Cause of Leonie Martin underway

Leonie Martin’s first step to sainthood: bishop grants imprimatur for prayer

Mgr Jean-Claude Boulanger, bishop of Bayeux-Lisieux, granted the imprimatur for a prayer that Leonie be declared venerable

Dear Léonie our Sister,

You have already intervened with God on our behalf,

and we would  like to be able to pray to you officially,

so that many more might know you.

Come to the aid of parents who risk losing a child,

as you nearly died at a very young age.

Continue to uphold the families

where different generations

have problems living together in peace.

Enlighten youth who question their future

and hesitate to commit.

Show to all the way of prayer

which permits you to bear your limitations and your difficulties with confidence,

and to give yourself to others.

Lord, if such is your will,

deign to accord us the grace that we ask of you

through the intercession of your servant Léonie, and

inscribe her among the number of the venerable of your Church.

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.

Imprimatur: March 25, 2012
