MOTHER OF CHRIST

Mother of Christ! Mother of Christ!
What shall I ask of You?
I do not sigh for wealth of earth,
For joys that fade and flee.
But, Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ,
This do I long to see,
The Bliss untold, which Your arms enfold.
The Treasure upon Your knee.


PRAYER TO SAINT ANN

Priest and People Together:
O Glorious Saint Ann
filled with compassion for those who invoke You
and with love for those who suffer
heavily laden with the weight of my troubles
I cast myself at Your feet and humbly beg of You
to take the present affair
which I recommend to You
under Your special protection

{Here mention silently your intention}

Please recommend it to Your Daughter
The Blessed Virgin Mary
and lay it before the Throne of Jesus
so that He may bring it to a happy issue
Please continue to intercede for me
until my request is granted
Above all, obtain for me
the grace of one day beholding my God face to face
and with You and Mary and all the Saints, praising and blessing Him for all eternity
Amen.

Good St. Ann, Mother of Her, who is our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope
pray to her for us and obtain our requests.

Three times


PRAYER TO ST. PAUL OF THE CROSS

O Glorious St. Paul of the Cross; you who in meditating on the Passion of Jesus Christ
did attain to such a high degree of sanctity on earth
and of happiness in Heaven
and did, by preaching the same Holy Passion
offer to the world a most efficacious remedy for all its evils
obtain for us that we may ever have that Passion; so deeply engraven on our hearts
that we may gather similar fruits in time and in eternity
Amen.


PRAYER IN HONOR OF ST. GABRIEL

O God, Who did teach St. Gabriel, Your Confessor
the constant remembrance Of the Sorrows of Your loving Mother
and Through Her did crown Him with the glory of Sanctity and miracles
grant us, by His intercession and example
so to share with Your Mother in Her sorrows
that through her maternal protection
we may gain everlasting salvation
Who lives and reigns forever and ever
Amen.

Good St. Ann
