Mother Mary -
According to the apocryphal Gospel of James, Mary was the daughter of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne. Before Mary's conception, Anne had been barren and was far advanced in years. – Immaculate Conception – Mary was conceived without sin.
Anne is patroness of unmarried women, housewives, women in labor or who want to be pregnant, grandmothers and educators, She is also the patroness of cabinet makers, horseback riders and miners.
Joachim is the patron saint of Fathers, grandfathers, grandparents, married couples, cabinet makers and linen traders. His name means – He whom Yahweh has set up -
Jesus had five brothers, namely, James (Ya'qov), Simon (Shim'on), Judah (Yehudah), Joses (Yosef) and Thomas (Toma'). And he also had two sisters, Rachel (Rakhel) and Lea (Le'ah).
Do we worship Mary? No we pray to her, so she will intercede for our highest and best good.

The history of this feast day goes like this: In 1531, Juan Diego, a poor peasant, was walking to Mass one morning on Tepeyac Hill, now modern-day, Mexico City, when he heard the enchanting sound of birds singing and veered off the path to investigate. He turned to find an apparition of the Virgin Mary. She appeared as a beautiful native princess and told him to go to the bishop and tell him to build a church on this site.
This message was received with skepticism. Juan Diego returned to Tepeyac Hill for consolation and again saw the Virgin. She told him to try again. This time, the bishop asked for a sign. Juan Diego returned to Tepeyac Hill with the bishop’s request. The Virgin said he would find flowers at the top of the hill to take as a sign. Juan Diego finds flowers unlike any he’s seen blooming in the cold of December and filled his tilma, or cloak, full to bring to the bishop. When he unfurled his tilma for the bishop, they are both shocked to find the magnificent image of Our Lady revealed on the tilma!
Our lady of Pontmain, also known as Our Lady of Hope - France 1/17/1871
During the Franco- Prussian War – the Prussian Army was just a few miles from the town of Pontmain, which was located right inside the French defensive line. The citizens feared for their lives. Father Guerin, who has been the parish priest for 35 years, instructed the children to pray to the blessed Mother for protection.
On the evening of Tuesday, 1/17 12 yr old Eugene Barbadette was leaving his fathers barn. He looked up into the starry sky and saw a beautiful lady standing in the air about 20 feet above thee roofline and between the two chimneys of Jean and Augustine Guidecoq’s home across the way. The lady was wearing a dark blue dress covered with gold stars, a black veil and a simple gold crown. Eugene stood there in the snow entranced, for about 15 minutes.
When his father and brother joined him he said – Look over there! What do you see?
The brother saw the same thing Eugene saw.
All of the children in Pontmain were able to see Our Lady of Hope.
While the Aparition was happening, General Von Schmidt revieved orders from the Prussian High Command to halt his campaign and withdraw. Ten days later, an armistice was signed between Frace and Prussia.

Remember to focus on your heart chakra and breathe light into it. Continue to breath light into your chakra until the energy of love is flowing through you and all around you. When this happens, connect to your sacred heart and breath light into it, energize it until you feel love and are love. Allow that love to permeate the area around you.
Do this often, to assist with self love, compassion for you and others!
