Every year, we honour St Anne and Joachim, the grandparents of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

I would like us to appeal to the intercession of St Anne for employment. You might not need a job at the moment, but your husband, your children, your friends, and billions of people may need employment. Please let us join by praying for them. Employment is important as it helps people to take care of their material needs for them & their families.

Let us pray:

Day 1 - St. Anne Novena:

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

O St. Anne, we love you and appreciate your status as the grandmother of Jesus, our brother and Saviour. We are aware of your compassion and care. Please pray for me and for all those who are in need of employment.!

I am ever grateful for your unceasing intercession before your Lord and your grandchild. I thank Jesus because of his mercy and his Providence. God is my provider and of all those who trust in him. I know that, he will provide a beautiful employment to (Me..) or someone (mention the people you are praying for) this week.)

I thank you Lord for your plan is the best and your time is unopposed. I know that, you work everything for the good of your people whom you had redeemed with a great prize. I'm grateful, Lord. I'm confident that you never abandon me or allow these children of yours to suffer because of your love and for the intercession of Saint, your grandmother.

Therefore, I come to you Lord through the prayer of Saint for ....

(Mention your intentions here).

Above all, dear Saint Anne, pray that I may be open to God’s will as you were, that is with tender love, patience, perseverance in faith and hope, and with absolute trust in the Lord’s plan for all his creature.

Amen.

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

Testimonies: Remember to give testimony after the Lord has blessed you in one way or the other... Open your heart and your eyes to see things that God changes in your existence.

St Anne, grand mother of the Lord, please pray for us!
