2nd Class, White


Oremus

Deus, qui beatae Annae gratiam conferre dignatus es, ut Genitricis unigeniti Filii tui mater effici mereretur: concede propitius; ut cujus solemnia celebramus, ejus apud te patrociniis adjuvemur.

Let us pray

O God, Who wast pleased to give unto Blessed Anne such grace that she earned to become the mother of the mother of thine Only-begotten Son, mercifully grant that, now that she is with thee, we who keep her Feast - day may be holpen by her prayers.
