The Father of the Little Flower

Louis Martin 1823-1894

By Celine Martin

This book describes Louis Martin, father of St Therese, his love for his wife Zelie, his firm discipline and tender affection for his children, his piety, his observance of Sunday, business practices, selfless conduct and generosity to the poor. Particular attention is given to Louis' old age, foreseen in a vision by St Therese, which included a period of time spent in a mental institution and his beautiful death, as well as a sign received by St Therese that her father's soul had gone straight to Heaven. 124pp pb
