Married couples are invited to deepen their love for God and for one another as they pray together daily in the lead up to the feast of Sts Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Our Lord. This retreat is led by the Catholic Truth Society, with all prayers taken from their book Beloved.
Who were Sts Joachim & Anne?
SS Joachim and Anne were the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandparents of the Lord. Although they are not mentioned in Scripture, they remind us that the Word truly became flesh in a particular family. Our devotion to them is an extension of our love of Mary and her Divine Son. Their feast day is celebrated on 26th July.
