S02 E02: Charlene Richard - The Little Cajun Saint

Join me this we as we learn about The Little Cajun Saint, Charlene Richard. Charlene Marie Richard was born on January 13, 1947. She passed away from acute lymphatic leukemia on August 11, 1959, at the age of twelve years old. She was a Roman Catholic Cajun girl from Richard, Louisiana in the United States. Although the Roman Catholic church has yet to canonize her, many firmly believe that she is a saint —who has performed a number of miracles. She has only recently been named a Servant of God, the first step in the canonization process.

Charlene's Prayer...

"Charlene, when you were only twelve years old, you showed heroic faith, hope, and love; dying of leukemia, you joined yourself to Jesus on the Cross and offered your intense pain for others. You thereby echoed St. Paul's words to his people in Colossians 1, 24: "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for Your sake, and in my flesh, I am filing up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of His Body, the Church."



Charlene, I believe you are with God. Please ask our Heavenly Father, His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit to grant me the following favor: (mention favor sought)



Charlene, thank you for helping me. May Jesus Christ always be praised. May Mary, Jesus' Ever-Virgin Mother, always be called blessed."

Prayer for Charlene's Canonization...

"Our Father in Heaven, moved by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior, we lift up our hearts to You and ask that, if it be Your will, You grant our request. May Your servant and native of Louisiana, Charlene Marie Richard, be raised to sainthood by the Holy Father, Successor of the Apostle St. Peter, and visible head of Jesus' Church on earth.



We entrust this prayer to You through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, under her title by which she is known as the Patroness of Louisiana: The Immaculate Conception.



Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be"
