Prayer of Spouses and Parents to Blessed Louis and Zélie Martin

Blessed 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.
