My 6 year old daughter asked me, "Tatay, who is your favorite saint?"
I said, "After Mama Mary, Pope John Paul II."
She replied, "Me, too."
I said, "Is Padre Pio yours?"
"Uh-huh, and so is St. Therese," she replied.
I then said, "Actually, a married saint is St. Louis [Martin], father of St. Therese. He was the father of nine, like me..."
(Part of her name is Therese.)
"...except some of his kids died. We lost 2 in a miscarriage."
"..."
"And another married saint is St. Lorenzo Ruiz. He had three kids."
"I heard of him," she said.
"He's my Confirmation saint."
Thank you, God.
