Ss. Joachim and Ann
Ecclesiasticus 44:10-15. Matthew 13:16-17

To the single-minded and the pure in heart the word is given, with grace and power to live in faithfulness and obedience to it. The Father calls each one of His beloved sons and daughters born into His world to become and do all that He lovingly purposes.

His loving purpose spans all times, and each generation has its contribution to make as young and old are guided by Our Holy Spirit. Both individually and all together the one and many faithful in the way come to their fulfilment and perfection through Our indwelling, and their mark and influence are seen by those who come after as well as by those who receive Our blessing through their constancy and faithfulness.
