God of eternal love, you give us in the married couple Louis and Zélie Martin an example of holiness lived in marriage. They kept faith and hope in the midst of life's duties and difficulties. They raised their children to become saints. May their prayer and example sustain couples and families in their Christian life, and help us all to walk towards holiness. If this is your will, please grant us the grace I now ask through their intercession: to keep away anyone who could harm my marriage and my family, and to make my husband and me faithful to our marriage vows. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord".
