Married Saints: Sts. Louis & Zelie Martin St. Louis: August 22, 1823 – July 29, 1894 St. Zelie: December 23, 1831 – August 28, 1877 Feast Day: July 12 Patronage: Illness, Marriage, Parenting, Widowers
This couple is best known as the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux (theLittle Flower), but they are models of holiness in their own right. They are only the second married couple to be canonized. Louis was born in 1823 in Bordeaux. When his hope of entering religious life was thwarted he became a watchmaker. Zelie Guerin was born in 1831. She, too, hoped to become a religious, but eventually understood that it was not God’s will. She became a successful lace-maker. Louis and Zelie met in Alencon and were married in 1858 after a three-month courtship. For almost a year the couple lived as celibates, but the advice of a confessor changed their minds and they decided to raise as many children as possible for the glory of God. Zelie gave birth to nine children, five of whom entered religious life. The family lived a comfortable lifestyle, but they also suf-fered the loss of four children at an early age and had to deal with a rebellious daughter. Their devotion never wavered, however. The couple lived modestly, reached out to the poor and the needy, and led daily prayers in the household. St. Therese would later write: “God gave me a father and a mother who were more worthy of heaven than of earth.” In 1877, at age 45, Zelie Martin died of breast cancer. Louis and his daughters moved to Lisieux. Gradually his daughters left to enter the convent. Despite his loneliness he said: “It is a great, great honor for me that the Good Lord desires to take all of my children. If I had anything better, I would not hesitate to offer it to him.” Louis died in 1894 after suffering greatly, including a three-year stay in a psychiatric hospital. Louis and Zelie Martin were beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2008 and canonized by Pope Francis in 2015. Their feast day is July 12, though a liturgical celebration in their honor is not included in the current General Roman Calendar. Sts. Louis and Zelie, pray for us. PRAYER FOR THE INTERCESSION OF SAINTS LOUIS AND ZÉLIE MARTIN Saints Louis and Zélie Martin, After knowing the desire of a religious life, you heard God’s calling to the vocation of marriage. You who are “unequalled parents” Who your daughter St. Thérèse of the Child-Jesus speaks about, Happy parents of Leonie, servant of God sister Françoise-Thérèse, Of Maire, Pauline and Céline, transplanted on the mountain of Carmel, and of four other children delighted by your affection in their early age: Hélène, Joseph, Jean-Baptiste and Mélanie-Thérèse. You gave all glory to God Through your humble and patient work, your devotion to those the most in need, Your family life where happiness reigned through loving and being loved, You truly lived your daily lives through the joys and difficulties of your existence, You love us as your own children, with the heart of a father and the heart of a mother because you are the friends of God, Hear our pray and grant us our request (name the request…) and intercede for us with God the Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord, and with the grace of the Holy Spirit. Amen One ‘Hail Mary » One ‘Glory be to the Father »
Saints Louis et Zélie Martin, Après avoir eu le désir de la vie reli-gieuse, vous avez entendu l’appel du Seigneur à la vocation au mariage, Vous qui êtes les « parents sans égaux » dont parle votre fille sainte Thérèse de l’Enfant-Jésus, heureux parents de Léonie, la servante de Dieu sœur Françoise-Thérèse, de Marie, Pauline et Céline, transplantées sur la montagne du Carmel, et de quatre autres enfants ravis à votre affection dans leur jeune âge : Hélène, Joseph, Jean-Baptiste et Mélanie-Thérèse. Vous avez rendu toute gloire à Dieu par votre travail humble et patient, votre engagement auprès des plus démunis, votre vie de famille où régnait le bonheur d’aimer et de se savoir aimé, Vous avez vécu concrètement votre vie quotidienne à travers les joies et les peines de votre existence, Vous nous aimez comme vos propres enfants, avec votre cœur de père et votre cœur de mère parce que vous êtes les amis de Dieu, Entendez notre prière et notre demande (nommer la demande…) et intercédez en notre faveur auprès de Dieu le Père, par Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur, dans la grâce de l’Esprit Saint. Amen. Réciter un « Notre Père » un « Je vous salue Marie » un « Gloire au Père ».
Histoire d’un couple L’histoire du couple de Louis et Zélie est une histoire simple mais pas ordinaire pour autant. Si Louis a eu l’habitude des voyages, au gré des mutations de son papa militaire, de garnison en garnison, Zélie, quoique fille de militaire aussi – son papa était gendarme – n’a pratiquement pas voyagé, se déplaçant tout juste de quelques dizaines de kilomètres pour rallier Alençon à l’âge de 13 ans. Leur histoire est originale. Désirant, l’un comme l’autre, devenir religieux, éconduits chacun pour leur part dans leur démarche, rendus à leur solitude de vie dans cette ville calme et paisible d’Alençon, ils se rencontrent sur le pont qui enjambe la Sarthe et se marient quelques mois plus tard. Homme et femme de foi, t ravailleurs, bons éducateurs de leurs enfants (ils en auront neuf), engagés dans les oeuvres sociales, soucieux de témoigner de leur foi, éprouvés par la maladie de Zélie, ils ne laissent personne indifférent. Dix-neuf années d’un réel bonheur vécu comme époux et en famille, puis dix-sept années où la famille Martin, transplantée à Lisieux, vivra dans le souvenir de leur épouse et mère regrettée. Aujourd’hui, l’Eglise nous les offre comme modèles sur le chemin de la Sainteté parce qu’ils ont su dans l’épreuve qui était la leur, « vivre d’Amour », pour reprendre le titre d’une poésie de leur fille sainte Thérèse. Amour l’un pour l’autre, amour des parents pour leurs enfants, amour répandu en actes de charité au-delà du cercle familial. St Therese of Lisieux Parish Mission Inspired by the last Sunday’s Gospel Luke 10:1-12, 17-2, We see fit this summer to start this special mission in accord to our Mission Statement. We hope to visit the homebound, the sick and bless their houses... All extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, all members of the legions of Mary will spearhead this program. This ministry is also open to all who want and able to participate. A preparation (training) meeting is posted this Sunday for Next Sunday July 21st after Mass in the School Auditorium at 11:00 am immediately after the 9:30 am Mass.
