Patience That Bears Fruit: Saints Joachim & Anna and the Nativity of Mary

About this sermon

On this beautiful feast day, we reflect on the holy patience of Saints Joachim & Anna—parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary—who waited for decades, trusting God’s will through sorrow and silence. Their story teaches us how to surrender our frustrations, technology-shaped impatience, and unanswered prayers to the Lord, letting grace turn our hearts into fertile ground for His work.
