Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin
God gave me a father and mother more worthy of heaven than of earth.
— St. Thérèse of Lisieux, letter
A watchmaker and a lacemaker from France. Both wanted to enter religious life, but God united them in marriage. They had nine children and buried four; all their daughters became nuns, among them St. Thérèse. The first spouses canonised together. The family is a path to holiness.
