My little one, sister in Jesus Christ, we are St Anne and St Joachim, the parents of Mother Mary. Today, our feast day is being celebrated all over the world. It is also being celebrated as the day of the avós [1], the grandparents. Thank you for the devotion towards us. Yes, I am the mother of Mother Mary. We are the parents who loved and taught my daughter Mary to be obedient. She was an example to the world, and above all, she respected our Father God, our Creator. I thank you for the many times you asked for my intercession. I bless you, your loved ones and all of my children all over the world.
