“Saint Anne, bring me a man as fast as you can!” This is a popular line among many Catholic women online who claim that they found their husbands right after praying the Novena to Saint Anne. I’ve always been aware of this one version that I’m posting. But only now though that I give this a try. Well, if Saint Anne’s intercession is so powerful to God, being the mother of Our Most Blessed Virgin Mary, and the grandmother of Jesus, then she might be gracious to me and you too.
I just had a dream that it’s my wedding reception. What’s funny was that my family, especially dressed-up, was sort of anxious because I was running late for my wedding dinner that night in the Hotel. I saw myself wearing my beautiful white wedding gown in the dream. How I wish I was able to see who I got married with, because I already woke up. That dream could be wishful thinking… or must be a providential sign from Heaven. And then I remember this Novena.
To all the Catholic single women out there who believe that you have a calling for the Vocation of marriage, or the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, like I do, we can ask for the guidance and help of Saint Anne. After all, mother knows best, and she must have had an opinion on Saint Joseph before her daughter Mary’s betrothal to him. For sure, Saint Anne’s husband, Saint Joachim, the father of Mary, must be a very holy man as well. We can trust that Saint Anne knows the right choice of man for a woman. Let us pray to Saint Anne to do the search for us, just like how she must have helped Mary.
One religious told me that he realized, as he observed from many of his friends who ended up getting married, that one real indication of a serious type of man is that his mindset is always to get married as soon as possible; that he sees marriage on the horizon and not in some uncertain future; that right from the time he becomes boyfriend-girlfriend with the woman, his goal is to work it out with her so as to marry her, usually within the first months of their relationship, or in a year. His advice for me was to look for a good man who is willing and ready to get married soon; not a person who might lead a woman on for years.
That’s probably quite a point he made right there; more so, in a Catholic point of view of discernment, especially I read many married Catholic couples shared the same thing. But I will just pray. The bottom line is that praying is not merely asking God for something; it is aligning our own will to His Holy Will. Recently, I’ve learned so many life lessons. Now I can say that I’m definitely a holier Catholic woman. At the moment, my family tells me that they think I’ve got lots of love to give, along with my motherly care and instincts. I have discerned and I know in my heart that spiritually, I am ready to get married any time, and have my own family. Only God knows my deepest and innermost self, whether I really am, on other aspects. And oh, I just need to meet the guy! I’m certain that he must have the qualities of Saint Joseph.
Novena Prayers to St. Anne
Recite the prayer for the proper day.
St. Anne Novena, Day One
Great Saint Anne, engrave indelibly on my heart and in my mind the words that have reclaimed and sanctified so many sinners:
“What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world if he lose his own soul?” May this be the principal fruit of these prayers by which I will strive to honor you during this novena.
At your feet, renew my resolution to invoke you daily, not only for the success of my temporal affairs and to be preserved from sickness and suffering, but above all, that I may be preserved from all sin, that I may gain eternal salvation and that I will receive the special grace of…
(State your intention here.)
O most powerful Saint Anne, do not let me lose my soul, but obtain for me the grace of heaven, there with you, your blessed spouse, and your glorious daughter, to sing the praise of the Most Holy and Adorable Trinity forever and ever.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Two
Glorious Saint Anne, how can you be anything other than overflowing with tenderness toward sinners like me, since you are the grandmother of Him who shed His blood for us, and the mother of her whom the saints call advocate of sinners? To you, therefore, I address my prayers with confidence.
Vouchsafe to commend me to Jesus and Mary so that, at your request, I may be granted remission of my sins, perseverance, the love of God, charity for all mankind, and the special grace of…
(State your intention here.)
…for which I stand in need at the present time. O most powerful protectress, let me not lose my soul, but pray for me that through the merits of Jesus Christ and the intercession of Mary, I may have the great happiness of seeing them, of loving and praising them with you through all eternity.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Three
Beloved of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, mother of the Queen of Heaven, take us and all who are dear to us under your special care. Obtain for us the virtues you instilled in the heart of her who was destined to become Mother of God, and the graces with which you were endowed. O model of Christian womanhood, pray that we may imitate your example in our homes and families. Please listen to our petitions,
(State your intention here.)
Guardian of the infancy and childhood of the most Blessed Virgin Mary, obtain the graces necessary for all who enter the marriage state, that by imitating your virtues, they may sanctify their homes and lead the souls entrusted to their care to eternal glory. Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Four
Glorious Saint Anne, I kneel in confidence at your feet, for you also have tasted the bitterness and sorrow of life. My need, the cause of my request, is…
(State your intention here.)
Good Saint Anne, you who did suffer much during the twenty years that preceded your glorious maternity, I beseech you, by all your sufferings and humiliations, to grant my prayer.
I pray to you, through your love for your glorious spouse Saint Joachim, through your love for your immaculate child, through the joy you felt at the moment of her happy birth, not to refuse me. Bless me, bless my family and all who are dear to me, so that someday, we may all be with you in the glory of heaven, for all eternity.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Five
Great Saint Anne, how far I am from resembling you. I so easily give way to impatience and discouragement; and so easily give up praying when God does not at once answer my request. Prayer is the key to all heavenly treasures and I cannot pray, because my weak faith and lack of confidence fail me at the slightest delay. O my powerful protectress, come to my aid, listen to my petition…
(State your intention here.)
Make my confidence and fervor, supported by the promise of Jesus Christ, increase as the trial to which God, in His goodness, subjects me is prolonged, that I may obtain, like you, more than I can venture to ask for. In the future I will remember that I am made for heaven and not for earth; for eternity and not for time; that consequently I must ask, above all, for the salvation of my soul.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Six
Glorious Saint Anne, mother of the Mother of God, I beg for your powerful intercession for the freedom from my sins and the assistance I need in my troubles…
(State your intention here.)
What can I not hope for if you deign to take me under your protection? The Most High has been pleased to grant the prayers of sinners, whenever you have been charitable enough to be their advocate.
Therefore, I beg you to help me in all spiritual and temporal dangers; to guide me in the true path of Christian perfection, and finally to obtain for me the grace of a happy death, so that I may contemplate your beloved Jesus and daughter, Mary, in your loving companionship throughout all eternity.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Seven
O Good Saint Anne, so justly called the mother of the infirm, the cure for those who suffer from disease, look kindly upon the sick for whom I pray.
Alleviate their sufferings; cause them to sanctify their sufferings by patience and complete submission to the Divine Will; finally, deign to obtain health for them and with it, the firm resolution to honor Jesus, Mary, and yourself by the faithful performance of duties.
But, merciful Saint Anne, I ask you above all for the salvation of my soul, rather than bodily health, for I am convinced that this fleeting life is given to us solely to assure us a better one. I cannot obtain that better life without the help of God’s graces. I earnestly beg for them from you for the sick and for myself, and especially for the petition for which I am making in this novena…
(State your intention here.)
…through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, through the intercession of His Immaculate Mother, and through your efficacious and powerful mediation, I pray.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Eight
Remember, O Saint Anne, you whose name signifies grace and mercy, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, and sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, good, and kind mother; I take refuge at your feet, burdened with the weight of my sins. O holy mother of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, despise not my petition…
(State your intention here.)
…but hear me and grant my prayer.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
St. Anne Novena, Day Nine
Most holy mother of the Virgin Mary, glorious Saint Anne, I, a miserable sinner, confiding in your kindness, choose you today as my special advocate. I offer all my interests to your care and maternal solicitude. O my very good mother and advocate, deign to accept me and to adopt me as your child.
O glorious Saint Anne, I beg you, by the passion of my most loving Jesus, the Son of Mary, your most holy daughter, to assist me in all the necessities both of my body and my soul. Venerable Mother, I beg you to obtain for me the favor I seek in this novena…
(State your intention here.)
…and the grace of leading a life perfectly conformed to all things of the Divine Will. I place my soul in your hands and in those of your kind daughter. I ask for your favor in order that, appearing under your patronage before the Supreme Judge, He may find me worthy of enjoying His Divine Presence in your holy companionship in Heaven.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Anne & Saint Joachim, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

On the month of love (See previous post: Highlights of this Month), God may grant us true love and a loving husband; we just need to prayerfully do our part. Nothing is more attractive than a woman who always tries to get back on the path of holiness and strives to remain in it. I have my whole commitment to that.
St. Anne, pray for us!
St. Joachim, pray for us!
St. Joseph, pray for us!
Mama Mary, pray for us!
Amen.

Dear Saint Ann, I will make this short. On Monday, December 18, 2023, I will be heading up to the Apple Store to purchase a crisp gift for a friend of mine. Can you please send the love of my life up there on the same time that I will be? Please? Being lonely is really getting to me. Besides, I promised my friend that she would be in my wedding. I told her she could be my matron of honor. Like I said, the depression and anxiety is really getting to me, especially around this time. So please make this happen for me. I don’t even know if you answer prayers or if I just sound absolutely ridiculous posting this, but if you do, please make this happen. I don’t want to wake up Christmas morning, knowing that I will never have my prayers answered ever. Yes, I will be wearing a Taylor Swift shirt. He must love dogs. I know I mentioned this before but this is very important. I have an amazing beautiful guide dog who is my life. Thank you. Sincerely liberal Swifty.
Dear Saint Ann, I feel ridiculous writing this. I don’t even know if you actually respond to prayers. I will not make this long. On December 18, 2023, I will be heading up to the Apple Store in the mall to purchase a gift card for a friend for Christmas. while I am there, can you please send the love of my life to the store around the same time that I am there? this is all I want for Christmas. Since you already know what I am looking for, I won’t post all that here. All I ask is that he must love dogs, is hot, and maybe looks like Kevin from the Backstreet Boys. All I know is that I don’t want to wake up Christmas morning knowing that my prayers will never be answered. ,
Dear Saint Ann, I feel absolutely ridiculous typing this out right now. How do I know that you actually answer prayers. Well if you do, here is mine. On Monday December 18, 2023, I am heading up to the Apple Store to purchase a gift card for a friend for Christmas. I will be at the mall from 10:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. I will be at the mall where the store is located. I will be wearing a taylor Swift shirt. If you truly answer prayers, can you send the love of my life to the Apple store at the time when I will be there? this is the only Christmas present I want. I’m a 44 year old who has never been in a relationship because for a long time, I was terrified of men. I want more than anything for someone to help me deal with that fear. yes I have been to therapy. However what I need right now, therapy can’t fix. I want to meet someone who will allow me to tell him of my traumas and just be able to sob into his arms without being scared. Please send that man to me. I am not interested in having kids. I just want to be with someone who I can share my life with. besides, my friend really wants to be in my wedding. Please make sure he is super successful college educated and will have more than enough money to travel the world since I will never have money to do it myself. I am not interested in material shit. I want someone who will show me the world through his eyes. Oh yes, he must love dogs. I have a guide dog who is my entire life. I want to be with someone who will heal this deep pain in the depths of my soul. So if you really and truly answer prayers, please answer mine. Having depression and anxiety can be overwhelming at times. It would be nice to be with someone who can help me carry the burden. Anyhow, that is all for now. Sincerely me. P.S I hope that he is into punk and heavy metal music because it will be so much fun dragging him to every Backstreet Boys, New Kids On The Block, P!NK and taylor Swift concert on the planet. Oh yes and one more thing. 6ft2in all, dark hair, blue/green eyes, dark complected, like Italian with tattoos muscles baggy clothes and wears a cross. Okay, I am done here. I won’t post on here any longer. All I know right now is that I don’t want to wake up Christmas morning with tears streaming down my face, know that I will be alone for the rest of my life and that my prayers will never be answered.
Dear Saint Ann, just putting this out there. I am a 44 year old college educated woman looking for a long-term relationship with a 44 to 50-year-old college educates super successful partner. I am not too religious. I enjoy traveling, attending concerts, working out, walking in the mall when it’s too cold outside with my amazing beautiful guide dog.

I Have been praying for a husband but all in vain.
Don’t give up, His timing is the best. Trust and have faith in Him. He is a merciful God.
I didn’t want to get married and believed I was meant to be single. But on a blessed day I prayed,”Lord, if it is your will for me to get married, open my heart and grant me a good husband. But if it is your will that you call me to the religious life, give me the strength to stand up to your call.” About two months later, I met my husband. And we married the following year on the date we met. God has given us three children so far. Family life is not easy but it is sanctifying.
Trusting in God to get my better half soonest.Thank you st.Anne continue interceding for me.Amen!
I have numerous disappointments from men and I believe now that after this novena God’s grace and mercy will be upon me and I will be blessed with a God fearing man in Jesus name.
Thank you for the guidance,may God answer my prayers Amen
