2. You became disabled after an accident when boiling your employer’s laundry which left you severely burnt and scarred. Dear Saint, you were humble, pure and patient. Please obtain for me from our risen Jesus the request I make of you (mention your request).
3. Be kind to me for the greater glory of God, and I shall honour you and spread your devotion far and wide.
4. Dear St Anna, by your stigmata you miraculously participated in the sorrowful passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faced with extreme financial hardship which was made worse by your inability to work any longer, you
5. never lost hope and started knitting garments for people, since you could still use your hands. We implore you to also intercede for those who are faced with money problems due to disability. You suffered pain, prayed when you could not sleep at night and always kept
6. your deep love and gratitude for our Lord. Obtain for me the grace of Christian hope and serenity. Assist me also to bear any sufferings of this life with pious resignation and with a positive attitude, and protect me in all my needs. Amen.

Our Father.. Hail Mary.. Glory be..
