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.
Pray for us, Saints Louis and Zelie Martin, especially in the intention we have for this novena
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Amen.
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, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
