Friday, October 26, 2018FIRST DAY:
Martin learned from Our Lord to be gentle and humble of heart. Thoughts of pride or vanity were wholly alien to his Christian spirit. His relationship with God was the relationship of a child to a loving Father. Being a loving Father, God can only want us to be happy. So Martin realized that happiness can be found only in a whole hearted surrender to God’s holy will. His rule of life was to pray “Thy will be done” and to behave accordingly.
PRAYER:
Dear St Martin, obtain for us from God and his holy Mother Mary the grace to be truly gentle and lowly of heart. May we find happiness in cheerful acceptance of God’s holy will and may there be no place in our hearts for thoughts of pride or vanity. Amen.
