Thursday, November 1, 2018SEVENTH DAY:
Martin worked willingly within his Dominican family and for those outside. He realized that that work demands self-discipline and contributes to the welfare of the society in which we live. Under the Providence of God it is one of the normal means of growing in holiness. Martin is an inspiration to us in his
willingness to work at whatever needed to be done. He also shared in Our Lord’s redemptive suffering through exercises of penance.
PRAYER:
Dear Saint Martin, obtain for us from God and His holy Mother Mary, the grace to understand the dignity of human labor as part of God’s plan for our sanctification and a cheerful acceptance of difficulties as a penance of our sins.
Amen.
