Most Holy Saints Anne and Joachim,
come close to us and guide our hands
and our hearts in the way of virtue.
Help us to parent our children and grandchildren
with a gentle heart as you did.
Show us how to raise our children in faith
and bring our families into the Light of Jesus.
Remain close to us and help us on our journey to salvation.
Sts Anne and Joachim, we place our petitions
in your hands and ask that you lay them
before the child Jesus.
Amen.
