FEAST DAY OF STS. ANNE AND JOACHIM - JULY 26
Saint Anne was the spouse of St. Joachim, and was chosen
by God to be the mother of Mary, His own Blessed Mother
on earth. They were both of the royal house of David, and
their lives were wholly occupied in prayer and good works.
One thing only was wanting to their union—they were
childless, and this was held as a bitter misfortune among
the Jews. At length, when Anne was an aged woman, Mary
was born, the fruit rather of grace than of nature, and the
child more of God than of man. With the birth of Mary the
aged Anne began a new life: she watched her every
movement with reverent tenderness, and felt herself hourly
sanctified by the presence of her immaculate child. But she
had vowed her daughter to God, to God Mary had consecrated
herself again, and to Him Anne gave her back. Mary was three
years old when Anne and Joachim led her up the Temple steps,
saw her pass by herself into the inner sanctuary, and then saw
her no more. Thus was Anne left childless in her lone old age,
and deprived of her purest earthly joy just when she needed it
most. She humbly adored the Divine Will, and began again to
watch and pray, till God called her to unending rest with the
Father and the Spouse of Mary in the home of Mary's Child.
REFLECTION.—St. Anne is glorious among the Saints,
hot only as the mother of Mary, but because she gave Mary
to God. Learn from her to reverence a divine vocation as
the highest privilege, and to sacrifice every natural tie,
however holy, at the call of God.
