Prayer to Louie and Zellie Martin!

Yesterday Louie and Zellie Martin, St. Therese's Parents, became saints, the first ever couple saints in modern times.

Pope Francis said that Louis and Zelie Martin, "practiced Christian service in the family, creating day by day an environment of faith and love which nurtured the vocations of their daughters." 

So here is prayer to them: 

Prayer to Louis and Zellie Martin 

Saint Louis and Zélie Martin,

today we turn to you in prayer. 

By fulfilling the duties of your state in life 

and practicing the evangelical virtues 

as spouses and as parents, 

you have modeled for us 

an exemplary Christian life. 

May the example 

of your unwavering trust in God

and your constant willingness to surrender

all the joys, the trials, 

the sorrows and the sufferings

that filled your life

encourage us to persevere

in our daily challenges

and to remain in joy and Christian hope.

Amen.

Ta, Ta for now!
