Reflection on Sts. Joachim and Anne reminds us of the graciousness they received from God, how they have been living a righteous life in such a way Mary could be born in fullness of grace. I am slow to believe in a magical intervention of God to 'remove' the stain of sin from Mary. Instead, Immaculately conceived Mary is the fruit of filling in of grace through care and preparedness of her parents, grandparents and innumerous elements that stood with them as real presence of God through many generations. It is the work of God in humble human hearts.
