July 26 is the Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne. They were the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandparents of Jesus. God blessed them with their first child, Mary, in their old age, just as He later blessed Saints Zachary and Elizabeth with their first child, St. John the Baptist, in their old age.
They are witnesses of courageous perseverance in prayer for life. We should follow their example, never lose hope and courageously persevere in prayer for an end to the Culture of Death and a new Culture of Life and Civilization of Love, for which St. John Paul II always prayed.
