Dear Mr. McDonald: Thank you for this conference and for your remarks about BlessedZélie and Louis Martin, the parents of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the “Little Flower." This is to let you know that their letters have been published in English as
A Call to a Deeper Love: The Family Correspondence of the Parents of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, 1863-1885. 218 letters from Zélie and 16 letters from Louis invite you into the intimacy of the Martin family in the years before St. Thérèse’s
Story of a Soul.For documents, photos, and videos aboutthe Martin family and to order the book, please visit
www.thereseoflisieux.orgAs you know, Celine and Therese were both homeschooled, and that is not the only reason these letters will speak powerfully to families engaged in Catholic homeschooling.
