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.


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.


*****UPDATE*****

The latest news on Molly and Zelie from Molly's blog:

"Tomorrow is the day we either meet our Zelie or we wait until Monday the 21st. It is down to the wire now, we appreciate any and all prayers for her heart and her general well being. I would also appreciate prayers that she will flip head down, as it stands now, I will be having a c-section, as they cannot induce a baby that is transverse."

Molly and Zelie are in much need of prayer at present, the prayer above used for the novena, is a good prayer to pray during the next few days, I understand that the 21st will be the date.

I have just come back on line.
I will definitely pray for this little baby and Mum.
What a great name for your baby - Zelie (I love it), and such a beautiful prayer.

God Bless
Chemai

Praying, praying! It was announced at the Vatican this weekend (13 July was the 150th anniversary of their wedding - and Brian's and my 17th!) that Zelie and Louis will be beatified on 19 October!

Praying for little Zelie, and for Molly through the next few days. I can't wait to hear the news.

Blessings,

I am praying.....

We just recently had a relic of St. Therese in our home with a passing *Chalice for Vocations* that is circulating our local homeschool support group. It was truly special to host it here, and something I'll not soon forget.

Prayers for Molly and baby Zelie continue!
