O Holy St. Anne and St. Joachim,
faithful servants of God and loving parents of Our Blessed Mother Mary,
we come before you today with hearts full of trust and devotion.
You were chosen to nurture and raise Mary,
preparing her to become the Mother of our Saviour.
Intercede for us, that we too may grow in faith, patience, and love
within our families and communities.
Strengthen grandparents, parents, and all who guide the young,
that they may be wise and gentle teachers of the faith.
Watch over all families, protect them from harm,
and help them to become holy homes of peace and grace.
Through your powerful intercession, may we learn to walk humbly with God,
and, like you, trust fully in His providence and mercy. Amen.
