Mary, mother of Jesus:

   Many years ago, there lived in Israel an elderly couple named Joachim and Anne. They had no children, which made them very sad. They trusted in God and devoted themselves to prayer and good works. At the appointed time, God heard their prayers. Anne conceived in her womb a daughter, Mary. Through God’s amazing favor and grace, Mary was conceived without Original Sin.

    Anne watched every movement of her little daughter Mary with reverent tenderness, and felt herself deeply blessed by the presence of her pure and lovely child. Anne and Joachim’s home was filled with peace and grace.

     Mary was a beautiful little girl. She loved to help others. She fed the birds and she cared for the little creatures that played in her yard. As she grew older, Mary helped her mother to cook and bake. Sometimes Mary and her mother and father would walk outside together to enjoy the beautiful warm sun and the cool breezes blowing across the hills of Nazareth.

    Mary played happily with her little friends. Everyone in Nazareth especially loved her bright eyes and her cheerful smile. People felt better around Mary, though they didn’t really know why. She brought joy wherever she went.
