Click on the image to see it as a slightly larger PDF. Download it here. Please circulate it. Note that, especially if you are coming to Philadelphia from out of town or if you do not know your way around all parts of the city, the events of November 9-16 are your best chance to pray in the presence of the relics in the center of town. The Cathedral Basilica is centrally located, there is paid parking nearby, and transportation to and from the airport is not difficult.

Photographs of the new reliquary of St. Therese of Lisieux and of her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin
With the kind permission of the Magnificat Foundation and of the sculptor, Fleur Nabert, I have the honor of displaying the first photograph of the new reliquary containing relics of Saint Therese of Lisieux and of her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin.
Three separate containers hold relics of Louis Martin, Saint Therese, and Zelie Martin. Therese's relics are marked by a rose, those of her parents by lilies. For a full explanation of the symbolism of this reliquary, please see the Web site of the sculptor, Fleur Nabert.
We are most blessed to have the reliquary housed permanently in the United States. May its presence flood us with prayer, grace, and healing.

The first photographs of the new reliquary for St. Therese and her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, on the Web site of the artist, sculptor Fleur Nabert
Please see the first photos of the new reliquary which contains relics of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin and of St. Therese. The reliquary, a gift from the Magnificat Foundation to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, was designed by scuptor Fleur Nabert, who designed the chapel of the Virgin of the Smile in the Hermitage at Lisieux and the "space of Mercy," a work in stained glass and sculpture, in the Basilica at Lisieux.
