Day 7: Care for the sick and elderly

The seventh day attends to Saint Anne's traditional patronage of the elderly and the sick.

Old age and illness

The Catholic devotion has invoked Saint Anne in the illnesses of old age. The healing waters at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec are visited annually by thousands seeking her intercession.

Prayer

Saint Anne, intercede for the elderly and the sick. Comfort those who suffer from the infirmities of age. Bring spiritual and bodily healing where the Lord wills. Amen.

Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
