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.
