S Joachim Confessoris, Patris B.M.V.

 

V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
O God, Who, in preference to Your other Saints, willed St. Joachim to be the father of Your Son’s Mother; grant, we beseech You, that we may ever enjoy the spiritual help of him whose feast we celebrate.
Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. 
R. Amen.
