St. Anne Novena, Day 3

St. Anne Novena, Day 3

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

O St. Anne, you are my spiritual grandmother. Please pray for me! 

I come to you today asking that you pray for me to see God’s goodness in my life, just the way that it is. 

It is easy for me to forget about the blessings that do exist in my life while I pray for another one. 

It is easy for me to forget about the beauty that does exist in my life while I focus on what is lacking.

Instead, I ask you to please pray for me today that I may be present in each moment, and that I may be open to seeing God’s goodness, beauty, and loving hand in my day – just as it is.

Please pray that I may be able to live in the present, and not to dwell on the past or the future. 

Please pray for…

(Mention your intentions here).

But most of all, please pray that I may be open to God’s will the way that you were, and that I will be able to wait with patience, perseverance in faith and hope, and with absolute trust in the Lord’s plan for me. 

Amen. 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
