“The good God gave me a father and mother more worthy of Heaven than of earth,” wrote St. Thérèse of Lisieux of her beloved parents, Blesseds Louis and Zélie Martin.
If Monsieur and Madame Martin had not been the parents of Thérèse of Lisieux, their holiness likely would have gone unrecognized, at least officially. Yet everyday holiness has the power to transform the world, as expressed in the Vatican II document Lumen Gentium:
“They live in the world, that is, in each and in all of the secular professions and occupations. They live in the ordinary circumstances of family and social life, from which the very web of their existence is woven. They are called there by God that by exercising their proper function and led by the spirit of the Gospel they may work for the sanctification of the world from within as a leaven.”
Their feast day is July 12.
