ROOTS OF FAITH AND LOVE
On July 26, we celebrate the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandparents of Jesus. While the Gospels may not speak much about them, their silent fidelity to God echoes through the generations. They remind us that holiness often begins in hidden places—in the quiet homes where love, prayer, and sacrifice shape lives of deep faith.
As we honour them, we also recognize the value of our own elders and grandparents. They are the living bridges between past and future, the steady hands that nurture, guide, and bless. This feast is a beautiful reminder that we all belong to a legacy of faith, and that every act of kindness and devotion within the family can bear eternal fruit.
May this day lead us to deeper reverence for those who came before us. Let us celebrate with gratitude and joy, drawing inspiration from Saints Joachim and Anne, and entrusting our families to their care and intercession.
