Fun Fact

Scholars believe that Shakespeare wrote his poem, "The Phoenix and the Turtle" in honor of Anne and her husband Roger, who lived their faith boldly during a dangerous time for Catholics in England. After Roger's death, Anne housed, financed, and protected many priests in England, which led to her martyrdom.

Prayer

Saint Anne, intercede to the Holy Ghost that I may courageously live out my faith, especially when I feel self-conscious about what I believe.

Amen.
