Who are Saints Joachim and Anne?
Saints Joachim and Anne are the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, chosen by God for the special mission of raising the Mother of God. Though we know few details about their lives, we know they were holy and faithful servants of God who endured many years of infertility before being blessed with Mary.
Their story teaches us about faithfulness in marriage, perseverance in prayer, trust in God\'s plan, and the importance of raising children in holiness. Despite their advanced age and years of childlessness, they never lost hope and continued to serve God faithfully, eventually being rewarded with the greatest blessing - becoming the parents of the Immaculate Virgin.
Through this novena, we honor Saints Joachim and Anne and seek their powerful intercession to help us grow in holiness within our marriages and families, to trust in God\'s plan even in difficult times, and to raise our children in the ways of the Lord.
