Happy feast of Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin, July 12, 2021

This is to wish all our readers many blessings on the feast of Saints Louis and Zelie Martin! May they come to the aid of all the persons and families who have suffered this year as a result of sickness, death, war, natural disasters, and other trials.

For a feast-day treat, I invite you to visit my slide show “The World of Saint Therese and Her Family,” founded on much research and including more than 350 photos, some never before published. Through this photo show you can walk through the lives of Louis and Zelie and of Therese.

Note: The slide show is most effective in fullscreen. If you have a projector, you are welcome to project the slide show from this Web site for groups and to add any commentary you may wish to make while displaying the photos. This is a superb visual introduction to the life of the Martin family. Permission is not given to copy the images, but I’m delighted to see them projected from the site. Please remember in your prayers the generous photographers and others, both French and American, who helped me to obtain these images during my visits to France. Thank you.
