In
her Story
of a Soul,
St. Therese relates how influential her family life was in forming
her spiritual life.
Now,
the canonization of her parents Louis and Zelie and the cause for the
beatification of her sister Léonie speak volumes for the robust
sanctity of the Martin family.
The Martins took no smooth
path to sanctity. They endured the loss of four children, financial
troubles, and the cancer that caused Zelie’s death. The key to
their success was simply this: love. With love, they endured both
great sorrows and the countless little troubles of everyday
life.
This is the story of a husband, wife, and five
daughters who formed a close-knit, thoroughly Catholic family. Their
lives set an example for anyone who seeks to raise a family in love,
and to live the Faith in daily life.
