Together with St Gerard Majella, Saint Anthony of Padua and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Anne is considered the Patron Saint of Pregnancy and Mothers. This is because she was the mother of the Holy Virgin and the grandmother of Jesus Christ. Celebrated on July 26th, no one better than her knows what maternal love is about. She is the Patroness of grandmothers, pregnant women, safe childbirth and through her intercession, many Catholic women had their babies.
If you want the Blessed Mother of Mary to intercede for your pregnancy, dedicate her 9 days of prayers, the Novena to Saint Anne.
First of all, remember this important data!
Feast: July 26th

to begin this time of prayer with a heart open to the loving grace of God.

Finally, blessed Saint Anne, I ask you to recommend me to your daughter,
the most holy virgin Mary.
Through her, may I receive the spirit of prayer, humility, and the love of God.

Show yourself to be a mother and help me to live a life of holiness and love.
