Pray
Submit an intention
The sanctuary of Alençon offers the possibility of depositing prayer intentions. They will all be placed in the cradle of the room of Saints Louis and Zélie, in which Saint Thérèse was born.
Pray with the sanctuary
Lord, come to our aid in obtaining housing. May the application be processed without any obstacles. May my daughter succeed in her studies and pass her year. Saints Louis and Zélie Martin, intercede for us. All you saints of God, intercede for us. Thank you. Amen. Glory to God.
Lord Jesus Christ, I come before You with a humble and repentant heart. According to Your word, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me,” I ask Your forgiveness for all my sins. In Your great mercy, wash me, purify me, and make me worthy to approach Your Holy Table. Lord, I am not worthy to receive You, but only say the word, and my soul will be healed. Grant me the grace to receive Your Body and Blood with faith, love, and humility. May Your Holy Communion strengthen my soul, purify my heart, and transform me according to Your will. May Your presence dwell within me, guide me, protect me, and help me walk in holiness each day of my life. Lord, I entrust to You my family and my in-laws. Lay Your hand upon each of them: guide them in Your ways, heal them of all sickness, deliver them from all evil, and fill their lives with Your peace and light. I also pray for all the men and women of this world. Forgive our sins, Lord, and pour out your mercy upon the whole earth. May your love transform hearts and may your peace reign in the world. Most loving Father, I thank you for all the blessings you bestow upon our lives each day. I bless your Holy Name for your goodness, your faithfulness, and your love that never fails. May all be for your glory, today and forevermore. Amen.
May my sister Mélanie be protected by the Blessed Virgin Mary as she takes her exams and may she pass. And may my grandmother Monique be at peace and watch over us.
Thank you to Saint Thérèse for her intercession. Pray to reunite my family in Christ and guide me in finding how to respond to my vocation as an oblate.
Saint Thérèse, never abandon me. Grant that I may soon share in your happiness in the bliss of the Angels and Saints. O Saint! Purer than Heaven, protect me, protect my beloved daughter Lou-Anna, my family, protect all your children, fill us with your favors, adorn us with your virtues. Amen
