A Prayer to Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin for Parents and Spouses

A Prayer to Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin for Parents and Spouses - 

"to remain in joy and Christian hope"

Blessed Louis and Zelie 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 sufferings that filled your life encourage us to persevere in our daily challenges and to remain in joy and Christian hope. Amen.
