The Life and Lessons of St. Zelie Martin - Paperback

by Patrice Fagnant-MacArthur (Author)

Although she lived a hundred and fifty years ago, St. Z駘ie Martin (1831-1877) was a modern woman. She was a working mother who cared deeply about both her family and her career. She struggled to balance all her responsibilities. She often worried. But she always put God first and strove for holiness in everything she did.

She and her husband, Louis, were canonized together on October 18, 2015. They are best known as the parents of five daughters who entered religious life. Their most famous child is St. Th駻鑚e of the Child Jesus, one of the Church's most loved saints and a Doctor of the Church.

Together, Saints Louis and Z駘ie are role models for a holy marriage and Catholic parenting. St. Z駘ie is a spiritual friend whom today's women can turn to in their times of need. Discover this holy woman and the important lessons she can teach us.
