God bless Maria José You can tell your priest about Gianna Beretta Molla, about Louis and Zelia Martin, about the couple Quattrocchi and finally about St. Rita of Cassia who was married before entering the convent, and from what I know, the way she lived her married life was a true testimony of how a saint would live through a difficult marriage.

None were married. After Mass I asked him to include some married Saints in next years homily. He seemed so baffled and bemused I told him he had a whole year to come up with some and he didn't have to answer right away. I walked away saddened that he could not come up with the name of even one in that short encounter. I wonder why we never speak of the Virgin Mary as a married saint? I don't think angels picked up Joseph's socks and put the toilet paper actually back on the roller instead of leaving it on the counter. (The first century equivalents of course.) Certainly she must have wondered where she got this guy from once in awhile. Just this Sunday our priest gave an All Saints Day homily and briefly noted the names and lives of some saints.
