Please note that this month's conference will look at how the Martin family's many experiences of sickness strengthened their life of faith and prayer, and also at a few of the healings attributed to the intercession of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin and of St. Therese of Lisieux. May learning about this aspect of their life of faith help us to accept our own illnesses and the illnesses of those we love. Please come, and pray in the presence of the reliquary of this holy family or your own healing and the healing of your beloved family members and friends.

The first photo of the reliquary of St. Therese of Lisieux and her parents, Blessed Zelie and Louis Martin, after it was installed at the Carmelite Monastery in Philadelphia
The new "family reliquary," containing relics of St. Therese of Lisieux and of her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, in its permanent home at the Carmelite Monastery in Philadelphia. The reliquary has been placed in the shrine of St. Therese in the chapel, in the exact place where the "traveling reliquary" of St. Therese was venerated by an estimated ten thousand people in 1999. Fittingly, this is also the place where, until 1997, crowds prayed before the portrait of St. Therese painted by her sister, Celine, and given to the Philadelphia Carmel in 1907 by Miss Pauline Wilcox. In the background is the statue of St. Therese as a Doctor of the Church. November 16, 2013.
