Joachim, a generous man, divided his wealth between the Temple, the poor, and his own household. However, they endured the sorrow of childlessness for many years, which brought with it social rejection. According to tradition, Joachim withdrew to the desert for 40 days of fasting and prayer, while Anne prayed at home. An angel appeared to both of them separately to announce the miracle of the conception of Mary, who would be born blessed and would be dedicated to God. Despite their advanced age, Mary was born, cementing the devotion to Joachim and Anne as intercessors for families.\u003cbr\u003eSaint Joachim is recognized as a powerful intercessor in family matters, invoked for the protection of the home, fertility, parenthood, spiritual needs, grandparents, and old age. His example of faith and perseverance inspires the faithful to trust in divine providence. This devotion, deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, highlights his role as patron of families and grandparents, offering hope in times of difficulty.\u003cbr\u003eThis book, \"The Book of Prayers of Saint Joachim for the Family,\" presents 25 intercessory prayers inspired by Saint Joachim, based on historical sources and enriched with biblical quotations. It includes traditional images of Saint Joachim, spaces to write down personal intentions and prayers for loved ones, and a special novena seeking the intercession of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne.
