Greetings!
This special issue contains only two things, so please click the links in each article:
- the joyful news of the closing of the diocesan inquiry into the miracle for the possible canonization of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin; and
- an appeal from the cause pf the Martin spouses for financial support. As we approach the historic possibility of the canonization of this blessed couple, please allow me to pass on the appeal Lisieux asked me to share with you. Whether or not the Spirit leads you to contribute, please support the process with your prayers. And stay tuned!
with all good wishes,
Maureen O'Riordan

 The diocesan process to examine whether the healing of a child named Carmen whose parents asked Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin to intercede with God to obtain her cure should be considered as the miracle necessary to canonize them opened in Valencia, Spain on January 7, 2013. Its final session began in April, and I am happy to announce that the diocesan tribunal is about to complete its work. The official closing session will take place on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 in Valencia. Read more . . . |
Do you want to contribute to the cause of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin?

As the tribunal finishes its work, a new work of the faithful begins. Guiding a cause from beatification to canonization is very expensive: in this case, trips to Spain, fees to medical specialists, costs for accommodation, duplicating and printing transcripts, and other costs. The Cause of the Martin spouses is appealing to the friends of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin for the necessary support, and Mgr Lagoutte, the Rector of the Basilica at Lisieux, has launched an appeal for funds. I was invited to share this appeal with the English-speaking world. Read more and view the brochure she and I created. (I labored over the brochure, so please do me the favor of looking at it). Fervent thanks.
