Friends of the Rosary,

Today, on Veterans Day (USA) and Remembrance Day (Canada), we remember in our prayers those who have served in the U.S. armed forces. Veterans Day is set aside for honoring military veterans in America.

Also, today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Martin of Tours (and also remembers St. Mennas of Egypt, an Egyptian soldier and martyr who was put to death during Diocletian’s reign.

Martin was a soldier before being a bishop and a saint — a soldier of God!

He was born of pagan parents in Pannonia, present-day Hungary, and became a catechumen of his own initiative at the age of ten. He joined the Roman army and demonstrated his faith to his fellow soldiers through his acts of charity until his resignation.

Martin founded a monastic community in Ligugé, France, on land given to him by Saint Hilary of Poitiers. In 372, he was elected Bishop of Tours. He preached tirelessly and with fervor. After his death in 397, Martin’s Vita, the story of his life, spread throughout Europe.

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
