Constant Procession

1st installment- The Life of the young Virgin Mary. Have you ever thought back about the Blessed Mother before the life of Jesus? Back when she was a baby? How about back even before she was born? I have uncovered the story of the parents of the Mother of God. The Virgin Mary’s father, Joachim owned vast herds of sheep and had other shepherds to tend to them. Due to good stewardship, Joachim chose to offer some of the treasure he received from his work to the poor and those close to the temple. His wife Anna was the daughter of a priest, from the house of Levi. When Joachim was around twenty he married Anna. They were unable to have children. People almost ostracized them, in spite of the fact that they were worthy of praise due to their constant practicing of faith in God, temple laws and all they did to help others. They always prayed to God for help.   I hope you enjoy their story in this installment of Constant Procession.   I value feedback through the comments section on my website OR- Better via email
