Beatification of the parents of Therese de Lisieux: a celebration without precedent

[Crystal Soul]

Mgr Bernard Lagoutte, vice-chancellor of the sanctuary Holy Therese de Lisieux (Apple-brandy), underlined Thursday, by presenting the next beatification, on October 19 with Lisieux, of the parents of Holy Therese, Zélie and Louis Martin, who it was about a celebration without precedent in the history of the Church.
Zélie and Louis Martin will not be béatifiés “because their daughter is holy” but well because the Church judged some worthy at the end of a long process, explained in front of press Mgr Lagoutte, vice-chancellor of the sanctuary Sainte Therese.
It is on Sunday October 19 that this beatification in the basilica of Lisieux during a pontifical mass will take place which will be said by the papal legate Benoît XVI, the cardinal Saraiva Martins.
Some 10.000 people, whose delegations coming from a score of country will be accomodated, from October 16 with Lisieux.
Mgr Lagoutte gave an account of the “extraordinary interest” expressed “in the world” for this celebration. It quoted in example the “75.000 images” of the couple ordered by catholics of Florida who “ask even for the canonization” of the parents of Holy Therese. “I never met this zeal with Lisieux”, it noticed.
Louis (1823-1894) and Zélie (1831-1877) Martin had nine children, whose Therese (1873-1897) was the last. Their life, which proceeded in Alençon, (Flowering ash) is well-known through a bulky family correspondence as through the writings of Therese.
Zélie, “the very rich personality”, ensures Mgr Lagoutte, exerted the trade of lacemaker and even employed 18 workers while the father was clock and watch maker. Widower rather early (the small Therese is only 4 years old), it was very close to this girl, entry in Carmel at 15 years.
“Shortly after the canonization of Therese in 1925, explained Mgr Lagoutte, one started to request for the dad…”.
After instruction of their files, the two parents were declared “worthy” by the Church in 1994. After recognition, by the authorities vaticanes, of a miracle - that of the life of small Pietro in 2003 in Monza - the Vatican announced, at the beginning of July, the beatification of Zélie and Louis, in Lisieux.
The beatification is the act by which the pope places a person at the row of “happy” (beati). By “canonization”, it registers it on the official list (gun) saints.
