Feast of St Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin - Meditation & Propers
St Anne, the spouse of Joachim, was the Mother of Our Lady and the grandmother of Our Lord. The devotion to St Anne has increased very much in the whole Church. She is much venerated as the Patron of Brittany.
Introit:
Let us all rejoice in the Lord, whilst we keep holy this day in honor of blessed Anne; on whose solemnity the Angels rejoice, and give praise to the Son of God (Ps. 44. 2). My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the King. V.Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Let us all rejoice in the Lord, whilst we keep holy this day in honor of blessed Anne; on whose solemnity the Angels rejoice, and give praise to the Son of God.
Collect:
O God, who didst vouchsafe to bestow upon blessed Anne such grace, that she was found worthy to become the mother of her who brought forth Thine only-begotten Son: mercifully grant, that we who celebrate her festival, may be helped by her intercession with Thee.
Gradual: Ps. 44. 8
Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity. V. Therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness. Alleluia, alleluia. V. Grace is poured abroad in thy lips: therefore hath God blessed thee for ever. Alleluia.
Offertory: Ps. 44. 10
The daughters of the king are in thine honor, the queen stood on thy right hand in gilded clothing, surrounded with variety.
Secret:
Graciously have regard to this sacrifice, we beseech Thee, O Lord: that through the intercession of blessed Anne, who was mother of her who brought forth Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, it may profit us both unto devotion and salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Communion: Ps. 44. 3
Grace is poured abroad in thy lips: therefore hath God blessed thee for ever, and for ages of ages.
Postcommunion:
We who have been nourished by these heavenly Sacraments, beseech Thee, O Lord our God: that, through the intercession of blessed Anne, whom Thou didst will to be the mother of her who brought forth Thy Son, we may be found worthy to attain to eternal salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost livest and reignest forever.
My Daily Thought from the Following of Christ:
How happy and how prudent is he who now striveth to be in life what he would fain be found in death.
Recessional Hymn
Hail Holy Queen enthroned above, O Maria!
O Mother of mercy and of love, O Maria!
(Chorus)
Triumph, all ye Cherubim, Sing with us, ye Seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!
Our life, our sweetness here below, O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria!
(Chorus)
