What is Saint Joachim and Saint Anne's Story?
In the Scriptures, Matthew and Luke furnish a legal family history of Jesus, tracing ancestry to show that Jesus is the culmination of great promises. Not only is his motherโs family neglected, we also know nothing factual about them except that they existed. Even the names โJoachimโ and โAnneโ come from a legendary source written more than a century after Jesus died.
The heroism and holiness of these people however, is inferred from the whole family atmosphere around Mary in the Scriptures. Whether we rely on the legends about Maryโs childhood or make guesses from the information in the Bible, we see in her a fulfillment of many generations of prayerful persons, herself steeped in the religious traditions of her people.
The strong character of Mary in making decisions, her continuous practice of prayer, her devotion to the laws of her faith, her steadiness at moments of crisis, and her devotion to her relativesโall indicate a close-knit, loving family that looked forward to the next generation even while retaining the best of the past.
Joachim and Anne represent that entire quiet series of generations who faithfully perform their duties, practice their faith, and establish an atmosphere for the coming of the Messiah, but remain obscure.
PRAYER
O Lord, God of our Fathers, who bestowed on Saints Joachim and Anne this grace,
that of them should be born the Mother of your incarnate Son,
grant, through the prayers of both,
that we may attain the salvation you have promised to your people.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

There are times when life is overwhelming when all we have is questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen. No matter what youโre facing, weโd love to pray with you.
You can also submit your prayer requests at this link olmercy.com/prayerforme/
Prayer Ministry takes place monthly at MAGNIFY and on the last weekend of the month Mass times. Prayer ministry is an opportunity for those in need of physical, emotional, or spiritual healing or with a specific intention. Come as an individual, as a couple, or as a family and receive prayer for yourself or request prayers for someone in need. Listen and receive the prayers while being open to the Holy Spiritโs movement.

Thank you Seminarian Topher for these powerful pictures taken at the 5-day Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis that concluded last week. The event drew nearly 60,000 attendees from across the United States, and the U.S. bishops have agreed to hold the next National Eucharistic Congress in the year 2033, the 2000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle presided over the closing Mass, delivered a homily reminding participants that โthe gift of His presence and love for us will be our gift to people. โฆA Eucharistic people is a missionary and evangelizing people.โ
We encourage you to watch the talks, relive the Revival, and share the mercy, grace, and love of Jesus in the Eucharist with others, especially those who have yet to know Him. All coverage and recordings are available at this link from EWTN: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9CQlldupc5-TAMz3fOlJwyBO3zWLQFVv
