heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of
Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I
dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss
His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St.
Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.
Glorious St. 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.
St. Ann, please, recommends to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lays it
before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy issue.
St. Ann cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. (Here ask for
favor you wish to obtain.)
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 through all eternity.
Amen.
St. Ann, mother of her who is our life, our sweetness and our hope, pray to her for
us and obtain our request. (Three times).
