Saint Zelie Martin.

 

Our fourth Mother is Saint Zelie Martin, Mother of Therese of Lisiuex.

“I want to become a saint; it will not be easy at all. I have a lot of wood to chop and it is as hard as stone. I should have started sooner, while it was not so difficult; but, in any case, better late than never.” Saint Zelie Martin.

This inspiring and example for all women and mothers wanted to become a nun but was turned away by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, due to respiratory difficulties and headaches. She prayed for many children who would be consecrated to God. Saint Zelie became a lace maker, making alencon lace. She fell in love and married watchmaker Louis Martin. Saint Zelie Martin seems to do what is necessary to provide the best lives for her children, physically and spiritually.

May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope.
