In light of Molly’s latest scan results – baby Zelie having two holes in the heart and a placenta issue, I think a novena to Zelie Martin would be very appropriate especially since Zelie and Louis are to be beatified soon.

If you would like to start tomorrow (Sat 12th) but if you reading this late, please join when you can for this precious little one.

Molly said the holes had a 50% chance of closing over, let us pray that this will definitely happen and that the placenta will keep Zelie safe and well until the end of the pregnancy.

Also for Molly that she will find the perfect birth attendants who will support both her and Zelie and that she will have good health and peace of mind throughout the pregnancy.

DAY NINE


Prayer to Louis and Zélie Martin to ask for healing for baby Zelie and many graces for Molly through their intercession:


God Our Father, we praise You for Louis and Zélie Martin, a truly faithful husband and wife, who lived their Christian life in an exemplary way through their duties in life and practice of Gospel teaching. In bringing up a large family, in spite of trials, bereavements and suffering, they showed immense trust in You and obedience to Your will.

Lord deign to manifest Your will in their regard and grant me the favours I implore while praying that the father and mother of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus be presented as models of family life today.

Amen.

I will join you in this novena.

Will you post it daily?

It's truly a beautiful idea, Anne.

I've placed it up in the 'sticky' area, I thought if I add to the heading "Day 1" changing it each day as a reminder to everyone just what day we are at. Of course if anyone misses the starting date, just start on the day you saw the posting.

Molly I really know what you mean there. When I was in the thick of being really sick, it felt as though my trust was faltering but it is when I spoke to people who had such trust for me or it was written on the forum or in an email, it lifted me up and helped me to keep trusting.

I want to share with you what a Carmelite Nun wrote to me:

"Do not be afraid. Jesus and Mary are holding you tight."
