Lord of mercy and compassion, on this sacred commemoration of Saint Anne’s conception of the Virgin Mary, we lift our hearts in gratitude for Your grace that works in silence and brings forth salvation from the least expected places
Teach us to trust You as Hannah trusted, and to carry within us a steadfast hope that no trial can shake
Grant us purity of heart like Mary, uprightness of life, and firmness in faith, so that we may become vessels of Your presence in the world
O Lord, let our lives become a space where Your grace blossoms, and our prayer a doorway through which Your hidden work shines in us and in all whom we love
