Grandparent’s Prayer to Saint Anne
O Good Saint Anne, help me to recognize the great dignity of being a grandparent. Direct my paths to understand and experience all the graces God wishes for me in this vital role within my family.
When all is well, grant that I may fully share in the joys and accomplishments of all my loved ones. When life is difficult, lead me to be a source of encouragement, support and hope for everyone. During times of illness and suffering, give me the strength to guide my family to firmly trust in God’s loving care and kindness.
As you did, Saint Anne, help me to know and practice all the ways God wishes for me to be an encouraging presence of faith, charity and unity within my family. Watch over and protect me, my children and my grandchildren. Inspire us to lead good and virtuous lives.
Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary, I ask for God’s continued blessings on my family, that dedicated to God’s service on earth, all the members of my family may one day share together in the eternal happiness of God’s unending love in Heaven. Amen.
