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?? |
