{"product_id":"good-saint-anne","title":"Good Saint Anne","description":"\u003cp\u003e St. Anne, the beloved Mother of Our Lady and Grandmother of Christ Our Lord, has proven herself a heavenly helper for every need. Although we know next to nothing of her historically, the traditions record that she was a pious and holy woman. Like St. Elizabeth, she was sterile until her older years, when God finally heard the fervent prayer of St. Anne and her husband St. Joachim, the Grandparents of God, to grant them a child—indeed, the most extraordinary in history, after Christ: for to St. Anne was granted the immeasurable grace of conceiving in her womb immaculately the holy Mother of God, destined to be a spotless Bride of the Lord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003cem\u003e Good St. Anne\u003c\/em\u003e, find the tale of this holy matriarch, and learn how to call upon her intercession.
