FOURTH DAY: “Faith comes by hearing, hearing the word of God.” Martin listened to the word of God in the proclamation of the Scripture in the Church. In simplicity of faith he tried to live in the spirit of the Gospel. God rewarded him by giving him a profound understanding of revealed Truth and the grace to express it in word and deed.
PRAYER: Dear Saint Martin, obtain for us from God and His holy Mother Mary the grace to open our hearts to the Gospel and to accept it in faith as you did. May our Christian way of living draw others to Christ so that there may be one fold and one shepherd, Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
