"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

TGIF!


"Babies remind us to be in awe of the world. 

We should never stop being in awe of babies. 

Each time a baby is born, it is as if a whole new world has been created, 


 because the world is being seen for the first time by a new soul as if it were the first day of creation;

 inside that little head, there is a new system of stars, 

 new grass, 

                                             

new cities,




a new sea."
--G.K. Chesterton
