Pope canonises French couple Louis and Zelie Martin 교종 프란시스 성녀 소화 데레사의 부모 시성

Louis and Zelie Martin were the parents of Saint Theresa of Lisieux

Pope Francis has conducted the first canonisation of a married couple in a ceremony in St Peter's Square. 교종 프란시스는 성 베드로 광장에서 거행된 예식에서 결혼한 커플의 첫 시성식을 집전했다.

Louis and Marie-Zelie Guerin Martin, who lived in France in the 19th Century, were the parents of the much venerated Saint Therese of Lisieux. 루이스와 마리젤리 구에린 마틴은 19세기 불란서에서 살았던 부부로 많은 이들로부터 존경을 받는 리지외의 성녀 데레사의 부모이다.

The couple had nine children, four of whom died in infancy. The remaining five, all girls, became nuns. 부부는 9 자녀를 낳았는데, 그 중 4은 영아기에 사망했다. 나머지 5은 모두 딸인데, 다 수녀가 되었다.

The youngest, Therese, died of tuberculosis aged 24 in 1897 and was canonised in 1925. 다섯 딸 중 막내인 데레사는 1897년 24살의 어린 나이로 폐결핵으로 죽었으나 1925년 시성되었다.

Analysis by David Willey, BBC News, Rome

Known as "the little flower", Therese of Lisieux is widely venerated for the simplicity of her spiritual life.

Her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, has inspired generations of modern Catholics.

Her parents are being held up as a fine example of a Christian family while bishops from around the world are gathered here to discuss how best to minister to modern families - including divorced persons who remarry, who - under present Church rules - are barred from taking communion.

Pope Francis told the 50,000 people attending the ceremony that serving others - not seeking careers - should be the model for today's churchmen.

In his homily, Pope Francis said: "The holy spouses Louis Martin and Marie-Zelie Guerin practised Christian service in the family, creating day by day an environment of faith and love which nurtured the vocations of their daughters, among whom was Saint Therese of the Child Jesus."

The Pope also canonised an Italian priest and a Spanish nun, both of whom spent most of their lives helping the poor.
