  8. Most blessed St Anne. My spiritual grandmother. Please intercede for me during these lonely days I’m experiencing. I’m feeling terribly misunderstood and I’m praying for my enemies to remove the hardness from their hearts… I’m praying for the soul of my husband to be more mindful in seeking a healing of his memories. To own his behaviour…It’s two months today since we separated and it doesn’t appear that he has remorse for the maltreatment towards me over the years of our marriage. I pray that he would gain some holy wisdom…and stop justifying his behaviour.
    I pray for all women who have had experienced of any form of maltreatment! Heal their pain and renew their hearts for holy wisdom and especially healing of their marriage and the families.

    Praying especially for my brother, Charlie who’s suffering from illness. Praying for him his wife during this difficult time. Bring them closer and closer to the gospel. Healing of the whole family in Jesus’s holy name.

    I place the crucifix between John & Marie, to renew their hearts and their faith. Praying for your intercessional Blessed St Anne. Our Spiritual Mother for holy wisdom.
    I place the crucifix between my brother Walter and his son. Wally. May God’s holy wisdom touch their hearts and minds for a hunger to know and love God. Put aside misunderstandings and heal all their relationships towards family and friends.

    Praying for everyone doing this Novena!
    Praying for all the scientist throughout the world to find a cure for this Pandemic!

    Praying for our Christian brothers and sisters suffering persecution in China. Jesus is Lord, in the holy Eucharist, not the President of China. Please faithful Catholics you must pray and fast for our Chinese Catholics brothers and sisters, especially the marginalized, suffering due to their faith.
    We must overcome evil with Good. in Jesus’s holy name.

    JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH SAVE SOULS! ♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
