“DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH YOU.”

(Isaiah 41:10)

 

Good Saint Anne, you who, in the earliest hours

of our history, answered the fervent prayer of the

Breton sailors in peril, cast your gaze of kindness

upon us once again.

 

The world today, like a restless sea,

tests the heritage of faith

received from our ancestors.

 

You who taught Mary

to listen to the Word of God and to pray,

help us to be faithful witnesses of the Gospel.

You who so dearly loved your grandson Jesus,

help us to accompany and guide

the young people whom we love.

 

You who so often welcomed those

afflicted in body, mind, and heart,

reveal to them the tenderness of God.

 

Be attentive to the favours that we ask of you...

Stay with us so that we may walk in love

until we reach our heavenly home.

Amen.

 

(Archbishop Bertrand Blanchet)
