The last week of the Synod on the Family is marked by a great liturgical event: the canonization of a married couple, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux. St. Therese is the patron of missionaries and a Doctor of the Church who is one of the most venerated saints today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Pope will preside over the canonization ceremony in St. Peter's Square on October 18th.<\/p>\n
The miracle that allowed for their canonization was the inexplicable cure of a Spanish girl named \u00a0Carmen in 2008.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was born prematurely after a difficult pregnancy. She suffered from many diseases, starting with a very severe brain hemorrhage, and everyone feared the worst.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n'There were days of great suffering. Carmen was still in very serious condition. The antibiotics had no effect.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
The Archbishop of Valenica explains the details that followed the fatal diagnosis. Carmen's parents went to the nearest Barefoot Carmelites convent for help...<\/p>\n

\n'The doorbell rang, I went to answer. I heard a voice in pain tell me: 'Sister, I come \u00a0to pray for my daughter.'\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
There they recommended that she ask for the intercession of a couple who had been beatified only four days after the birth of her daughter, the parents of St. Therese.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Religious parents and friends of Carmen began to pray for her intercession and gradually the girl recovered completely. There was no explanation from a medical point of view. Carmen is now six.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There have been 18 testimonies for the process of canonization. Eight of them came from medical experts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The canonization of St. Therese's parents will take place during the last week of the Synod. It will be a special ceremony for Pope Francis because he is very devoted to St. Therese.\u00a0<\/p>\n
