Feast of Sts. Joachim and Ann, Parents of Our Blessed Mother Mary

“Joachim and Ann, how blessed a couple! All creation is indebted to you. For at your hands the Creator was offered a gift excelling all other gifts: a chaste mother, who alone was worthy of him.”

                                                                        -Saint John Damascene

Today’s Reflection:

Compose a prayer to Sts. Joachim and Ann expressing to them your gratitude for the gift of their daughter. Be sure to include what about their daughter you most love and cherish.
