Prayer for the Canonisation of Louis and Zélie Martin and to obtain favours through their intercession:
God Our Father, I You for having given us Blessed Louis and Zélie Martin, the parents of St. Therese. United and faithful in marriage, they have left us an example of Christain living and evangelical virtue. In raising a large family through trials, suffering and bereavement, they put their trust in You and always sought Your will. Deign, Lord,to make known their will i n their regard and grant the favour I ask, in the hope that the the father and mother of St. Therese of the Child Jesus of the Holy Face, may soon be canonised and thereby held up to the Universal Church as model for the families of our time. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen
(Here mention your request)
The Causes of Louis and Zélie Martin were drawn up between 1957 and 1960 in two separate processes whose findings were sent to Rome. These two Causes will now be examined according to the method of the historical process and form one single Cause so that this husband and wife may be Canonised together, should the Church so decide. The faithful are, therefore, invited to invoke Mr. & Mrs. Martin together for favours and miracles confided to their intercession. All who receive requests through the intercession of Louis & Zélie Martin are asked to notify the Lisieux Carmel. ____o0o____
