The feast of Saints Joachim and Anne has a special place in the calendar of Christian saints even though they are not Christians. It is special because they are Mary’s parents and the grandparents of Jesus. As in all families, parents and grandparents have a big impact on the faith development of their children and grandchildren. It’s right we should recognize and celebrate Joachim and Anne for the part they play in the unfolding the history of our salvation and turn to them in prayer asking for assistance in what we need: tom deepen our trust in God’s generous provision for us.
About the Speaker: Father Michael Kelly is a Jesuit priest and English language publisher of the respected Jesuit periodical, La Civilta Cattolica.
