So I know several people want to know more about Zelie's name. So here it goes.
What does it mean?
It is a variation of French for 'solemn'.
Why did we pick it?
That is a loaded question, so I'll just say we are really fascinated by this particular Saint. Marie-Azelie Guerin Martin is a fascinating individual, who was very influential in the lives of her daughters who all became nuns (some became Saints). She originally wanted to become a nun herself, but was turned away due to medical reasons. Zelie became a lacemaker and prayed to God for children so that they could be consecrated to Him.Wow. I mean, just wow. We can't help but marvel at the impact of her life and devotion.
