Almighty God, heavenly Father, we remember in thanksgiving this day the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary; and we pray that we all may be made one in the heavenly family of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever.

Today, we remember two quiet figures—so quiet, their names never appear in Scripture.
But their lives shaped the woman who said yes to God.
Today is the memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Let’s walk with them. pic.twitter.com/jmyu8sF1IJ
