O God,
who gave to Blessed Louis and Marie ZĂ©lie
the grace to lead a life of holiness
as Christian spouses and parents,
grant that, through their intercession and example
we may be able to love and serve you faithfully
living worthily our own vocation.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. Amen.
