St. Louis Martin, you endured great sufferings in your life, amid the even greater joys of serving God in your blessed family.
You instructed your daughters in the Faith and then generously gave them to God in religious life, holding nothing back from Him, and He rewarded you with the crown of sanctity.
St. Zelie Guerin Martin, you felt the tremendous suffering of having four children die at a young age, and then yourself faced death while still having young children.
Yet you endured to the end with faith and perseverance, uniting your sufferings with those of Our Lord on the Cross, obtaining for your family, and subsequently for us, many graces.
Pause here for your intention.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary.
Glory Be.
Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin, pray for us!
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
