Feast of St Anne-Port Klang (4th day)

St Anne pray for us

We look forward to the annual feast of St. Anne...  open our hearts to her..and she listens and prays for us...

I was  infront of  the statue of St. Anne inside the church building this evening, when someone  greeted me..."good evening, teacher" ...it was one of my students with a mum who looks more like his sister..but never mind that..."my son's not coming in for his English class tomorrow", she said..."we will be here at St. Anne's ". Amazing devotion!

Many, many like her, makes it a point to be at St. Anne's daily when her feast is celebrated. There were so many testimonials..She prays so fruitfully  for us! Father Lawrence took occasion to read out some of the gratitude letters from people whose lives had been touched by St. Anne,  but really, she had  interceded for thousands ....and letters were just not sufficient.....many came back to thank and pay homage, in person, bringing others who needed help with them, and she never turns down an appeal from anyone who trusts in her prayers. That's the down to earth magnet which continues to draw the crowd back to  the  Feast of St. Anne,  year after year. .. the powerful  love of a grandmother. 

A familiar face among
the supporting priests. Have you come
to pray as well Father John??
.If you were at St. Anne's Port Klang, this evening and heard the passionate call of Father Lawrence - come and pray to St. Anne- believe in her prayers.....trust in the power of the Lord God .....you would have been  tremendously touched ..The  beautiful message from Father Stephen Liu was a faith booster...It is really more important. to experience the touch of the Lord and know for one's self how He had transformed our lives, after He came into our lives.  what matters if I know not when He was born??? It is enough that He had healed my brokenness and make a new person out of me... Yes people??? Powerful homily Father!
