Blessed Anna Rosa Gattorno,
your life was marked by continual suffering.
Notably, your first child was left deaf
and mentally disabled after a sudden illness.
Later, you lost your husband after six years of marriage
and then your youngest son.
Blessed Anna Rosa, the sufferings of your life
brought you into a closer communion with Jesus.
Pray that our suffering here on earth
will also bear such beautiful fruits.
Pray that we may possess a missionary fervor,
strength, and zeal for serving our neighbors.
Pray, Blessed Anna Rosa, that our faith may deepen
so that we may face all obstacles in our lives
with trust and complete abandonment to Jesus.
We ask that you present our petitions to Jesus
at the foot of the cross.
Amen.
