Feast of St. Martin of Tours, Bishop
Today, we honor St. Martin of Tours, a humble soldier turned saint whose life shines with compassion, generosity, and unwavering faith. Born into a life of privilege and power, Martin chose instead the path of simplicity and service, embodying the true spirit of Christian charity.
The most famous story of St. Martin reminds us of his selfless love: one cold winter night, he saw a beggar shivering on the roadside. Without hesitation, Martin cut his military cloak in half and shared it with the man. That very night, Christ appeared to him in a dream, wearing the same cloak, saying, "Martin, still a catechumen, has covered me with his garment."
Today, may we be inspired by his example, to open our hearts to those in need, to serve without seeking reward, and to let kindness be our daily mission.
St. Martin of Tours, Bishop, pray for us that we may become instruments of Godโs love and peace in our world today.
