Charlene Maire Richard
1947-1959
Charlene Marie Richard was diagnosed
with acute lymphatic leukemia, she died on August 11,1959 at the
age of 12. Charlene would offer all her sufferings and her
prayers to God every day for the benefit of others, especially for
those that asked her to pray for
them.
The hospital chaplin, Father Joseph Brennan, where Charlene spent
her last days said, "I see Charlene as a witness for people of all
ages to the power of resignation and acceptance of God's
will. She wasn't different in any way except that when the
crisis came in her life- and it came very early-she accepted it
with faith and trust and love."
Even today people go to her grave side and ask for her intercession
and their prayers are being answered. Many spiritual and
physical healings began to take place and now her cause for
beatification, is being considered.

Prayer to Charlene
Richard
Charlene, when
you were only twelve years old, you showed heroic faith, hope
and love; dying of lukemia, you joined yourself to Jesus on his
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
filling 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 ou Heavenly
Father, His only-begotten Son Jesus Christ and the Holy
Spirit to grant e the following favor: (mention the favor
sought).
Charlene,
thank you for helping me. May Jesus Christ always be
praise. May Mary, Jesus' Ever Virgin Mother, always be called
blessed.
Prayer For Charlene's
Beatification
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...
