July 10 was the feast of one of the Church's beatified married couples, Blesseds Louis Martin and Marie-Zélie Guerin Martin, the parents of St. Thérèse. We at ENDOW encourage all parents to pray to these two holy Blesseds who raised their child, St. Therese, to become a great Saint and Doctor of the Church with her “Little Way.” They are on their way to sainthood as well. Blessed be God! We parents know the great demand to raise our children in the faith and the call to encourage them to live as God intends, constantly attentive to the will of God and following His leading. When parents seek to know and obey God in their homes, there is a JOY of new life which pours forth from their family in the form of faith filled and loving children.
The article “Building a Family-Friendly Society” featured on ZENIT illustrates the central importance of good families in society....."Families founded on marriage offer society essential goods through the generation of new citizens and the increase of social virtues," he said. "Thus, they have a right to a just cultural, juridical and economic recognition.".....(See full article:click here). Blesseds Louis and Marie-Zelie Guerin Martin and St. Therese, please intercede for all families to be strengthened in love and be true witnesses to the importance of the family for society.
