26 July: Prayer and blessing of Saint Anne.

It was often confusing for Anne and Joachim as they tried to be good parents and grandparents. Art in the City, at L’Arche Kent’s Rainbow house.
Dear Saint Anne, 
You who are the mother of the Virgin Mary 
and the grandmother of Jesus, 

You who brought up your daughter 
in the expectation of the coming of Our Saviour, 
 
It was you who encouraged her to respond with generosity 
to the call of God in her life. 

You also prepared her to accept the invitation 
to be the mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah. 

Help us to be good parents and good grandparents 
capable of helping  our children and our grandchildren 
to discover the love of God in their lives. 

Dear Saint Anne, bless and protect our families. Amen.

When Fr P visited recently, he gave us this prayer, asking ‘Granny Annie’ to pray for us.
