THE ULMA FAMILY - 7 JULY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JULY Saints celebrated on the 7th of July WELCOME! THE ULMA FAMILY  Blesseds Jozef (b. 1900) and Wiktoria (b. 1912) Ulma are remembered on July 7, their wedding anniversary. They were killed for harbouring Jews during the Second World War (on March 24, 1944). Along with the Jewish ladies and gentlemen whom they hid, the couple's children, aged between 7 and newborn, were victims of this barbarous execution. PRAYER FOR THE INTERCESSION OF THE ULMA FAMILY Almighty and eternal God, we thank you for the testimony of the heroic love of the spouses Jozef and Wiktoria with their children, who gave their lives to save persecuted Jews. May their prayers and example support families in Christian life and help everyone to follow the true path of holiness. Lord, if it is in accordance with Your will, kindly grant me the grace... for which am asking You through their intercession and count them among the Blessed. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Father... ...
