In this heartfelt Catholic talk, we explore a “let them come” mentality—St. Zélie & Louis Martin’s supernatural love for children—and 10 qualities that make kids truly precious. Through Genesis snapshots (Cain, Abel, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, Esau, Joseph & Benjamin), we uncover a biblical blueprint for protecting, forming, and enjoying our children—body and soul.

You’ll hear:
• St. Zélie Martin’s ninth pregnancy and the birth of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
• Why “let them come” is a grace, not mere prudence or social pressure
• How Genesis reveals ten qualities of preciousness (unique, from God, beautiful, durable, intended, entrusted, chosen, loving, suffering, rare)
• Practical ways to love children in the “language” they understand—so human love opens their hearts to divine love

🎯 Key themes: Catholic family life, pro-life witness, baptism and grace, Marian devotion, vocation, discipline with affection, suffering without victimhood, and raising saints in a hostile culture.
