Welcoming all you dear ladies to join in praying for Elizabeth's pregnancy and her precious baby girl.
In the last 24 hours there has been some complications resulting from the original diagnosis Elizabeth received.
One of Elizabeth's special patronesses is St Anne the mother of Our Lady. If we join with her in asking this beautiful, motherly saint to keep Elizabeth and her baby girl safe as we know that St Anne can:
"She protects the birth of children in an extrordinary manner."
"Obtains restoration to health for the mother when sick; preserves her precious life for her family, for her helpless children"
So in that we trust.
Below are a few lovely prayers in honour of St Anne:
There is a beautiful chaplet to St Anne that can be offered during the weeks and months to come for Elizabeth's intentions, it is very simple and easy:
The Chaplet or 'little rosary' of St Anne
This little rosary is recited to obtain spiritual and temporal benefits. the title of "Good Saint Anne" has been given to this Saint due to the many favors granted through her intercession. The prescribed method of recitation follows:
This chaplet is divided into three parts. The first part starts with an Our Father and then five Hail Marys said in honor of Jesus. The second part starts with an Our Father and then five Hail Marys in honor of Mary. The third and final group starts with an Our Father and then five Hail Marys in honor of Saint Anne.
After each "Hail Mary" repeat the following:
"Jesus, Mary, and Anne, please keep Elizabeth and her baby, healthy and safe."
For those who love a memorare prayer, here is one dedicated to St Anne:
Memorare to Saint Anne To obtain some special favour
Remember, O holy mother Saint Anne, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help and sought thy intercession was left unaided, for thou art a most merciful mother and aid all who are in distress. Inspired with this confidence, I take refuge with thee and beseech thee, by thy great prerogative of being the mother of the Queen of Heaven and Grandmother of the Saviour of the world, come to my aid with thy powerful intercession, and obtain from thine Immaculate Daughter this favour (Safe pregnancy and birth for Elizabeth and her baby girl). In honour of the nine months during which thou didst bear the ever-blessed Virgin in thy womb and brought her forth without stain of Original Sin, I now pray nine Hail Mary’s, which I offer thee through my Guardian Angel. Amen.
Hail Mary (nine times)
Then there is this special prayer:
Prayer for a Safe Delivery
Saint Elizabeth, through the great blessings you received from God at the birth of your son, Saint John, I beseech you to obtain for __(Elizabeth, a safe pregnancy & birth, a healthy baby)__the grace of deeply understanding with joyful wonder the privilege of motherhood and of living each day in happy anticipation.
I ask this grace through the Precious Blood of Jesus, God’s Gift of Love to us.
Saint Anne, obtain for __(Elizabeth, a safe pregnancy & birth, a healthy baby)__through your own blessed child, Mary ever Virgin, the grace that no accident may befall her and that she may deliver her child safe and sound into the world.
I ask this grace through the Precious Blood of Jesus, God’s Gift of Love to us.
Mary, my Mother, I pray you to intercede before your Divine Son, Jesus, and obtain for __(Elizabeth, a safe pregnancy & birth, a healthy baby)__the help and blessings of God so that she may patiently endure with joyful expectation the pains of delivery and that her child may receive the grace of Baptism.
I ask this grace through the Precious Blood of Jesus, God’s Gift of Love to us.
Amen.
