Happy Feast Day Mom!

Blessings to my mom, Anne, today on the feast day she shares with St. Joachim and St. Ann, patron saints of grandparents. Thank you to every grandparent out there for the love and wisdom you share with us each day. You have taught us so much by your loving examples!

O glorious St. Ann, you are filled with compassion for those who invoke you and with love for those who suffer! Heavily burdened with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at your feet and humbly beg of you to take the present intention which I recommend to you in your special care.

Please recommend it to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and place it before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy issue. Continue to intercede for me until my request is granted. But, above all, obtain for me the grace one day to see my God face to face, and with you and Mary and all the saints to praise and bless Him for all eternity. Amen. EWTN
