There're heaps of photos taken over the weekend when Nick and I were further wearing out our legs in London, but as I'm trying to stay disciplined and apply for jobs I'll upload them later - either late today or perhaps tomorrow. Just for today I thought I'd put up a novena I've been meaning to post since last Friday when I picked it up at the Friars'. It's said to St Anne, ending on what I presume is her feast day, 26 July. Here it is:
'Glorious St Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke thee, and with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at thy feet and humbly be of thee to take the present affair which I recommend to thee under thy special protection. Vouchsafe to recommend it to thy daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy issue.
'Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace of one day beholding my God face to face, and with thee and Mary and all the Saints, praising and blessing Him to all eternity.
'Good St Anne, mother of her who is our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope, pray to her for us, and obtain our request.' (This para x3).
'May your kind ears be open to our prayers.'
