Blessed Louis and Zélie Martin

Louis and Zélie Martin * Fully engaged in business, social, family, and ecclesial life, Louis and Zelie were constantly oriented to eternity. * Overwhelmed with responsibilities, each was faithful to the contemplative life, the family life of prayer, and the liturgical life of the Church, and they created a family similarly faithful. * Surrounding their daughters with love, tenderness, and good times, the parents formed each carefully from childhood in the spiritual life. * Devoted to each other and to their children, Zelie and Louis reached out lovingly to support their extended families at a personal sacrifice. * Suffering acute grief in many trials, they continued to trust in God's love for them. * While supporting a large family, they gave generously of their energy and money to the poor, to the Church, and to causing charity and justice in their society. * After leading heroic lives, Louis and Zelie surrendered themselves to long and painful illnesses and, in Zelie's case, to a premature death.
