Thérèse of Lisieux is one of the world's best know saints and a Doctor of the Church. Her four sisters also entered convents. What kind of family life fostered so many vocations and such a great saint?
Thérèse's parents, Louis and Zélie Martin, lived a full life: they were business people, experienced joys and tragedies, including the loss of children, of a wife to cancer and the suffering of mental illness. They made mistakes but lived a life deeply grounded in prayer, faith and a great love for the Church.
