[The Novena consist of 9 days of prayers.]
Blessed Anna Rosa,
your life was one of continual suffering.
Notably your first child was left deaf
and mentally handicapped after a sudden illness.
Later you would lose your husband
after only six years of marriage
and then your youngest little son.
Blessed Anna Rosa,
the suffering of your life
brought you to a closer communion with Jesus.
Pray that our suffering here on earth
will also bring such beautiful fruits.
Pray that we may possess a missionary fervor,
strength and zeal of service to our neighbors.
Pray Blessed Anna Rosa that our faith may deepen
so that we may face all obstacles in our life
with trust and complete abandonment to Jesus.
We ask that you present our petitions to Jesus
at the foot of the cross.
Amen.
