A Very Special Novena to Jesus’ Grandmother

New here? Join us in prayer! Click here to get novena reminders by email!

A little more than twelve years ago, I was praying a novena in the hopes of meeting my future husband soon — I asked the Lord to introduce me to a good Catholic man. Shortly after praying that novena, I met John-Paul, and now, we are married and coming up on our tenth wedding anniversary! 

The next novena we’re praying together is the one I prayed all those years ago: the St. Anne Novena!

We will start praying on July 17th! That’s this Sunday. :)

St. Anne is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandmother of Jesus. She is a very powerful intercessor! 

You may have heard that those discerning marriage often pray to St. Anne for help in finding a spouse. But, St. Anne is also known to intercede for people for almost any request, and especially for healing.

You could also ask for her intercession for your marriage, for your grandparents or grandchildren, to grow in holiness and patience. You can ask her to pray for whatever it is that’s on your heart, she will bring your intentions to Jesus!

We hope you will join us in praying this novena! We will be praying for you and your intentions throughout the novena.

God bless you!

  1. I’m praying for healing for my daughter, Katie, who was born with a vascular anomaly. I pray God blesses her team of doctors so they know the best course of action, that she is healed and is able to live a very long, healthy, happy life free from the complications this anomaly might cause. And that the side effects from the medication are minimal and tolerated without pain, suffering and forfeiture of a normal life. Thank you! God Bless!
