death that I may depart this life with a heart truly repentant, filled with a lively faith, a firm hope, and an ardent love, and fortified by the last Sacraments of holy Church.  With thy holy Daughter Mary, do thou, O Saint Ann, protect me in my last moments; shield me from the snares of the evil one and his bad angels; secure for me at the judgment seat of God a favorable sentence, and lastly, grant me a happy admission into the company of the Blessed, into the ever-enduring kingdom of Heaven, there to glorify and thank the adorable Trinity, thy Grandson Christ Jesus, thy glorious Daughter Mary, and thyself, O dear Saint Ann, during endless ages. Amen.

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

Practice: As the concluding act of the Novena, I will perform some good work in honor of Saint Ann.

Ejaculation: Good Saint Ann, by thy motherly intercession lead me to Paradise, where thou art, there to praise and thank thee forever.

(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.
