Heavenly Father,
through the loving intercession of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, the faithful parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we entrust this new week to You.

Bless us with good health, peace, wisdom, and strength. Guide our steps, protect our families, open doors of opportunity, and keep us safe wherever we go. Fill our hearts with faith, hope, and love each day.

We especially pray for all grandparents. Reward them for their sacrifices, bless them with joy, good health, and long life, and let them always know how deeply they are loved and appreciated. May they continue to be living witnesses of faith for future generations.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
