Dear God:
Thank you for the example of your servant, St. Martin, who
reminds us that simple, impulsive acts of charity do not go unnoticed in
heaven, that willingness to die for one’s country doesn’t have to be
the same as willingness to kill for it, and that vigorous opposition to
heresy and non-Christian belief doesn’t have to include violence or
hatred toward heretics and non-Christians.
Through his example and
the power of the Holy Spirit, make us both more gentle and more fervent,
more humble and more daring, and above all more loving toward all whom
we encounter.
In the name of your Son Jesus Christ, Amen.
